    Excellent. My neighborohood would be considered interval riding as it's full of pretty steep hills. I average 7 miles in 40 minutes and believe me, it's a tough 40min.

    I can't remember everything since this the beginning of the month but I'll post what I do recall.

    June 4th - 14 Miles (7 miles 2x a day)
    June 5th - 7 Miles
    June 6th - 7 Miles

    Total: 28 Miles

    Way to go. But be careful, cycling is worst than Crack. you start with a goal of 40 mile and before long you will be doing 100+ miles a week. I know because thats what happen to me 5 years ago.

    So again great start and keep on pedaling!

    As hot as it was last night even at 8:30pm I still went out riding. I just made sure I have a water bottle filled with ice (believe me, it melted quick). I was able to accomplish my usual route with only a few moments of fatigue. I really think my neighborhood is perfect HIIT because it's very up & down. There are few parts that really kick your butt with also a few moments of recovery. It's just enough to put you at the brink of total exhaustion before you get some relief. I love it.

    June 4th - 14 Miles (7 miles 2x a day)
    June 5th - 7 Miles
    June 6th - 7 Miles
    June 8th - 7 Miles

    Total: 35 Miles

    I think next week, if we can catch some cool-er temps, I will expand my course a bit. I would like to make my course 10+ miles. Lot's of neighborhoods close by, I just wanna stay off the main roads cuz I usually ride at dusk or shortly after.
