    I did my first bike ride of the season today! It was warm and so beautiful after I got home from work.

    I think my challenge will be to get on that nice road bike of mine most evenings after work and ride for an hour. Exceptions to that will be made for days when I need to weight train, and for lovely evenings when I need to get some gardening done.

    Last year I hardly cycled at all, and I absolutely love it, so I'm going to be out on the roads a lot this year!

    April 6 -12.7 miles on trainer

    In!

    I track my calories in MFP, but the actual mileage in Trainingpeaks. 1500 km give or take (900 mi), so far, in April.

    Aiming to do on more race next week, and about 1000 km more before April is done. Finally getting some warm weather here!

    My goal this month was to reach 200 miles. I am at 173 miles right now. I just joined my first challenge last month and exceeded my first goal of 75 miles. So this month I thought I went big with 200 miles and weather permitting, I hope to exceed that also. I am doing my very first Ride in July. It is a fund raiser ride for ALS and really means a lot to me. I signed up for the 50 mile ride and I know that will be a good first ride for me. The reason it is so close to my heart is that my grandma who raised me for the first 5 years of my life died from ALS in 1981.
