    5/1 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles
    5/2 - 100.5miles @17mph with 4,600' climbing. First century of the season!!! I rode it solo in 5hr 56min moving and 6hr 34min total time. It was my fastest century ever by more then 1mph avg ! (It helped it was also my flattest century ever).
    5/3 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles.
    5/4 - 31 miles @17mph w/ 1,450' climbing
    5/5 - 24.5 miles @16.1mph w/1,300' climbing
    5/6 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles

    5/8 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles
    5/9 - 63miles @17.4mph with 2,800' climbing. Pace ride.
    5/10 - 106miles @15.4 w/6,350' climbing. 'Icecream Century' - mile 58 stopped at darry farm with yummy real homemade Icecream. Legs were tired from Saturday's ride so took it slow.
    5/11 - 21miles @14.6mph w/1,000 climbing. SLOW recovery ride. It was still too hot out though. Summer has arrived in full force!
    5/12 - 31miles @17.7mph w/ 1,350' climbing. Attempt at speed.
    5/13 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles

    Ended up splitting my mileage today between the expresso machine, and my commute to/from baseball. I'm not really sure what to make of the expresso, as it doesn't let you freeroll/coast (especially downhill), it also punishes you for higher cadences, but the VR worlds are nice and the online tracker/leaderboards are good motivation as well.

    5/5 - 16 miles
    5/6 - 12 miles
    5/7 - 12 miles
    5/8 - 12 miles
    5/9 - 20 miles
    5/10 - 12 miles
    5/11 - 10 miles
    5/13 - 17 miles
    5/15 - 42 miles
    5/16 - 14 miles
    5/17 - 30 miles @ 18 mph
    5/18 - 3 miles (just picking up the bike from the shop)
    5/19 - 12 miles
    5/20 - 12 miles
    5/22 - 25 miles

    Goal: 500 miles
    Total: 249 miles

    First day of cycling in a couple of years. No goal this month. Next month I plan on increasing rides of 22 miles 2-3 times a week (my previous rides). Only 2.8 miles today mainly to fine tune bike.

    March Cycling: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
    April Cycling: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
    ~~~~~~~~~~

    Darkness is falling by about 5:30 pm now and the days are becoming chilly. Yep ... winter is setting in.

    Nevertheless, I have already blown past my km total for May last year! :smiley: So here's hoping for decent weekends this month so that I can keep it up.

    My goal this month isn't distance ... although that's always part of it ... instead my goal is to get out there at least once each weekend (except the last weekend of May) and do a climbing ride. I live in a very hilly area right now which presents me with a huge challenge because I am a flatlander. I'm not a mountain goat like the rest of the people around here. So now that I'm getting lighter, this month, my plan is to work on climbing.

    Let's get started ...

    May ...

    02 Sat - 37.43 km with 612 metres of climbing
    03 Sun - 30.04 km with ... next to 0 metres of climbing (relatively flat recovery ride)

    09 Sat - 27.5 km ... with next to 0 metres of climbing
    10 Sun - 41.03 km ... with 764 metres of climbing

    Sub-total: 137 km


    Getting chilly down here ... we've had a blast of winter this past week, and today's ride was quite frosty at times.

    16 Sat - 22.3 km ride with 557 metres of climbing
    17 Sat - 26 km flatter ride along the foreshore

    Sub-total: 185.3 km


    23 Sat - 31.66 km ... relatively flat
    24 Sun - 25.5 km with 400 metres of climbing .... hilly and chilly

    Sub-total: 242.46 km (150.6 miles)

    Did some commuting along with some more VR miles on the expresso machine at the gym. It seems that every time I start on the machine, I promise myself that I'll stick with my target wattage level and cadence, but instead as soon as I see the leader board for the route, I pick up my speed to gun for the top spot. Still, some occasional high intensity workouts aren't that bad for me.
