    5/1 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles
    5/2 - 100.5miles @17mph with 4,600' climbing. First century of the season!!! I rode it solo in 5hr 56min moving and 6hr 34min total time. It was my fastest century ever by more then 1mph avg ! (It helped it was also my flattest century ever).
    5/3 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles.
    5/4 - 31 miles @17mph w/ 1,450' climbing
    5/5 - 24.5 miles @16.1mph w/1,300' climbing
    5/6 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles
    5/7 - 28miles @15.5mph with 2,200' climbing. Went looking for some hills!
    5/8 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles
    5/9 - 63miles @17.4mph with 2,800' climbing. Pace ride.
    5/10 - 106miles @15.4 w/6,350' climbing. 'Icecream Century' - mile 58 stopped at darry farm with yummy real homemade Icecream. Legs were tired from Saturday's ride so took it slow.
    5/11 - 21miles @14.6mph w/1,000 climbing. SLOW recovery ride. It was still too hot out though. Summer has arrived in full force!
    5/12 - 31miles @17.7mph w/ 1,350' climbing. Attempt at speed.
    5/13 - 1/4hr spin - 4 miles
    5/14 - 31 miles @15mph w/2,400' climbing. Hill repeats.
    5/15 - 31.5 miles @16.6mph w/1,450' climbing.
    5/16 - 62.5 miles @16.2mph w/2,800' climbing. Wore the skin off one of my sits bones... going to have to reduce mileage for a little while.
    5/17 - 111 miles @15.3mph w/6,600' climbing. Nearly same route as last Sunday (including ice cream stop) but with a hill repeat in the middle. Reduced mileage starting tomorrow!
    5/19 - 31 miles @16.7mph w/1,400' climbing. Started ride feeling sore and stiff - at mile 10 (and top of the main hill) my average was only 13.5mph but I got a 2nd wind and picked up the pace!
    5/21 - 31 miles @17.3mph w/1,450' climbing. Somehow I managed to have a headwind the entire loop.


    May biking miles: 703
    May goal: 600 miles --- reached 5/17
    Looks like I made my monthly goal a LOT early! MFP Giro d'Italia challenge has inspired me to pour on the miles!

    New May goal: 1,000 miles (which would also be a personal best by 160 miles)

    May climbing: 37,600'
    May spinning miles:18

    @steffenson - I think I may need to send a few of my monthly miles your way. Not sure that would count though. Still, 3 centuries + 2 metric ones (along with a bunch of shorter rides) is definitely a good way to crank up the total.

    Thanks for the thought! I think the new 1,000 mile goal is still possible for me to achieve (if my sits bones hold up) as there are still two weekends left to get a couple more century rides in. It would be kind of a fun number to hit!

    Ended up splitting my mileage today between the expresso machine, and my commute to/from baseball. I'm not really sure what to make of the expresso, as it doesn't let you freeroll/coast (especially downhill), it also punishes you for higher cadences, but the VR worlds are nice and the online tracker/leaderboards are good motivation as well.

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

    5/13 - 17 miles
    5/15 - 42 miles
    5/16 - 14 miles
    5/17 - 30 miles @ 18 mph
    5/18 - 3 miles (just picking up the bike from the shop)
    5/19 - 12 miles
    5/20 - 12 miles
    5/22 - 25 miles

    Goal: 500 miles
