    Distances include cycling + walking
    March: 489.8 km (304.3 miles) = 38 hours 4 min
    April: 491.94 km (305.6 miles) = 43 hours 6 min
    May: 361.81 km (224.8 miles) = 35 hours 50 min
    June: 569.53 km (353.9 miles) = 41 hours 53 min
    July: 230.7 km (143.35 miles) = 32 hours 45 min
    Aug: 211.3 km (131.3 miles) = 28 hours 8 min
    Sep: 306.7 km (190.6 miles) = 35 hour 2 min
    Oct: 441.82 km (274.5 miles) = 47 hours 43 min
    Nov: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
    Dec: 499.91 km (282.8 miles) = 54 hours 56 min
    Jan: 864.79 km (537.35 miles) = 65 hours 36 min
    Feb: 470.53 km (292.4 miles) = 40 hours 39 min
    March: 917.73 km (570.2 miles) = 66 hours 13 min

    April probably won't be as ambitious as March was because I have three major uni assignments due before the middle of the month and won't be as active. But if I could do what I did last April, that would be nice. :)

    I'm a bit behind where I wanted to be ... behind last April ... but this month has been hectic! I've hardly had a second to think let alone cycle or walk. Plus, my husband had an accident at work and cracked his ribs, so he hasn't been able to get out as much either.

    Yesterday was a rather dreary day in Minneapolis. Losing Prince is like getting all the fresh air sucked out of your lungs. He was often spotting tooling around Paisley Park on his bike, even just a few days ago. I biked over to First Ave after work to pay my respects, and got a flat tire. Dug around in my bag for my patch kit, but it started to sprinkle, so I hightailed it over to the downtown bike shop to get in changed inside instead. Shortly thereafter, the heavens opened and down the rain poured. And poured. And poured. Not quite purple rain, but fitting.

    After the rain let up, the sun came out and the grass was so green. A rainbow appeared over Paisley Park. Life will continue, although now a little less purple and fabulous now without our Prince.

    The appearing rainbow was seen on the TV news I was watching and I too thought how cool was that. Yep Prince was quite unique and will be missed. Sorry to hear about the flat but glad you got out of the rain storm and had it fixed.

    Are these pictures of the route you took? How lovely to ride by all these beautiful landmarks. You bikes for over 6 hours? WOW that is impressive!

    April Total so far 72.
    Goal for April 75. Looks like I may have to set a new goal after today's ride. It is raining this morning so will bike in the afternoon.
    FYI
    This is ssbeadlady. I have 2 accounts on this site and keep forgetting which account I am in. The reason for the 2 accounts is that I started one back in 2006 and had posted for many years and then stopped. When I started back up I had forgotten what the old account was so I started a new account. Then months later I found the paper I had written the old account information on so I started to use it again. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused but ssflbelle and ssbeadlady are the same person who is biking on a tricycle.

    Sadly no ride to work for me today (just above freezing and pouring when i would have left, some days transit really is the better way. I'll hop off and walk 7 or so KM on the way home (and if it's better I'll get a quick ride to little India to pick up some Tea and spices)

    Got up to an average 12 mph last summer, am hoping to get up to 15 on average this year!! That sounds crazy to me, but when I started last year I was way out of shape & I came a long way. This year I'm out of shape again, but not nearly as bad, &I'm already back up to 10mph. I know I can do it!

    You can do it. Make gradual changes with just a little more effort and increasing your distance. As you add distance, your stamina will increase and your speed will follow. Also, make sure the pressure in your tires is correct. If they are a little bit too soft, that can slow you down.

    4/27 - 23 miles - fingers crossed I don't get rained on on the way home. Alas, the weather app says it's going to be windy. Again. April has been a windy month and I'm soooo over it. But, it could be worse, could be snowing, so I suppose it's not too bad.

    I have the same problem here in Arkansas. I love the spring winds, until I get on my bike. Then I hate them. :)

    But come July or August, it becomes very still and hot and humid, and then I kind of wish the winds would come back.

    Went into pre-marathon taper mode over the past week, so I've been mostly off the bike and using swimming as my cross training forms of exercise. Still, I ended up joining my tri-team's retired crew for their mid-Wednesday ride this morning, as we were pacelining at a more reasonable 22-24 mph range along some nice flat Florida roadside trails. Looks like I'll be missing my monthly target (as another 148 miles is feasible, but not advisable going into Sunday's marathon), but I'll see what I can make up in May.

    4/1 - 28 miles
    4/4 - 18 miles
    4/5 - 29 miles
    4/6 - 51 miles
    4/10 - 56 miles (Ironman Florida 70.3 - 2:39 bike split, 5:07 total time)
    4/13 - 25 miles
    4/14 - 15 miles
    4/15 - 13 miles
    4/16 - 13 miles
    4/17 - 11 miles
    4/18 - 29 miles
    4/20 - 4 miles
    4/26 - 26 miles
    4/27 - 33 miles

    Total: 352 miles
    Goal: 500 miles
    Remaining: 148 miles

    True dat! Too bad we can't bottle it up for when it would actually do some good.

    61.5 miles so far this month - not much compared to some of the folks in the challenge but it's my first ever month of cycling! Very excited to be doing it !
    Off to my den now for a bit more on the stationary bike...snow and wind here this week , but maybe tomorrow I'll brave it, especially as I just bought a high visibility fleece to ride in. Safety first, eh?

    4/28 - 10 miles - yup, got rained on on the way home yesterday and surprisingly it wasn't too bad. It was a light to moderate rain, in the 50s, but I ended up drenched at the end. So drenched that my tights, socks and shoes weren't dry yet this morning. And, it's raining again now, so I biked to the train station and took the train in to work. I figure I can bike home in the rain, but it would be rather miserable to bike to work in the rain and then have to put on damp clothes for the ride home. Doesn't look like I'll make 600 miles this month, but a pretty darn good showing for #30daysofbiking.

    Month to date: 530 miles
    Year to date: 1096 miles

    I'm a bit behind where I wanted to be ... behind last April ... but this month has been hectic! I've hardly had a second to think let alone cycle or walk. Plus, my husband had an accident at work and cracked his ribs, so he hasn't been able to get out as much either.

    Got in an extra 16 miles on my fixie as I hadn't done much riding on it, but needed to replace a flat and pick up a replacement tube. Definitely much slower when dealing with winds but fun to ride nevertheless.

    4/5 - 29 miles
    4/6 - 51 miles

    Late in this month, but I'll try for 400km.

    1st Apr: 12 km
    9th Apr: 22.45 km
    10th Apr: 23.54 km
    11th Apr: 23.85 km
    13th Apr: 30.35 km
    15th Apr: 30.36 km
    16th Apr: 30.93 km
    17th Apr: 25.23 km
    18th Apr: 18 km
    19th Apr: 30.33 km
    20th Apr: 31.92 km
    21st Apr: 9.96 km
    22nd Apr: 30.34 km
    23rd Apr: 38.98 km
    24th Apr: 31.47 km
    25th Apr: 30.04 km
    27th Apr: 39.95 km
    28th Apr: 31.43 km
    29th Apr: 39.89 km. there was the most beautiful sunrise this morning. As I did the 6km stretch alongside Changi runway I watched the sky go from purple streaked with pink, through an amazing array of reds and oranges and ending with a beautiful soft azure sky with grey and white streaked clouds. I'd have loved to get photos, but the camera on the phone could never have captured the colours. Screwed up my speed on this stretch, but definitely worth it. Makes getting up at 4:30 every morning much easier when you see things like this.
