Okay. So, I did ride a long ish one, and the goal is mere 22 miles away.
If it's warm, it's done in two commutes. Should I bite a bullet?
I've rode enough in two days that I don't feel like I want to ride any tomorrow. (I want to play tennis!)

I ride a pretty awesome red Cannondale road bike, and managed to get about 940 miles in for 2013. A bike wreck and broken clavicus bone has ended my outdoor bike riding for this year!!! Please always wear a good helmet....from someone who knows...Anyways, will be using a stationary bike, elliptical, stairstepper and such at the gym and let my body heal up til spring 2014.

Switched to my big tank of a commuter bike last week. Simply being on a different bike has helped break me out of my mental rut a little bit.0 -

The usual Sunday Night Pub Crawl Ride. This picture seems a bit dreamlike to me. Not the best picture I took all night, but my favorite.

Ouch. I broke a collarbone 3 years ago. Amazing what a conversation starter the sling was when I went to the gym to ride a stationary bike. Heal fast and heal well.
I echo your message to wear a helmet. A "good" helmet is one that fits well and you wear correctly. All helmets sold in the US pass the same tests.0 -
Total distance this month is about 356 miles including a 106 mile ride on Oct 5. I've started training for Bike Sebring 12-hour race on Feb 15 in Sebring, Florida. It will be a huge challenge for me … about double the time I've ridden in a single session to date.
I post details of my workouts on my Facebook page. I need all the encouragement I can get so I'll ask that you "Like" my page: www.facebook.com/cycling2live. Ask questions and post your experiences.
Thanks!!!0 -

Same here. As of about a half hour ago, I'm up to 354 miles for the month.

It was such a good ride that I didn't feel like pausing to take any pictures. So I took one when I got home.

Yeah, you can't always ride 500 miles, Phyllida. I did it in September, no way will I get there this month.0
-
Too true but I'm keeping the goal there to see if I get there again sometime before the summer months come again! Although should take advantage of the brighter mornings now and pick up on some speed, as it wont last before it's dark again in the mornings!Yeah, you can't always ride 500 miles, Phyllida. I did it in September, no way will I get there this month.0 -
I wore a Nike band for my ears last year, havent had to use it yet this year but it definitely made a difference, nothing worse than cold ears, fingers and/or feet. All three is just plain miserable. Thinking about getting some of those shoe covers, look a bit weird but well worth I think...Pretty sure my biggest issue with the cold weather will be my ears. Any suggestions? Can't wear much under my helmet because it barely fits already (it's adjustable and I can't adjust it any bigger).0 -
