    Thanks. I'm pretty sure this particular pain is from mowing my yard. I'm disabled and have pain every day but this is a different pain. Pretty sure I pulled something in my back while mowing. Mowed some more today and made it feel worse yet. Bleh. Cycling doesn't seem to cause me pain unless I do more than 5 miles or so.

    Saw this kind of late I guess. I am at 219 for the month. 2 more training rides this weekend, then an MS150 next weekend.

    Actually--if there are any fairly serious riders on here, hit me up--I have a question that has really not been my issue in the past. Thanks.

    5/22 - 14.9
    5/23 - 2.3

    Started to go out for a ride and noticed my neighbors had their trash out. So back I went to put ours out, and realized I should open those boxes filled with things I ordered so I can rid of the boxes, and then realized I needed to tidy up the kitchen - oh wait it time to go off to work. Well at least I did get a couple of miles in.

    My riding plan for the summer is to commute to work by bike as much as the weather allows and to do some longer rides on the weekends. My ride to work is 11.25 km..

    My rides so far:

    May 1 - 22.5 km
    May 3 - 41 km
    May 5 - 22.5 km
    May 6 - 22.5 km

    So far it is giving me at least 600 extra calories to play with each day and not extending my commute much more.

    May 7 -22.5 km
    May 8 - 22.5 km
    May 9 - 22.5 km

    First week of riding to work and back every day!!

    May 10 - 42.7 km
    May 11 - 49.3 km
    May 16 - 25 km
    May 17 - 44.6 km
    May 18 - 42.7 km
    May 19 - 55 km (Long weekend!)
    May 20 - 22.5 km
    May 23 - 22.5 km
