    No outdoor cycling at all this week (apart from station commutes, which I don't count...).
    Just too cold for my delicate pinkies! :(

    21 miles on an eSpinning bike
    27.1 miles on a WattbikePro

    Total 48.1

    Starting to swap focus from cycling to strength training for the next few months.

    At last I managed to get a proper cycle ride in this month! Just a gentle trundle in the countryside without chasing any particular time or distance, just for the pleasure of cycling in nice countryside. It seems my stupid hands and feet will tolerate temperatures of 9C comfortably, become marginal at 8C and get very cold at 7C.
    55 miles and lots of smiles.

    22.5 virtual miles on WattbikePro.
    22.6 virtual miles on WattbikePro.
    55.3 real miles.

    100.4 miles for the week

    Running total 148.5

    Disappointing cycling month - hands are really suffering with the cold this winter in everyday life let alone cycling. :(

    6 miles outdoors
    19 virtual miles on eSpinning bike doing hill intervals
    18 virtual and easy miles on eSpinning bike.
    23 miles on WattBike Pro
    26 miles on WattBike Pro

    240.5 miles running total for November. Aiming for another 285 miles before end of the year to clock up 4000 for the year. Hoping the temperature rises a little to let me do the miles outdoors....

    Got in a faster 40 mile spin this afternoon on my tri bike. Had some ugly headwinds but enjoyed the tailwind coming home as I was about 5 mph faster going in that direction. Debating how to knock out my last miles, but can do a century Wednesday if necessary, otherwise, I'll just get in 53 each of the last 2 days.

    I'm really impressed by all of you who manage to ride so much despite the colder weather, great job!

    It's a good thing I didn't set a goal for this month - between a week of marathon recovery, two weeks of horrible weather (mix of snow and freezing rain) and two flat tires, I'm only at 62.7km for the month. I hope December will be better!

    With proper gear, there is no such thing as colder or bad biking weather. B)

    This time of year involves using lights for a ride after work. Ditto on winter cycling boots, layers of clothing, gloves, etc... . No snow as of yet, but even after it does fall - luckily our county removes it from the bike trail.

    And if it is really cold and bad outside - the basement is always there waiting. :)

    Finally got some more miles on the road, after a gall-stone of a week.

    Tue 29 - 28.96 miles

    MTD 155.3 / 350, YTD 2538.74 / 2500.

    I re-activated my cross bike for the ride to work today - its big, fat tires with lots of thread did a better job on the wet leaves/acorns/... than the road bike tires, even if it felt super-heavy and sitting so upright was weird.
    Still, while I might be crazy enough to run in snow or torrential rain, I'm going to be a wimp and draw a line at cycling when the weather's like that. My car needs a bit of exercise too every now and then ;)

    Squeezed in another training session, 269 miles running total for November.
    Aiming for 257 in December to hit my annual goal.

    May have to take my own saddle into the gym and do some longer sessions. Yuk - but needs must....

    Wed 30 - 23.79 miles

    MTD 179.09 / 350, YTD 2562.53 / 2500

    Nowhere near my monthly target, but with bike troubles and illness, I'll settle for and just be glad to be back on the bike and over my year target.

    Lovely biking weather today - under -7 degrees C this morning, but a balmy -3 on the way home.

    Onwards and upwards for December!
