1 mile to work, 16 after work: http://app.strava.com/rides/6271577 I wanted to get some climbing without going very far from home, so it was one time up Greenwood and three times up Indian Canyon Road.

The last time up, I gave it about 85%-90% and brought my previous best down from 8:35 to 8:09, despite the bike being fairly well loaded up and still on studded tires. Good enough! Now what's for supper?

Total: 3160

3 miles today. I wanted to do long commutes, but needed the sleep in the morning, and worked extra hours at work. On the bright side, the weather outlook is much better for the next week, with a high of 52 tomorrow and on up into the 60s after that, so hopefully I can get back with the program now.

Total: 3170

Total: 3222

Nice weather here too I rode out south of town and met up with some clubmates. We did a practice loop of the upcoming paved-&-gravel road race, then decided to do a second racecourse as well.

Including riding to/from the meeting point, it was 106 miles, 5300ft ascent, 6 hours: http://app.strava.com/activities/6375322 Legs felt like trash, it was just one of those off-days I guess.

Total: 3328

54 miles this morning in strong, gusty winds. Was already a little tired from yesterday, so looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

Total: 3382

Super-nice weather today! Around 60°F/14C and mostly sunny. I went for a mellow XC mountain bike ride at the nearby state park with the owner of the bike shop. On this ride, I took my lightweight XC-race mountain bike, although with the heavier training wheelset installed.

On the way home, I detoured to Greenwood Road to take a shot at the hillclimb with my remaining energy. The leader on that climb is a guy half my age who rides a road bike. I managed to top his mark by 17 seconds, at age 42, with a mountain bike, with the heavier wheelset, after riding 106 miles the day before. Excellent. That's also 39 seconds faster than my own previous best of 4:44 on the studded-tire whalebike... I'd guess the bike made the majority of the difference today.

Anyway, +35 miles: http://app.strava.com/rides/6431262

[mechBgon]

13.3 miles on the morning commute, and 23.5 on the evening commute, so I'll call that 37 miles. I also gained 3500ft ascent, and I'm 69% done with the Specialized/Strava climbing challenge with 21 days left out of 47.

Total: 3522

Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be even nicer than today's. I'll probably take the road-sport bike and try to do longer routes.

I hereby authorize all ".5" mile riders to round up to the next even mile increment.

19 mile intervals session on the trainer tonight. Was hoping I was officially done with the trainer for the season, but wasn't up for the 25-30 mph winds this evening.

Total: 3555

Super weather today, as predicted. I wasted too much time in the morning for a long commute to work, so I did a quick 14-mile hill-repeat session: http://app.strava.com/rides/6528517 Third time up the hill was a new PR for me by 32 seconds!

On the way home, I did a variety of hills and some highways for 50 miles and about 4200ft ascent: http://app.strava.com/rides/6562474 I put the hammer down fairly hard on some of the hills, taking 44 seconds off my KOM record on one of them (but switching to non-studded tires is part of that).

hehe, screw y'all. Well, maybe Niki more than KMc............

I thought my road ride was 15 mi, took ~1hr, so 30 min on the spin........

My road is actually 16 mi but I was in the habit of posting the .5s.

A whole 3 miles today, I took the direct route to work & back. Legs still feel a little stressed from yesterday, so a rest day was probably a good idea. Looking for some multi-hour commutes tomorrow, though.

Morning commute = 37 miles, 3100ft ascent: http://app.strava.com/rides/6628673 Basically going through the motions for the climbing stats. I don't ride too hot in the morning, too busy digesting breakfast I think.


Evening commute = 24 miles, 2100ft ascent: http://app.strava.com/rides/6656364 This ride started off with two lackluster climbs, but before giving up for the day, I did one more and felt good. So I did one more after that, then hit a small climb on the way home.

All three of these last ones, I snagged the KOM status by under 5 seconds faster than the previous leaders *cackle* I was riding my jack-of-all-trades road-commuting bike today, it's a bit more efficient than the mountain bike (although not as efficient as a real road-racer).

Anyway, +61 miles, so total: 3695
