Don't know if I'll be able to get one more ride in today to help my month total or not. The weather forecast for this afternoon is not good. Thunderstorms with the possibility of some being severe, heavy rain, hail, and tornados.
There are three types of lightning.
Cloud -> Cloud
Cloud -> Ground
Cloud -> Head
It is the third type that I wish to avoid.

Heya, long time no see. Totally wiffed it on the winter biking this year. I procrastinated getting my studded tires on my winter bike, and then we got slammed with crazy ice coating everything and I didn't really feel like bike commuting on an ice rink. February has brought some crazy weather for Minnesota - highs in the 60s have melted all of the snow and ice, so I'm back out on the road. And oh boy did I miss it. I am bleepin miserable when I don't bike. Winter weight gain isn't as bad as last year, when I hit 140. I'm still at 138 though, so gotta buckle down on the food and exercise. I'm planning to sign up for an indoor triathlon at my gym in March and April, and I've already got a 5k scheduled on March 18th and a 10k on April 29th. Still playing with the idea of an Olympic length triathlon in July, but we'll see how the 10k goes before dumping money on that.
2/11 - 10 miles

I rather blew my goals for Feb. 294 miles, and I was aiming for 325. Between SAD and the shorter month, I just couldn't get myself on the bike with the regularity I needed. 3 more rides, at most, and I'd have made it. Ah well, just going to have to make up for it next month!1

@twenaj You've only got the rollers for Christmas and you are already riding such long distances on them? That's impressive! I bought mine a few weeks ago, but I still find riding on them really hard. No chance to coast for a few seconds to take a breath, and as soon as my concentration wavers for a moment, I ride off the sides. I can't even imagine 40 miles on them!
@Elise4270 Awesome that the new pedals work for you! I guess I'll read you a lot in the March tread then
@tristramtrent 40 miles would be a long ride for me too! There's a cycling event on the 21st May that I'm thinking about, where the shortest ride is 60km. I've never done a ride that long, and I'm not sure I have the time to train for it since there's a running race two weeks earlier that's more important to me. My longest single ride this year was a little over 20km. But if you already rode 38km this month, I'm sure you will be ready for the 40mi ride!
It was quite stormy yesterday, but since I was missing one final commute to reach my goal, I braved the weather. There was even a bit of lightning - fortunately only type 1 from @tcaley4 's list
So for a change, I actually made my goal in this challenge!

@nikkiwolf, sorry I have mislead haven't I? My friend called them rollers and it's sort of stuck with me, until now after your comments.
I have just googled rollers, yes they are slightly different aren't they? I couldn't imagine doing a mile on it let alone 40 without falling off and breaking my neck, so hats off to you if your able to ride on that. I apologise for misleading, what I have is a turbo trainer, I think that's the correct term for it. Cheers Jon.0
