    4/28 - 10 miles - yup, got rained on on the way home yesterday and surprisingly it wasn't too bad. It was a light to moderate rain, in the 50s, but I ended up drenched at the end. So drenched that my tights, socks and shoes weren't dry yet this morning. And, it's raining again now, so I biked to the train station and took the train in to work. I figure I can bike home in the rain, but it would be rather miserable to bike to work in the rain and then have to put on damp clothes for the ride home. Doesn't look like I'll make 600 miles this month, but a pretty darn good showing for #30daysofbiking.

    Month to date: 530 miles
    Year to date: 1096 miles

    I'm a bit behind where I wanted to be ... behind last April ... but this month has been hectic! I've hardly had a second to think let alone cycle or walk. Plus, my husband had an accident at work and cracked his ribs, so he hasn't been able to get out as much either.

    Got in an extra 16 miles on my fixie as I hadn't done much riding on it, but needed to replace a flat and pick up a replacement tube. Definitely much slower when dealing with winds but fun to ride nevertheless.

    4/4 - 18 miles
    4/5 - 29 miles
    4/6 - 51 miles

    Late in this month, but I'll try for 400km.

    1st Apr: 12 km
    9th Apr: 22.45 km
    10th Apr: 23.54 km
    11th Apr: 23.85 km
    13th Apr: 30.35 km
    15th Apr: 30.36 km
    16th Apr: 30.93 km
    17th Apr: 25.23 km
    18th Apr: 18 km
    19th Apr: 30.33 km
    20th Apr: 31.92 km
    21st Apr: 9.96 km
    22nd Apr: 30.34 km
    23rd Apr: 38.98 km
    24th Apr: 31.47 km
    25th Apr: 30.04 km
    27th Apr: 39.95 km
    28th Apr: 31.43 km
    29th Apr: 39.89 km. there was the most beautiful sunrise this morning. As I did the 6km stretch alongside Changi runway I watched the sky go from purple streaked with pink, through an amazing array of reds and oranges and ending with a beautiful soft azure sky with grey and white streaked clouds. I'd have loved to get photos, but the camera on the phone could never have captured the colours. Screwed up my speed on this stretch, but definitely worth it. Makes getting up at 4:30 every morning much easier when you see things like this.

    4/29 - 23 miles - second to last day of #30daysofbiking. I road home in the rain the last two days, and this morning the temps were in the mid 30s, but thankfully dry. Despite the less than desirable conditions, I really enjoyed these rides, which got me wondering as to why. And I think the reason is because there are less people out. Don't get me wrong, I love that so many other people love the outdoors and want to be out enjoying it, but after a winter of solitude on my bike, I've come to appreciate the alone time out in nature (or as much nature as one can have in the city). It puts my mind at ease in ways riding with a group doesn't.

    That's my month's cycling done now as not out again until Sunday so a little short of my goal. But I had 2 big things for me this month:
    1) I rode 2 long cycles on consecutive days which I never normally do and I enjoyed it.
    2) I've started racing!! And I absolutely love it. I never knew that I'm a total speed Queen!!

    For the newbies this statement is so very true. I started out at 0.65 and now I am doing 7.14. So no matter how slow you are you are welcomed.

    We all start somewhere, it's not about speed or distance it's all about getting out, enjoying the fresh air and the ride
