    Finally got some more miles on the board after another really crappy week*.

    Fri 09 - 30.32 miles

    MTD 50.19 / 200, YTD 2612.72 / 2500

    (* when I say that a bowel cancer screening by endoscope only just made the top 3 crappiest items, that will give some idea of how enjoyable this week has been)
    @35dollars
    That sounds like a real PITA......
    Sorry - couldn't resist. :blush:

    I'm mostly on my trainer with winter having settled in...I'm shooting for about 200 minutes per week for the next few months.

    I'm a little behind having been knocked out for about a week with an upper respiratory infection.

    That 200 mile target is already looking a bit optimistic, but will keep going as much as possible.

    Ended up skipping a team ride today due to heavy fog (that I had originally planned to ride to/from to get in a Century) so the biking gods got their revenge on me as my fixed gear beach bike/errand commuter was stolen (alongside 15 other bikes from a locked building storage room).

    Given it was a $90 bike (with another $90 in upgrades), and I didn't pull it out of my building's shared locked storage room after my saddle bag was stolen off it last month (as it was locked to a rack in the room when swiped), I'm not too upset. The bike was pretty distinctive (as it was a bright green bike, and I replaced the stock crank with a bright orange crank), so I think I may have more than the usual 1% chance of it being recovered as I also had the full specs/serial number for the filed police report. Still, not holding my breath, and used it as an excuse to order a new commuter/inexpensive bike. I had spotted a great fixie last week for $140 on amazon (SE Draft Lager), but sure enough it was back up to $220 today so I dug further around Amazon, spotted a nice deal on a Ridley Fenix 105 groupset Aluminum/Carbon Fork mix for $380 in my size, and ordered it instead.

    12/2 - 26 miles
    12/4 - 20 miles
    12/7 - 34 miles
    12/9 - 72 miles
    12/10 - 38 miles
    12/11 - 21 miles
    12/12 - 31 miles
    12/14 - 8 miles (to/from police station to file report)

    Total: 250 miles
    Goal: 621 miles
    Remaining: 371 miles

    RIP Beach Fixie

    Thu 15 - 23.64 miles

    MTD 150.23 / 200, YTD 2712.76 / 2500

    That's me over 100 miles for the week, for the first time since the end of October. So, nice that I've got there, but shows what a mess the last 6 weeks have been.

    Sorry about the loss of your bike @Ohhim , though any excuse for a new one is not to be sniffed at of course. Curious about the concept of a sand bike though - don't the chain and gears get clogged up virtually immediately?

    Pretty satisfied with my pace of getting through this although I do wish I didn't miss three days in a row, but what with snow shoveling and other activity my muscles got quite sore. Even today I felt some twinges from the muscles in my back climbing on the bike.
