    Hi! I just found this thread. I started biking again in April since the ice and snow is gone. :happy:

    So far in May:

    5/1 - 11 miles
    5/8 - 12 miles
    5/10 - 12 miles

    I hope to set a goal sometime this week. It all boils down to what the weather is. I have a nice park with a great trail to ride on. Lots of hills to climb and coast. Glad to see you all here. Keep up the good work! :smile:

    Today I did as difficult a ride as I have ever done. 49 miles, with temperatures reaching 95+. Stupid and proud. 182 miles done, 318 miles to go.

    205 Miles. 295 to go. Don't think I'll make it, but I'm still gonna try.

    "It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle." ~Ernest Hemingway

    Aiming at 300 outdoor miles for May, my first month back on the road after 5 years (London is a bit scary riding at times)...plus 3-4 spin sessions a week, and 2 runs (one short one longish)...

    so far am at 129 miles, so nearly on target!

    244 miles done. 256 more miles to reach my goal.

    Stopped by a "Pit Stop" this morning, set up for Bike To Work Day. I passed on the coffee and Cliff Bars. Maybe this afternoon I'll take them up on it. And grab a t-shirt, though since I do it every day I'm not really the target audience.

    My sister AND 91-year-old dad are mentioned in an article today about riding a bike trail in Chesapeake, Virginia. I remember my dad teaching me to ride my first bike, now over 50 years ago. With memories like that, how can one dispair?
