    Beginning of February and the end of February

    2em3pec.jpg

    Slow end to a slow month. BUT, it's infinitely more miles than before I started cycling and before I kept biking through the winter.

    Feb 3 - 9.5 miles
    Feb 5 - 15 miles
    Feb 10 - 15 miles
    Feb 16 - 15 miles
    Feb 18 - 15 miles
    Feb 23 - 17 miles

    Feb 24 - 15 miles
    Feb 27 - 16.6 miles - 55 degrees. Road bike. In February. In Minnesota. This must be what heaven feels like. Dear God I love my road bike.
    Feb 29th - And now this must be what hell feels like. My blissful Saturday ride was apparently too fast and too much for my poor quads, which are screaming at me, and made a million time worse by a ride straight into a 25 mph headwind on the way to work. I gave up after 2 miles and got on the train for the rest of the way to work. Planning to bike home though. 9 miles.

    On to March! If the good weather holds and we don't end up with another 3 feet of snow, maybe I can get 250 miles for the month or more. If I can start to take the long route to work, my daily totals double, making it so much easier to rack up the miles.

    Monthly total - 127.1 miles
    Yearly total - 305.6

    @UmmSqueaky Fellow Minnesotan here -- I feel your pain about today. I got one mile out when the front was picking up. I had a few glimpses of the 40mph gusts that were rolling through my area and decided to turn around. Fatbikes are great for many things but they are not terribly good with strong winds.

    Great month everyone. Winter months are hard to get time in, but you all have amazed me, and prompted me to do more this month. Thanks.

    Hi! So new to cycling.. less than 100 miles under my belt (got my road bike in fall). Yet, I'm doing RAGBRAI in July :o And my boyfriend tells me it's probably the hilliest in a very long time. Looking for cycling friends, challenges, tips and encouragement! Is there a group?
