April wasn't a brilliant month for me in terms of exercise ... I had hoped to do one or two longer bicycle rides but sometimes life intervenes in the plans. April ended up being an incredibly busy month with a heavier-than-usual workload at work + assignments due at university + the final steps of my citizenship process. I wrote the citizenship exam and then my ceremony was on April 29 and I am now officially an Australian Citizen!
May should be a calmer month, although I will be wrapping up the uni course I'm in so there will be work to do for that. Nevertheless, I hope for more kilometres than last May.

https://www.strava.com/athletes/9695616
When I reviewed one of my rides at the weekend I was amazed that one segment has been done by 54302 Strava users.
Not going to say where my time ranked me but let's just say there's plenty of room for improvement!

I was finally able to read through everyone's posts since mid-May. GREAT job everyone!!!! I'm so happy to have this community. Yesterday on my bike ride, I don't think I would have pushed myself to add that extra twenty mile loop if not for my goal on here.0

Got a good pic of my northern baseball commuter bike as I've finished the last few upgrades. Crank needs to be tightened a bit, but shifting is happier as I've cleaned/re-lubricated the chain.

@ummsqueaky - Good luck with the tri training. Definitely get in a few brick sessions when you can (running off the bike) as your legs will feel a bit funky for the first few miles. Lately I've been using the olympic heart-rate plan built into my garmin (via the garmin connect site) for triathlon training, in addition to a bunch of group rides/runs with my triathlon team.3 -

Got in my usual commuting miles along with an 8 mile 300 watt sufferfest at the gym (plus some warmup/cooldown). Can't seem to get my front triple derailleur on my commuter bike happy, so I think I'll need to bring it over to some professionals later this week.

The last 5 km was in full monsoon rain. Loyang hill became Loyang Rapids and I was definitely going against the flow. Then some idiot in a car decided to cut me up and I have no idea how I kept the bike upright (road slicks so no grip in the wet). I'm just glad that I have disk brakes rather than rim brakes
