    6/2 - 6 miles
    6/4 - 65 miles

    50 more slow miles with a neighbor today. Glad to get him out riding for a few hours even though the pace wasn't too challenging. Even though I prefer using my mountain shoes with recessed cleats (to avoid destroying flooring when taking breaks), I may need to stick with my tri/road shoes for longer rides as they have a more rigid base and I'm starting to get some hot spots on the bottom of my foot.

    6/1 - 15 miles
    6/2 - 6 miles
    6/4 - 65 miles
    6/5 - 50 miles

    Total: 136 miles
    Goal: 500 miles
    Remaining: 364 miles

    March Cycling: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
    April Cycling: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
    May Cycling: 259.06 km (160.9 miles) = 14 hours 5 min (including 45 min on trainer)

    It is winter. The sun is setting at 4:45 pm, there's snow on the mountain, and it is cold. But happily, this is the month where daylight hours will start increasing again ... just need to make it through June. :)

    June Totals

    01 Mon - 60 min on bicycle on trainer

    03 Wed - 50 min on bicycle on trainer

    06 Sat - 100 kilometre ride on our Bike Friday Pocket Llamas (folding bikes). The route was relatively flat, but had the added challenge of rain for the first half of the ride. Fortunately it was a warm day for winter, and wasn't at all windy for a change!

    That was the longest distance we have ridden the folding bikes so far. It was kind of a test ride to see how we would go over that distance. We were reasonably comfortable. I was having a few back/right hip issues, but stretching seemed to help.

    100.72 km in 6 hours 25 min 34 sec total.
    (Moving time was 5 hours 31 min 26 sec)

    Oh, I'd like to join! I'm just a casual cyclist on a heavy mountain bike, but I'm trying to increase my mileage as my schedule permits!

    I'm in for 60 miles this month.

    Mountain bikes definitely require more effort! Do you go on trails a lot? I switched to a hybrid and it really makes huge difference . I am by no means a "serious" rider, usually 18 miles a day.
