I wish I had found this earlier in March. I'm learning all I can right now about road cycling, and so far love it. Please tell me there will be an April edition!

3/20 - 30.5 miles, 94 mins
3/21 - 15.7 miles, 48 mins
3/22 - 21 miles, 62 mins
3/24 - 40.5 miles, 131 mins
3/29 - 22.4 miles, 68 mins
3/31 - 22.4 miles, 67 mins

MTD (and final tally) - 400 miles

In the the 6 months that I've been on a road, this is my best month. Most total miles, fastest rate over an hour and my fast top speed. I generally don't try to kill myself, but just push pretty hard the entire time. Increase mileage and rates really are just my own way to see that I'm making some progress. It's pretty exciting for me!

Quite a variety of riders on this thread. Although there are several which have some truly amazing miles total (seriously amazing), there are also a some riders that don't have a huge total miles yet are equally inspiring! I noticed some strong finishes as well. I hope that it's been an awesome month of riding for everyone! Warmer months are upon us, so lets make to tracks.
