    Just another ride to/from the Pirates vs. Tigers game today, along with some tuning miles as I had a local shop install the new front derailleur and I wanted to make sure the brifters were in line. Very happy that the bike is pretty much done for now, although replacing the brakes is my likely next project.

    4/1 - 28 miles
    4/4 - 18 miles
    4/5 - 29 miles
    4/6 - 51 miles (Rays vs. Jays @ Tropicana)
    4/10 - 56 miles (ironman florida 70.3 - 2:39 bike split, 5:07 total time)
    4/13 - 25 miles (to/from Pirates vs. Tigers, and a nice hard expresso trainer session @ 290 watts)
    4/14 - 15 miles

    Total: 223 miles
    Goal: 500 miles
    Remaining: 277 miles

    @SingingSingleTracker - Good luck with your first race!

    Only about 30 miles so far this month (which really, is only this week, since the weather has been so lousy). By the end of today it'll be 40, so for one week, I guess that's not so bad.

    I'll try to do better tracking daily. Sometimes I forget to start my watch before I ride, and because I ride in the city and have lots of stoplights and intersections, my pace is a slower than I'd like. But hey, I'm moving, right?

    4/15 - 23 miles - the shower facilities at work continue to be unreliable, so I decided to try to bike in "normal people" clothes (aka no spandex). The weather was a gorgeous 50 degrees again, the wind was with me (thankfully, especially after a horrid headwind on the way home), and I got to work no worse for wear, aside from a sweaty back from my backpack. Wouldn't be able to do this on any day other than casual Friday, so I hope the showers get fixed soon!

    Month to date: 320 miles
    Year to date: 886 miles

    15 days into the #30daysofbiking! So far the weather has been kind to me. It was cold and windy up front, but thus far have avoided major snow and/or rain. I'm looking forward to putting together my new Gunnar this weekend and taking it out for a spin. I know next to nothing about bike maintenance, aside from how to change a flat and how to oil my chain, so I'm also excited to learn more how everything works together. I'm playing around with the idea of riding across the country in the next few years, and I can't do that if I don't know how to fix my own bike!

    Hi all after rain and root canals I finally got in a ride!

    Goal: 200 miles

    4/3 - 20.4
    4/6 - 15.6
    4/11 - 15.3 - Ugly headwinds (how is it possible to have them going both ways??)
    P
    I plan to ride about 26 miles tomorrow or Sun. I'm playing catch-up now. Kudos to all who are heading out in the cold and nasty weather, it takes a lot of motivation :smiley:

    Continuing to commute around Pittsburgh by bike this week, and starting to get my climbing legs back (as Florida definitely lacks hills). Took my ride easy to/from tonight's ballgame, as I've run about 40 miles the past 3 days as well and my legs are starting to rebel. Getting the hang of thumb-button shifting on my brifters as my other bikes all have the standard shimano 2-piece pivot brifters.

    4/1 - 28 miles
    4/4 - 18 miles
    4/5 - 29 miles
    4/6 - 51 miles (Rays vs. Jays @ Tropicana)
    4/10 - 56 miles (ironman florida 70.3 - 2:39 bike split, 5:07 total time)
    4/13 - 25 miles (to/from Pirates vs. Tigers, and a nice hard expresso trainer session @ 290 watts)
    4/14 - 15 miles
    4/15 - 13 miles

    Total: 236 miles
    Goal: 500 miles
    Remaining: 264 miles

    Just a few more baseball game commutes around town, as my legs are starting to get a bit more used to the hills. Really appreciating the brifters here in the hills, although my triple front isn't reliably downshifting to the bottom cog at cadences under 90, so I'll need to do a bit more tuning.
