840 mi/1351 km + 26mi./41.84km = 866mi./1392.84km

Since my first post on this thread winter returned to the Tetons, IN A BIG WAY! Over 7ft. of light, dry, fluffy powder since March 26th. I spent nearly everyday of it on my splitboard.

Finally got back on the bike today encouraged by a warm overcast day.

My motto for spring riding "Who needs hills when you have wind?"

My motto for all riding is "who needs either one?"

866 mi/1393 km + 7 mi/11 km = 873 mi/1400 km

18 on Saturday 14.6 mph pace
+
20 on Sunday 14.9 mph pace
+
14 today 14.9 mph pace cool down day as I'm gonna try my first group ride tomorrow night, its an intermediate no man left behind ride starting in Northern Kentucky at a local bike shop.


Still trying to break the 15 mph pace, but I'll get there soon enough.

925 Miles/1,488 KM

Almost 1/40th of the way there guys

Almost 1/40th of the way there guys

I'm going on the assumption several of us are battling dodgy weather; I have to ride through some dead legs. Once it gets consistently warm, I'm thinking we'll all be riding like theMadOne.

925 miles + 30 miles = 955 miles/1537 km

very hilly ride,I felt bad because it was my first group ride and it was a no man left behind ride so they kept waiting for me at the top of the hills. The hills were so big too, but I set a new max speed on my way down one of them, 37 mph or so.

 

[Chavez]

952 mi/1532 km + 16 mi/25 km = 968 mi/1557 km

TOMORROW, big group ride. Even if nobody else rides, I'll put us over 1k.

 

[maydog]

4/15/2010 => 900mi

 

[Chavez]

No offense maydog, but I need a little clarification on exactly what your numbers mean. Until then:


968 mi/1557 km + 42 mi/67 km = 1010 mi/1624 km

Man, I was totally arsed at the end of the ride. I thought I was approaching the outskirts of Bonk City, then I hopped off my bike and needed about 3 minutes to figure out how to work my car's key fob. Taking off my shoes and jersey was a whole 'nother sort of adventure.

 

[maydog]

(Month)/(Day)/(Year) => (Distance)

 

[xeus]

still have no idea what you are talking about maydog


did 18 yesterday

1010 + 18 = 1028 Miles

 

[maydog]

Sorry, I see now that this is a running total. Thats OK anyway my spreadsheet on my mileage was wack. Chalk me up for 500 miles.

1028+500=1528

You've racked up 500 mi this year? Wowzers.

 

[Chavez]

No miles to add, but I did ride my first crit today.

 

[Wlfdg]

1528 + 13 = 1541
Left the house under blue skies. At 3.5mi out the wind kicked up just in time to go uphill a bit. A few minutes later it started hailing. The ultimate in Clydesdale thermo-regulation assistance.

VERY ! So how did it go?

 

[Chavez]

VERY ! So how did it go?

My buddy said "every race, I find something new I need to work on"; I said the biggest thing I found I needed to work on was not being last. I was what the French might call "la pied de la course."

 

[Wlfdg]

Do you mean faire de la course a pied? You ran the course?

 

[Chavez]

Do you mean faire de la course a pied? You ran the course?

No, I mean if the front of the race is "la tete de la course"....I was the foot of it.

 

[maydog]

Yes, I got sick of the trainer and did a lot of those miles in freezing temps. I should be good for about 100mi a week here on out.

 

[mccornwall]

3/19 - 10 miles
3/31 - 10 miles
4/1 - 11 miles
4/13 - 12 miles
4/18 - 12 miles
55 miles

These are my rides this year since the start of this thread.
1541 miles + 55 miles = 1596 miles

 

[ShaneW]

Cool - my first post here but I will play along. Since I got back on the bike 2 months ago I have logged 299 miles.

1596 + 299 = 1895 miles
