November 2017 Biking Cycling Bicycling Challenge!

So I've totally stunk at keeping up with this thread. The weather took a turn here and we got snow and some bitter cold. They canceled the group night rides the last couple of weeks so I haven't been out since the 28th of October when we had a crazy warm spell. It was 80 on the 28th and 20 a week later.
I need to buy a trainer and get some new tires on my old bike but in the meantime I've been working out with a personal trainer for something different.
I don't have a goal for November but will try and keep up with everyone who is able to ride.
Fun pic for our last nice ride of the season. We saw a freakin' moose! It was crazy! This was as close as I wanted to get. We made a slightly different turn than we normally do at that spot luckily or we would have run right into him!

11/2 - 28 miles
11/3 - 8 miles
11/6 - 17 miles
11/7 - 18 miles
11/8 - 23 miles
11/9 - 17 miles. First really cold day biking into a headwind this morning (20-ish degrees actual temp, felt like 5 degrees with the windchill). Still pretty windy out, but I'm hoping it keeps the same direction so it's at my back for the ride home. Definitely need to improve the windproofness of my bottom half. No significant snow as of yet, so I'm continuing to ride my new Waterford. Need to dig out my winter bike and make sure it still works. Debating whether to switch it from slicks to nobby tires or just wait and go straight to the studded.

Mixture of outdoor rides and indoor training on the Wattbike.
Doing a series of 20 minute FTP tests to measure a fitness baseline, planning on donating blood next week so will be interesting to see the impact of that and how long any impact lasts.
211, 217 and 208 watts recently so fairly consistent.

Hi all new to MFP,
Love being out on my bike but real life keeps getting in the way.... (and lazyness)
just looking to being out on the bike as much as possible.

Hoping to get a turbo trainer for the dark winter months
Michael

11/13 - 8 miles - got waylayed by a cold last Friday so took a few days off from riding when the temps were in the 20s. Misplaced my bike locker key card yesterday morning so I missed riding to work in really nice fall weather (upper 30s/lower 40s), but did manage to bike to a restaurant in the evening. The ride home was pretty amazing - it's a route I've taken hundreds of times but there was something about the temperature and the dark and the solitude (didn't pass any other bikes) that put me in a really good mental place.

October went better than anticipated ... hoping for a good November too! Roughly the same distance/hours as in previous years ... or more. I am finished university for a couple months, so hopefully I will have more time to be active.
Nov 2015: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
Nov 2016: 403 km (250.4 miles) = 52 hours 16 min
Nov 1 - 7 km walking (85 min) + 16 flights of stairs (12 min) ... that's 16 flights of 20 steps, up and down and including a few steps on each landing.
Nov 2 - 1.4 km walking (17 min) ... mad studying for exam
Nov 3 - 6.7 km walking (80 min) + 8 flights of stairs (6 min) ... lots of walking to university for exam, between university and work, out to the grocery store to get lunch, and out to dinner later in the day.
Nov 4 - 7.9 km running (mostly) and walking (65 min) + 1.6 km rowing (10 min) ... I don't run often but I got into the zone!
Nov 5 - 12.6 km hiking (155 min) ... beautiful local hike!! Some photos below ...
Nov 6 - 2.6 km walking (30 min) + 10 flights of stairs (8 min)
Dental appointment Monday after work ... worst extraction I've ever had. Not the fault of this dentist - she was good. Fault of previous dentist and ... tooth root embedded in jaw bone + bad infection surrounding tooth. Had to cut my gum open and dig out the bone. Couldn't freeze me enough.
I am on cold liquids (ice cream, yogurt, Ensure) and not supposed to exercise for a couple days. She said not even walking but I did need to walk a little bit today (Nov 7).
Nov 7 - 0.7 km walking (8 min)
I'm back! That dental surgery really put a dent in my plans. I spent so much time sleeping on Nov 7, 8, and 9
Nov 8 - 1.6 km walking (20 min)
Nov 9 - 2.3 km walking (28 min)
Nov 10 - 4.2 km walking (52 min) + 12 flights of stairs (9 min)
Nov 11 - 5.5 km walking (68 min) + 13.9 km cycling (43 min)
The walking was between Open Homes in Hobart. Each year we're given the opportunity to explore buildings that we don't normally have access to. This has been going on for several years, and each year we pick a few places that we'd like to see. It's quite interesting!
The cycling was a test ride to see whether or not my jaw would hold up to the joins in the pavement on the Cycleway and other bumps. It did all right.
Nov 12 - 1.7 km walking (21 min) + 20.6 km cycling (65 min)
Nov 13 - 7.9 km walking (98 min) + 14 flights of stairs (11 min)
Nov 14 - 7.2 km walking (90 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min) ... part of this was a lovely walk to the Botanical Gardens at lunch in summer-like weather!
Nov 15 - 7.2 km walking (90 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min)

11/14 - 23 miles - took the long way home from work and got drizzled on for the last 5 miles. Still felt amazing though, super pumped to be back into the bike routine. And of course I wake up this morning and have a coughing fit that aggravates my lower back issue, so didn't ride in to work today. Bah.

No cycling, but lots of leg and cardio work in my gym (garage); lots of squats, lunges, skipping, core work, planks and other silliness with my kettlebell. Very sweaty.2

Also, not sure if this is of interest, but I recently made it a goal to cycle the same distance that it would take to get to Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada (where I went on my honeymoon) by my first wedding anniversary! It's 2493 miles from my house to Lake Louise and I have til June 24th. According to my projections I should make it pretty easily, especially with some charity rides coming up in the late spring/early summer, but it's a fun goal/nice memory that will motivate me
