Last June is going to be hard to beat. Last June, we spent 3 weeks in summertime in Canada cycling and hiking etc. etc. This June, we'll be in the depths of winter here in Tasmania.

However, I will make an attempt to get somewhere close to last June in terms of time or distance ... or both if I can manage it.

June 2 - 45 min cycling indoors on my trainer

There's a major storm coming. They've been advertising it for days now ... supposed to roll in this evening. So we set off relatively early (11 am) in order to get this ride in before the storm arrived, and yet late enough so that the frost would have melted off the roads.

It was about 10C where we live when we set off, and climbed up the Southern Outlet. That's about a 12 km climb and by the time we got to the top, we were both overheating because we had dressed for cold. I figured I'd be shedding clothes as soon as we got to the bottom of the descent.

But when we got to the bottom of the descent, it was indeed cold ... it had dropped to 8C and then down to 7C while we were riding. That was combined with a little breeze and heavy mist all the way out making it feel quite chilly. I was wishing for winter cycling boots! My toe covers weren't quite up to the job.

We turned around and fortunately the mist/drizzle stopped, and what little wind there was dropped off to practically nothing.

We had thought about stopping for lunch, but opted to just keep riding back home instead. A hot shower and coffee were calling! So we kept cycling back to Hobart and then up and over Bonnet Hill.

Our elevation profile shows one big climb at the beginning, then almost flat, and then another big climb at the end. Variety!

Happily, we did the ride within randonneuring time. Mission accomplished!

There were a number of cyclists out there today ... all bundled up and looking rather cold. So we weren't the only ones.

Hi y'all. Back into riding after many years away. I like reading (lurking) about your rides. Not setting a monthly goal but have ridden 840 miles so far this year.

I'm in again. It's the rainy season here and I don't ride in monsoon rains so I'll reduce my goal to 500 km, though I hope to get significantly more if the weather allows.

Goal for June: 1400

1st: 72.8 miles
2nd: 74.8
3rd: 22.2...needed an easy day
4th: 72 miles...mailed my bike from Wisconsin to Georgia (I own 5 bikes so it's pretty easy)...got to ride even when on vacation!
4th: 18.8 miles...second ride of the day
5th: 2 rides again: 43.3 miles and 21.5

402 miles for the week...in 20 hours...20 average...pretty good

I'm new to biking again. Currently stationed in Columbia, SC. I rode 10 mi yesterday & I'm hooked. Body feels great not painful like after a run. If there's anyone who would line a morning or weekend riding partner hit me up.
Since I'm new I'm setting my June goal of 100 mi. Any help is more than welcome.
