    I commute to work and ride about 20 miles a day. Each ride is about 8.7 miles, but I usually tack on a few after work. I don't have any specific goals for March, but I'll make one: To complete the ride in under 40 minutes. I've done it before, but not since winter hit! For some reason, my times are always slower when it's cold.

    Love talking cycling!!!!

    i'm a year round rider, this September will be my 2nd year straight.
    I have an alternating schedule, it's complicated due to the location of where I work now.
    one week, I ride to the gym, workout, then ride to the train station. on mon, wed and fri, I do spin, then ride home
    other week, I can't go to the gym (earlier schedule), just ride to/from work.
    working out? roughly 7mi round trip, then spin approx. 16mi ea class.
    7x5=35+ 16x3= 48 - 83mi
    non gym week - 5mi round trip
    5x5=25mi
    83x2 = 166
    25x2=50
    216mi a month? woah.. I have never figured it out before... this is not including any extra rides I may go on, so as a standard I do just a bit over 200 a month.

    Yesterday, I stayed home due to a migraine headache (which I get about once a month). I found out that my wife was planning a hilly ride and I thought what the h*ll, I'll join her. The head pain was less during the ride, but came back once I got off of the bike. Nonetheless, I got some good training in.


    The Hilly Ride:
    Distance 38.3 mi
    Moving Time 3:04:52
    Avg Speed 12.4 mi/h
    Avg Watts 129 W
    Elev Gain 3,547 ft

    The ride home from lunch:

    Distance 7.6 mi
    Moving Time 33:34
    Avg Speed 13.6 mi/h
    Avg Watts 102 W
    Elev Gain 141 ft

    Tonight, I'll feeling better, but not completely well. I did do my usual Wednesday Night recovery ride however:
    Distance 21.1 mi
    Moving Time 1:45:37
    Avg Speed 12.0 mi/h
    Avg Watts 123 W
    Elev Gain 171 ft

    March total now stands at 377.8 miles which more or less equals my 2013 total for March.

    Hoo boy. I used to bike commute daily on my Electra Townie. At one point it was a 45 minute ride each way on flat flat Florida roads, and then it was just a 15 minute ride...and then around this time last year I just stopped riding daily. Bummer. For several months my bike was in storage, stuck in limbo...unavailable. Once I got it back, I was knee deep in my first real winter in 13 years.

    Well, this month I sold my car, and walked to work a few times. I even tried bicycling in the snow once, just to give a hale and hearty F-U to winter. Winter fought back, and the ride was more of a miserable pull/shove hike with a heavy bicycle over snowplow mountains.

    Well, today I rode again, on fairly clear roads (it snowed again, of course). I tell you, I haven't really experienced hills in awhile, either. I really struggled, and I walked some of the hills, but I made it there and back again in the chilly rain.

    Today: 5.2 miles, uphill both ways, in light rain/mist

    It's curious how the road manages to do that sometimes, isn't it... Sometimes 5 miles can be more impressive than a Century Ride - well done for getting out there and riding.

    I was pumping up my tire when my valve broke! I lost all the air in my back tire. To make it worse, I phoned our two sports stores and neither had the right type of tube! Luckily a friend had one I could borrow. So, last night was changing the tire night! I hadn't done it since summer and it took a while!
