Well I made it. 3,000 miles in 18 months (13 months of actual riding with 5 winter months off). With the 2 major setbacks (bike frame crack & a terrible bike accident-unrelated) I was worried I wouldn't reach my goal this year but I did, yesterday.

Congrats

MTD: 257 miles cycling

Nice, more than halfway done; hope the weather holds up.

Cold, wet, windy weather kept me grounded this week. I ventured out today (cold and wet, no wind ) and rode for 10.2miles.

MTD >> 60/100 for November

Nov 1 - 24 miles
Nov 2 - 20 miles
Nov 8 - 38 miles
Nov 16 - 40 miles

Trying to double up miles on the weekends when I can only ride one day. I feel it. Think I better take tomorrow off from running.
Love my bike! Wish I could ride more during the week.

Nov-2 8 miles
Nov-8 12 miles
Nov-9 13 miles
Nov-11 13 miles
Nov-16 13 miles

The wind is brutal out there right now.

November Goals: Fall Singletrack Riding/Base Building/Off-Season Weight Lifting

I just started back at the gym, with the idea of getting into shape for riding again. I'm really excited about it. Have got my bikes looking good, got new shoes just need my 40 year old legs back.
I am doing the stationary bike, for 1/2 hour before strength training, and I can see a steady improvement in my calories burned, level and miles but no where near what you are riding.
I also did my first spin class this week, I was proud that I made 45minutes although I couldn't keep the pace. I have another spin class tonight so now I know what to expect.
Hopefully I can do a challenge soon.

The new (to me) bike was shipped out west (to specialized) last week as there was a safety recall on it. As a result, I've been bikeless for a week and a half. I guess that given I'm running 44 miles this week (as part of my marathon training plan), and it is getting pretty cold, I shouldn't complain too much. Still, I almost feel like a piece of me is missing without my bike.

With time up north for Thanksgiving, I'll need to bring my bike along to hit my 400 mile target, but I suspect putting another 274 miles on the bike is feasible if the bike gets back from specialized in the next day or two. Either that, or I'll try a Key Largo-Key West RT trip at the end of the month to rack up another 200 miles.
