October Cycling Challenge

CricketKate

I'm so glad to see all of you meeting your goals. I'm going to end up very short of mine since I haven't been on my bike in 2 weeks. My children have been sick, my husband has been out of town, we got our first snow. Lame excuses, I know. But I don't know how I could have worked around any of them. I'm hoping to get back out tomorrow.

I usually ride about 10k every evening on my stationary bike just to keep my legs supple after my ride out on the roads but I never add them to my total, I could not ride today due to hospital appointments so I just did 50k on it and it just is not the same as a being out in the fresh air spitting out bugs and dodging traffic !!!

Back to spitting out bugs this morning with a nice 22 mile ride mainly on the roads but a few miles of dirt trail

Those are lots of challenges! My kids are older now so I do not have that struggle. Snow on the other hand is a big one. I have winter biking clothes and usually take my mountain bike when its cold but snow will usually keep me inside.

Well, I totally blew October! The stars were aligned against me (or at least my family was).

Here is a link to the new thread. Please come on over.

I rode an additional 86.4 miles to finish off the month. I will have to shoot for 400 for November. I'm sure it's possible if I ride on the days that I don't bike to work.
