The best thing about eastern mtns was that 'wtf is a switchback' spirit.

dunno about hurricane mtn rd, but the general theme out here definitely seems to be STFU (straight the fuck up)
i've got big-boy gears on my road bike (53/39 up front and i think the biggest cog is 25t?) and that was fine in minnesota and really not that fine out here. tryna decide if i should just flip the road bike and put the money into my heavy but dependable cross check

Just 242 for April. Too much work on, can only get out once a week nowadays.

I'm not even on 500 for the year yet. Fucking knee. Still no hills. Manage maybe 40 a week at the moment - about 10-15 commuting and then maybe 25 at the weekend pulling the trailer normally.

342 for May. It's my half-term break this week so I'd been hoping to get a few rides in, but the weather is shite (40mph winds and heavy rain yesterday, no sun forecast until Sunday). Did a time trial last night on the velopark circuit (next to the Olympic velodrome) with both shoes feeling like they had a jug of water sloshing around inside them: https://youtu.be/87ZOBTVsGbo

128 for May, lowest since I spent August in the hospital. Not much comment other than I fear I'm ending biking? Probably not totally, but ~effectively~?
Sort of off topic, but affecting my bike attitude is the Broeckx thing, which is so sad, and really close to home. Was so hoping they wouldn't need to craney him, which I am guessing was the pressure reduction. I was trying to get Dutch news and Google's translation rendered the headline to be "Broeckx undergoes double lobotomy" and I was just "!!!!??"

164 for June. Not even on 1,000 for the year yet. I did kick a football at physio for the first time this morning though, and that felt good, and did 25 miles with some steady climbing yesterday morning at a decent tempo. I'm getting there.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 4 July 2016 13:05 (seven years ago) link
327 for June. Lots of social rides and coincidental reunions on the road, it's been fun.

368

284 in July, my biggest monthly total since June 2015. I'll take that. Significant chunk of it was 90 miles done in one weekend when Em and Nora were away.

78
but I spent the month in north america, so
― cozen, Saturday, 6 August 2016 01:07 (seven years ago) link
386, but I think that adds in my running miles which is probly like 25.

I clocked up 539 for July up to the 26th and then spent the best part of two weeks off the bike - just got back from holiday in France.

Another big month, 524 for August (and that's after zero miles in the first 8 days of the month)
― remain in the privacy of the booth (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 1 September 2016 22:25 (seven years ago) link
261 last month. I have a feeling I will find that difficult to match this month; two weekends away and less favourable weather...
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 12 September 2016 10:10 (seven years ago) link
I did 302 for September. Only just realised that the month has changed: I wasn't able to ride for more than two weeks because of illness and stuff. Back out today and felt substantially less fit already.

only 227, mtb taking it's toll on mileage and time. Like every mtb ride involves 30-60 mins of driving that could otherwise be riding. it's bullshit, but built into the system.

OK, if we're doing decimals mine was actually 300.6, to be honest

April was 418. It would be good if I could carry on this trend of going further each month than the one before, but I think would soon become impossible.
― Warren's Treat (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 21 May 2017 21:08 (six years ago) link
0 for March, April, and May.

April was actually 412 - I accidentally included my meagre jogging miles in the cycling total. May is 354 and I won't be able to add to that before the month ends.
― Warren's Treat (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 28 May 2017 19:27 (six years ago) link
June was 364. I'm getting very lazy at filling in my spreadsheet nowadays.
