    Another sweaty ride to/from the ballpark tonight. Team lost, and it was 90 degrees for my ride to the park today (in Pittsburgh in May? seriously?) so I'll hold off on wearing a player jersey as a 2nd layer for tomorrow's ride.

    5/5 - 16 miles
    5/6 - 12 miles
    5/7 - 12 miles
    5/8 - 12 miles

    Goal: 500 miles
    Total: 52 miles
    Remaining: 448 miles

    Just did 20 today, as I ended up hiking in the AM, and running the afternoon. I'll do a longer ride once I get back to the south and my lighter road bike on Monday, as my city commuter here up north is in need of some serious truing and a tuneup.

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    Darkness is falling by about 5:30 pm now and the days are becoming chilly. Yep ... winter is setting in.

    Nevertheless, I have already blown past my km total for May last year! :smiley: So here's hoping for decent weekends this month so that I can keep it up.

    My goal this month isn't distance ... although that's always part of it ... instead my goal is to get out there at least once each weekend (except the last weekend of May) and do a climbing ride. I live in a very hilly area right now which presents me with a huge challenge because I am a flatlander. I'm not a mountain goat like the rest of the people around here. So now that I'm getting lighter, this month, my plan is to work on climbing.

    Let's get started ...

    May ...

    02 Sat - 37.43 km with 612 metres of climbing
    03 Sun - 30.04 km with ... next to 0 metres of climbing (relatively flat recovery ride)

    09 Sat - 27.5 km ... with next to 0 metres of climbing
    10 Sun - 41.03 km ... with 764 metres of climbing

    Sub-total: 137 km


    Getting chilly down here ... we've had a blast of winter this past week, and today's ride was quite frosty at times.
