April 2015 Bike Bicycle Cycling Challenge

I have been doing some spinning this winter but April will kick off my REAL biking. Still have cold weather and snow on the ground though so hoping things warm up soon.

4/01 - 1hr spin - 16 miles
4/02 - 1.25hr spin - 20 miles
4/03 - 16 miles @ 16.3mph 700' climbing --- First outside ride of the year!
4/05 - 32 miles @ 15.7mph 1,500' climbing --- Took way more effort then it should have. Have a lot further to get back in shape then i thought.
4/06 - 16 miles @ 17mph 700' climbing --- felt a bit better, upgraded to between ok/tired at start of ride instead of tired/week.
4/07 - 30min spin - 8miles
4/08 - 1hr spin - 16miles
4/09 - 45min spin - 12 miles

Total miles: 136 miles
April goal: 300 miles

Lawdhammercy... what a crappy, rainy spring break this has been. Very thankful for the trainer purchase a few months ago. It's been invaluable this week.

Good for you!

It is next to impossible for me to make myself get on a trainer

Man, we had thunderstorms for the last few days and I have been slacking off this week! Today I managed to get in some hill repeats after work. Going up, I'm okay with, oddly enough, it's coming back down that's the problem. Getting better aka less twitchy and nervous, though!

4/10. 23.5 miles, 1041 feet of climbing.

66.3 miles down.
