The goal is 40,000mi./64,374km., to be reached by October 1, 2010.

3/17/10- 20mi./32km
 
Ig ot my bike in the mail last night and spent 4 hrs assembling it, looks a lot easier than it is to get everything aligned. Went on an inaugural ride today during lunch of 1 mile so.....

167 miles + 1 mile = 168 miles

3/25: 40 mi
3/26: 40 mi
New total: 248 mi.
3/27 - 32 mi/52 k + 248 mi/399 km = 280 mi/451 km

I feel like I should add points because it was basically an out-and-back ride in maybe 40 degree weather; out was fine, back we hit a rough headwind and it was a freakin' sufferfest. About a half mile from the end, I rode up next to my friend and said "f*ck world peace the thing I want most right now is to be off this bike!" :cool:
 
280 + 6 = 286 Miles (~460 KM)

First real ride was today, its a great day outside and I finally went out and bought a helmet (got a waterbottle plus holder, and a 2 in 1 hand bike pump CO2 inflator as well). Max Speed was 25 mph with average being 8.9 mph, so a good 40 minutes or so.

I learned a valuable lesson today......I HATE HILLS!

Drop some weight, build some stamina and you'll....well, still hate 'em. Just a little less. ;)

3/27 100mi + 286 mi = 386 mi (637 km)

Rode with the Triangle Cyclists and didn't get dropped this time! Then did 50 extra bonus miles. Cut it off @ 100 because it was too cold to ride all day (28-42F).

Criminy - 180 mi in 3 days....you're obviously gonna be the tugboat in THIS particular challenge.

Sadistic ride leader took us on a killer hill ride, mostly up/down--I'm cooked!

428 + 10 = 438 Miles (705 KM)

First 2 digit ride....BOOYA!!
 
445 + 17 = 462 MILES (744 km)


had a riding buddy today, I feel great!!! Still hate hills.
 
462 mi/744 km + 7 mi/12 km* = 469 mi/756 km



* - this is my commute; it's dead on 11.5 km, so I'm just going to alternate between logging it as 11 km and 12 km. Don't want to be shortchanging us.
 
3/31: 39 mi @ 20 mph -- Chasing the f---ing hammerheads!
4/1: 38 mi @ 18 mph -- Taking it easier this time
4/3: 153 mi @ 17 mph -- Good double century pace
4/4: 49 mi @ 17 mph -- Lots of hills
279 + 493 = 772 mi (1242 km)
 
10miles/16kl 15 mph wind in the face
10m/16kl Rain and wind.

782 mi/1258 km + 20mi/32kl = 802mi/1290kl
