Friday and Saturday were blistering hot but I rode anyhow. Today the temperature dipped almost 25 degrees and I was rewarded with some fabulous time on the bike. It's amazing how much the weather can affect the overall enjoyment of a ride. It also helps that my leg strength continues to improve and I've shed about 5 pounds already. It's time consuming riding this much but it has definite advantages. My challenge after this will be to keep riding and not let my work schedule interfere as much as I let it this past year.
It's about time for an updated graph to show where I am on my mileage goal:
I'm going to take the day off tomorrow and then ride my bike club's Tuesday night training ride which is always a fast paced workout and great for tuning up the cardio-vascular system.
Mileage so far: 283.5 Projected mileage: 513 Days left: 20
