April 2015 Bike Bicycle Cycling Challenge

Late to this thread, but here's my April total so far.

4/8 - 12 miles, 46 min
4/10 - 12 miles, 45 min
4/12 - 12.3 miles, 45 min
4/15 - 28.9 miles, 1 hour 51 min

April Total: 65.2 miles, 4 hours 7 min

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
4/13 - 16 miles @17.5mph with 700' climbing. Felt okay/normal at start of ride.
4/14 - 16 miles @17mph with 700' climbing. Had some carbs (powerbar gel) for first time in a month - felt 'normal' at start of ride and after a 2nd gel energetic (first time in a month) by the end!
4/15 - 16 miles @17.2mph with 700' climbing - 80% effort and no carbs. Finally felt 'normal' so Keto might work for me after all. Going to do a longer (2hr) ride this weekend to test my 'anti-bonk' diet.

4/16 - 44.5 miles @16.9mph with 2,200' - 45min break between rides for a snack then went on 2nd ride of the morning. Left with middle group (16-16.5 av) but dropped them.
Did both rides with no carbs and 2nd ride with only 150 calories worth of nuts. (testing 'anti-bonk' keto diet). Was low energy for last hour but did better then I expected.


Total miles: 250.5 miles
April goal: 300 miles

April climbing: 7,900'

30.1 miles, 1308 feet yesterday. New PRs on a couple climbs I hadn't attempted recently!
194.5/350
Not going to hit my goal this month-forgot to factor in the week of vacation coming up that means virtually no riding!

** That's my longest ride since last November.

Saturday 18 April -- 92.32 km
Sunday 19 April -- 19.05 km

Sub-Total: 309.9 km (192.56 miles)

And again, Saturday's ride was my longest ride since last November.

It was a tough one that included hills, wind, more wind, continued wind, a sudden weather change from reasonably warm to freezing cold and rainy ... the wind swung around to be a full-on headwind just then ... and because I had twisted my ankle shortly before the ride, it was giving me some trouble the hill/wind combos where I was really pushing.

Sunday's ride was a walk-in-the-park by comparison.

Great scenery both days.
