    You gonna buy the cool Jersey for completing the challenge?

    I want a Strava orange Jersey, but I refuse to pay $120

    Took the kayak to spring training Tuesday instead of riding my bike as the inter-coastal wasn't too choppy and I live 2 miles from the park (as the bird flies) vs. 7 by bike. Still, it didn't help my mileage so I ended up riding to the park today instead. Hope to log some miles this weekend to get back on track for my 400.

    3/2 - 50 miles
    3/3 - 20 miles
    3/6 - 15 miles
    3/8 - 15 miles
    3/9 - 15 miles
    3/13 - 15 miles

    Total: 130 miles
    Goal: 400 miles
    Remaining: 270 miles

    On my touring bicycle outside in a rural area not far from Hobart.

    High temp: 17.7C
    Wind gusting to 52 km/h (that presented a bit of a challenge)
    Just a touch of drizzle at the beginning

    Thursday 12 March -- 16.49 km in about 60 min.


    Saturday 14 March -- my birthday was last Monday. We are gradually building up our cycling distance, and weren't quite ready for a ride of the distance of my age in miles last weekend. Yeah, I'm getting old. But we were ready this weekend!!

    Today, we cycled 77.67 km (approx. 240 min), just slightly more than my age in miles.

    Our route took us to the end of the cycleway and then on to New Norfolk where we stopped for lunch, then we continued on a little bit further before we turned around and returned home.

    We had WIND gusting to 56 km/h which we battled all the way out, but fortunately, the wind didn't shift or die too much, so we had great tail wind on the way back.

    And the rain held off. The weather people predicted rain starting at noon. We got a few sprinkles here and there, but nothing much. Not even enough to put on a rain jacket. But it rained heavily after we got in!

    Another 15 miles to/from baseball today. Very happy to witness A-Rod both striking out on 3 pitches and missing a tag on a runner. Took it slow as I was recovering from an early morning 5 mile (running) race that went pretty well (set a PR, ran it at a 7:21 pace and finished 19th/430).

    3/2 - 50 miles
    3/3 - 20 miles

    Managed to convince my guest to commute with me to today's baseball game. He hadn't been on a bike in 15 years, so the pace wasn't great. Still, glad to reacquaint him with a 2 wheeler. Hoping to get in a long ride tomorrow when my guests head out for a few hours.

    Hmmm, I could care less about miles but I record them just the same. I'm more interested in intensity and trying to get more efficient since I lost a quarter of my lungs. But I am interested in losing weight so I don't have to haul as much lard over our various Colorado Mountain Passes or haul as much just going up a Mountain - like Mt. Evans. And I figure the less fat the more oxygenated blood will be available to my muscles.
