Well, my training plan at the start of the year said 150 miles for november (well actually 240km, but who's counting) but what the hell - Lets see if we can get to 200+ miles again this month... I've a new toy to cover the bad weather - Tacx Bushido & PC Link software (which i'm currently fighting with as it's a bit bug-ridden and horrible, but I'll get there!)

01/11/2011 - 13.17km - 13.17km total (8.18 miles) - 1094kcal - Turbo trainer session (bushido kept crashing!)
02/11/2011 - 24.29km - 37.46km total (23.28 miles) -1509kcal - 2603kcal total - normal road loop
03/11/2011 - 19.58km - 57.04km total (35.45 miles) - 1192kcal - 3795kcal total - abreviated local loop due to rainstorm

Nov: 1: 6.5 indoor miles on the trainer. I was over my calories for the day, so I did some riding.
Nov: 4. 10.25 miles of mountain riding.

Wow, today was interesting. Weather called for rain, and sure enough, it rained in the morning. I was driving back home from my physical and rain had stopped (9am). I got home, got my MTB and headed to Claremont. When I got there, the clouds were back, some wind, and I could feel the chill. 55deg. Lucky I had my new cycling jacket, the camelbak I had has a rain cover. I geared up and headed out. Rain began at about mile 3 (all 3 miles are uphill). Light at first, moderate at miles 4 -5. Top of my ride is mile 6. Coming down was COLD. Even with the jacket, gloves, and the camelbak, I was freezing. Ofcourse I was very wet when I got down, not quite soaked though. Still, fun times.

Okay,
I will join the November challenge and this month I hope to get 300+ km, last month I had slightly over 250.
A new challenge for me will be riding part way up the mountain I live on three times per week.
Yesterday I forgot my bike keys at work so I could not lock my bike up at the bottom of mountain like I usually do so I attempted to ride part way up. I did better than I thought I would (granny gear and all) but was pretty exhausted. My small mountain. 4km up a pretty steep grade is at the end of my ride, after I have already ridden over 20km so I am already kinda tired. Tomorrow is a gym day, so I will ride my bike down and over to the gym, (about 8km) then try the ride up. It will be my first time going down the mountain and it actually freaks me out more than trying to ride up. Any suggestions for keeping my speed under control going down a long steep grade?
:ohwell:

Hi

is it too late to join - only just seen this thread? I am off to a dodgy start for the month anyway. Started going to spinning classes just this week and class #1 caused me to have 2 days off the bike due to 'killed quads' :sick:

My target for Nov is 600 miles.
