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.

March Cycling: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
April Cycling: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
~~~~~~~~~~
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!
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.

Nicer weather in the UK this week, so I'll go back to extending the commute home a bit. Only gives me a few extra miles, but it all helps0

Hey All,
I do a lunch ride from work and last Friday there was a new baby goat "BAH"ing at me as I drove by. I told my kids and my daughter asked me I said, "What'dYouSay?" back to the goat. There was a commercial before a movie where there was a scape goat and the goat bahs and a person on the production line throws down their gloves and says the "What'dYouSay?" line.
The goat was cute, bounding next to me along the fence, "Bah", "Bah", "Bah".
The roses were in bloom as well. Roses and goats at the top of the rise.
Just keep pedaling.0 -
I am not a not a monster cyclist like many of you here. I just took my bike off the wall on May 6 and my riding is pretty rusty. I will shoot for 250 km this month. So far I've ridden 60.0

10 miles via an expresso bike at the gym (230 watts in zone 2 - yay!) and a quick ride to the bike shop to drop off my city commuter for a much needed tune up. Returning to the hot south tonight (doing the snowbird thing), and will get in a few long flat rides the next few days to try to get back on track for the month.

Update from yesterday:
Added 20 km of varied terrain with 10+ load on my rear rack. Lots of exploring new places, ended up updating Google Maps because of unmarked trails.
Decided to drive to work today because my legs need some recovery after that afternoon ride.0 -
