Yesterday was the Nut Roll. This was my first organized ride ever. It was awesome, except for the pouring rain the ENTIRE TIME!!! Haha.
It wasn't so bad, a friend rode with me and we chatted the whole time.

Sounds like a fun ride in the rain! Good job!



I'm barely at goal pace, and with some extra work load coming up I really need to start logging more miles soon or I'll be behind the curve.

My goal was 200 miles, and as of today I'm only at 102 on the bike.

Spring has sprung ... or so they tell us. But hopefully with the longer daylight hours and potentially warming temps I might be able to get out there and ride more!!

I'd like to be up and over 200 km cycling outside ... plus I'll probably end up doing a bit inside as well.

Saturday 5 September -- 16 km (50 min) ... outside!

A bit breezy but otherwise not too bad.

Friday 11 September -- 35 minutes on the trainer!!

Better than nothing.

Had to cut my Saturday ride short because of other commitments, and I went out to the garage to load up the bike, had a flat tire on the bike, and had to replace the tube. So that cut into my ride time as well. Was hoping to do 45 miles, only got to do 32. Which is really a bummer because it was a beautiful, sunny, bright blue sky day. :-(

My goal to cycle 1,000 km in 90 days may be lost already after just shy of 211 km. Broke my rear axle on a trail ride last night and had to walk it 10 km home. Got other wheels laying around, just not sure if they are the right size.

For the week I am at 85.28 km, which is above by 77km a week goal, so as long as I get my ride fixed soon I may still meet my overall goal.

Good luck on a quick repair.

Goal: 6 spin classes in the month and as much outdoor riding (mostly commuting/errands) as possible.

Since last update

• 9/10: spin class
• 9/14: 3-mile ride at kid pace (but she braved the double-roundabouts like a champ!)

Totals as of 9/14

• 3 spin classes
• 6 rides for 22.8 miles total

At least 3 "errands" rides in my future this week, assuming the weather cooperates.

Does a stationary bike count? I ride that during the week and try to hit the road with my road bike on the weekends, weather permitting. Doing 72 miles over two days I less than a month the the MS Ride.

146 km biked halfway through the challenge of 300 km.

I might encounter some issues though as it's getting too dark to bike back home after my boxing class...

I'm counting spin class. (Since my gym's bikes don't have any "computer" features, I'm just counting number of classes I make - goal is 6.)
