    All right! You guys are inspiring. It's chilly out there today, but I'll try to go a couple miles anyway.

    Shooting for 350 miles this month. Hoping to get the MTB out and spruced up to hit the trails, plus some training for a local ride/race in June on top the normal daily commutes. Should hit it just fine. Stretch goal will be to beat April's total of 402...

    As of this morning am at 43.3 miles.

    I added a layer and managed to go 4 miles.

    5/1 - 4 miles
    5/2 - 4 miles - nearly bitten by little dog
    5/3 - 4 miles - on & off rain, wearing new helmet
    5/4 - 4 miles
    5/5 - 2 miles - too cold to go more
    5/6 - 4 miles



    Goal for month - 80 miles.
    MTD - 22

    Going out (and maxing out my soon-to-be-born baby's heart benefits) with a bang: 8 slow and hard miles this morning. Pretty stoked because I finished crocheting a "baby bike helmet" last night---he's going to look so cute in it and it will be a great keepsake to remember how influential cycling was on this pregnancy. Have a great time cycling in May and see you all in about a month! =)

    May Goal: ???

    I know that I've asked before, but when is that little guy due? Take care of both of you! Send picks of him in his helmet!

    I did a 9.3 mile ride this afternoon. I had my 10 year old along so it was agonizingly slow. But it was good for him to come with me so I'm hoping that I will benefit a little.

    I am scheduled for my surgical delivery in about 32 hours! I figure having done my last ride 48 hours prior to birth isn't too crazy, right? lol Thanks for the well wishes!

    Joining late but I'm in!! I rode outside today for the first time in 4+ years! Felt GREAT and I think I have fallen in love with bike riding.

    5/8: 6.6 miles.


    Goal: 100 miles?
    Chicago weather is also temper-mental, today the high is 80 but Sunday the high is 52 so hopefully the weather cooperates :)

    5/6 and 5/7: Rain in San Diego!! Very unusual.

    5/8: 20 miles.

    Total for May: 110 miles. 390 to go.

    Well after the April challenge ended I hit a bit of a slump with my workouts and have only managed to get in one ride for May so far. I think I may have burned myself out for my first challenge =(

    But I am trying to get back into it, so I will make a small goal for May 100 miles (all stationary)

    5/1- 4.6 miles (20 mins)
