    A few more rides. My plan is to run tomorrow if the weather ever decides to calm down but if not I’ll be back on the bike. My husband & I are going to Tunisia for a week’s holiday so I won’t be posting until I get back so see u week after next!

    Oh wow! Enjoy your holiday, @Mari33a ! That's awesome. 🤩

    Thanksgiving was so busy I didn't get a chance to log, the day after was flooded with decorating, and then yesterday was an absolutely beastly ride that knocked me out so hard that I pretty much bathed and went to bed lol - today is 'catch-up-on-the-logging' day with a very easy ride just to keep the legs in reasonable condition.

    Ride 1 - 20.00 miles <- Zwift Off the Maap training ride, 11/28
    Ride 2 - 24.00 miles <- Zwift Turkey Day ride, 11/28

    Yesterday and today have been absolutely frigid outside, so not bothering to take my bike to the pool today. Just more Zwifting. But they've been fun group rides with great people, so it's still a great time.

    Ride 2 - 10.01 miles <- Zwift Turkey Day ride, 12/3

    A nice meetup today in the warmth of the workout room, staring over the frozen grass of the front lawn through the window. The frost vanished quickly, but still, it's danged cold out there!

    Yesterday's workout was another one of those 'murder the legs until you're exhausted' numbers, so capturing the logging of it today. :smile: Today was the first time up the new climb in Zwift's climb portal, Gotthard Pass. I have no idea where in the real world this climb is (apparently it's somewhere in Switzerland), but it's /fun/! If I'm not slammed with events throughout the month, I might actually go do the 125% of this one.

    Ride 1 - 17.00 miles <- Zwift Baseline Workout, 12/5

    @Mari33a So close! You'll definitely get there!! (I'm going to desperately try to hit round 4 - the Rapha Festival 500 is a great chance to get there lol)

    One ride today - a nice little meetup with some great friends. I do adore that Zwift lets me ride with friends in France, Norway, Britain and other states in the US of A.

    Nice to catch up on all the great progress. @Mari33a you are so close! I hope the trip to Tunisia was amazing.
    I am at 2,674 miles for the year so won’t get quite to 3,000, but that’s ok.
    167,513 vertical feet is what I’m most proud of! Also, no broken ribs this year!!

    @billbiggers06 Great milage, and FANTASTIC vertical achievements! So happy to hear you haven't broken any ribs (or other bones) this year!

    Plunking away, steadily creeping closer to finishing run 4.

    Chipping away. Only a smidge more than 600 miles to go... And the Rapha 500 challenge will knock out half of that.

    @RMUNTZ2 Oh yikes! Glad you're recovering.

    Zwift's climb portal can be obscenely brutal. Today's ride was a testament to that.
