Thank you guys -- this is a great group. I wasn't as consistent as I wanted to be but you guys sure inspired me to get out and try to get some miles as often as possible. Cheers everyone... thanks again.

Thanks @jillyian after quite a bit of benadryl, ibuprofen and a tetanus shot later my eye is no longer swollen and I was able to ride today which was quite the treat.

I'm going to be out for another day or so yet. I had a hornet get under my glasses and I was stung 3 times before I could get it out. I have some swelling and am resting up for a few days so that I can get back on the bike sooner rather than later.

I'm in again. July #s: 51.4mi // 4 hours

June: 148.4 mi // 10:33 hours YTD Totals -- 894.8 mi // 67 hours

@TheBigYin that is one hell of a spreadsheet!

This sounds pretty cool -- I would be willing to join if there is any more room.

Got in a couple of really nice rides over the past few days. I was able to get out to one of the best mountain biking trials in the state and boy was it wild. I cant wait to get back there... hopefully in a couple weeks I can make my way back. June: 82 mi // 6 hours YTD Totals -- 828 mi // 62:48 hours

June: 52 mi // 3:45 hours YTD Totals -- 796.8 mi // 60 hours

@tcaley4 I'm sorry to hear about the loss in your family...

May: 154 mi // 11:09 hours YTD Totals -- 703.4mi // 53.5 hours

Thanks for posting @UmmSqueaky -- It slipped my mind to get the new thread up until I got to work today and saw it was 5/2. I think I am going to change up my riding goals for the year -- this year I am going to log overall mileage/saddle time for month with no set mileage goal. May - 50.4 mi // 3.7 hours YTD Totals --…

Edited - didnt realize a new thread had been made already.

Nice to see you are back in the saddle again @tcaley4 -- I think you might be onto something with the 4lbs... that's 1/2 a gallon of water your body probably held onto.

We're almost out of the cold @UmmSqueaky -- heck of a ride in today ey?

@UmmSqueaky That sounds amazing! What shop do you prefer?

Been a while since I have checked in. Still trying to make an effort to get on the bike regularly and had a nice few rides over March. For anyone that hasn't heard of it 30 days of biking starts in April. 30 days of biking is pretty straight forward -- you can sign up here - http://30daysofbiking.com/ (free) to make a…

@SingingSingleTracker Those are stunning photos.

@SteveCro that sounds awesome. what a fun time. are you already thinking about what to pack? =)

registered Tuesday for my 2nd century ride -- looking forward to ramping up and getting back to century conditioning.

@UmmSqueaky Fellow Minnesotan here -- I feel your pain about today. I got one mile out when the front was picking up. I had a few glimpses of the 40mph gusts that were rolling through my area and decided to turn around. Fatbikes are great for many things but they are not terribly good with strong winds.

Back in MN from honeymoon. Fell short of goal this month. Did ride a tandem on vacation and we decided to buy one - they are a blast. I'm at about 45 miles for the month after a balmy 55 degree couple hour ride yesterday. Nice to be back in the saddle. Looking forward to March weather.

I am going to go for 100 miles this month. I am heading out of the country for most of the month and don't think it will be a terribly bike heavy month for me. As a side -- my first ride this month will make it my 12th straight month of riding which is a first for me. Living in MN we can have some wicked winters and its…

First month I haven't hit my goal. Unfortunately being sick most the month put me out of commission. 1/1 - 14.1mi 1/3 - 8mi 1/6 - 19.8mi 1/22 - 19.8mi 1/25- 20.8mi 1/27 - 19.8mi Total: 102.3 miles Goal: 200-250 miles

nice to log on and see everyone having such good months biking. I have had a bit of a set back with a cold that is going on ~2 weeks. I wanted to have my first below 0f ride over the past few days but with this cold I don't think it would be the best idea. Going to the Doc today and hopefully can get some meds and get back…

Been sick and unfortunately missed a few really great days of riding this week. 1/1 - 14.1mi 1/3 - 8mi 1/6 - 19.8mi Total: 41.9 miles Goal: 200-250 miles
