    644 miles so far this year. Aiming for around 80-90 per week. Commute + recreation (MTB). Just wish this wind & rain would go away!

    2/16 - 1.4 miles outside. The weather was amazing.
    2/18 - 0.5 miles outside. Woot.
    2/19 - 1.9 miles outside in three separate rides. Also did 75 minutes of gardening. Yay! Pain is an issue as always, but I move slowly and keep moving.
    2/20 - 0.9 miles outside.
    2/21 - 0.4 miles outside. Chillier than I thought.
    2/23 - 1.6 miles outside, listening to some Motown hits.


    Goal - none.
    MTD - 6.7 miles.

    I am one of the newbie amateur bicycling people. But today I went on a local trail and had so much fun. I usually stick with a cruiser and this time I braved it with the hybrid and experimented with speeds. It was glorious to feel like it finally "clicked" for me! I also went much further than last time I was on the same trails, and felt more confident. I surprised my husband by catching up with him on a trail I did not venture onto last time we were there. Overall just a very fun day for me!

    Greetings, I'm back!! Make that GLAD TO BE BACK. I see many familiar faces posting, along with many new ones. Thanks Cricket for keeping it going.
    My December hip replacement went well. So, yesterday I rode 7 miles, and 7 more today. My "plan" was to take it easy for 4-8 weeks. Forget that! I'm going to go at least an hour effective immediately. I still don't think I'll ride much the next few weeks due to the rain so I wont be overdoing it.
    I log outside miles [all on a road bike]. I don't have any mileage goal. My goal is to be safe!

    Long urban ride while car in shop. Heavy traffic to beach county park connecting to U road connecting to Courtney Campbell trail. About two hours worth.

    Awesome job Steve :)

    And I see lots of great rides from everyone!

    Snow has kept me from riding this month. Those few miles I did on the first few days are all that I have for February. Hopefully next month I will see some clear roads.

    I am going to have to join the March Challenge! I just got myself a bike a few days ago and got a cart to pull my son (2yr) in! Even though I haven't ridden a bike in over 10 years, just in the past 2 days I have done 6.2 miles! My son loves it and I do too! :D

    After six months back on my '75 Raleigh Super Course (which was showing it's age, just like me), I finally invested in a new bike. Missed the first week and half of February out of town, but since then I've put 223 miles on my new CAAD10 105. I've got at least one more ride in me this month so I will hopefully be able to hit 250 for the month.

    I'm just soloing it close to home, but I was able to increase my avg speed over an hour+ ride from 18 to 20 mph with the CAAD10. The 105 shifters are a dream compared to my down tube shifters. Wow. Definitely loving the new bike.

    As always, I'm blown away by the people in this forum. Talk about inspiring. Keep on riding.

    Thanks jjking54, way more bike than I need right now. I fell victim to the LBS great deal. No complaints from me though.

    I went out today and finished off those 27 miles I needed. Nice crisp afternoon ride to hit 251 miles for the month (13:12 duration). I probably need to set my goal to 250 miles each month, but I've been setting it low (150) and making it easier to hit. At least bumping it to 200 makes sense.

    SingingSingleTracker, are those miles on a mountain bike? Great job by the way on the consistency. I notice a lot of the people posting here have a routine set. I'm impressed.

    Nice bike. Mine is CAAD4. It would be great riding yours. I like to think that the truly knowledgeable appreciate my bike. Many young people who know their stuff, and most longtime riders of ultra expensive bikes like it. The new 105 exceeds the stateoftheart from yesterday. Have fun on it!
