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.
16 Sat - 22.3 km ride with 557 metres of climbing
17 Sat - 26 km flatter ride along the foreshore
Sub-total: 185.3 km
23 Sat - 31.66 km ... relatively flat
24 Sun - 25.5 km with 400 metres of climbing .... hilly and chilly
Sub-total: 242.46 km (150.6 miles)
30 Sat - 5.6 km cycling (20 min)
31 Sun - 11 km cycling outside (35 min) + 45 min cycling inside
Sub-total:
Cycling: 259.06 km (160.9 miles) + 45 min cycling inside
