Gingerbread Angels: The scariest biker group in Peep Town (Page 7)

It sounds wonderful!  And I'm sure you are glad it's done.

I got a ride in this afternoon, yahoo!  It's a beautiful day here, although pretty windy.  And no adventures today, including no men with guns.  They must be spending Easter with their families!

Rode the trainer today to spend time with kids instead of outside with the 20-30 mph winds. I seem to have lost my toughness for riding outside in nasty conditions. I'm over 75% now toward my goal of 400 miles this year. I have indoor and outdoor options for all my rides unfortunately doing the indoor ones means less mileage then outdoor ones. I have  55 mile brick, 2 interval rides, and another fun ride next Sunday so I should get 100-130 more miles this month.
 

As of today:

Bike:18h 32m 53s  - 309.6 M

One week to go with a big push to finish off the goals. May the weather be great for everyone to get out and get the miles/time in to springboard into Spring!! (Although not all of us are in the northern hemisphere)

Most everyone is right on track and everyone is within reach!  Let's fly to the top this week! 

Hi Team - just a quick reminder, we are due for a challenge update so I will get working on that.

In some parts of the world Monday was a public holiday you you have until Tuesday PM to get your results up to date before I post an update!

Happy Cycling

It would be great if you update the spreadsheet.  I have been going through periodically and updating though not always "paying attention to detail"

Great job on getting to 95%.

I've got some work left to do. 

I am away from my bike this week and have 53 miles left to complete my goal  .  So i will do some of it on the gym bike this week so i dont leave myself with too much to do over the weekend . 

I got really bad hay fever last week so the sunday ride ride was pretty sluggish.

 Go Angels .

Hey - here is a shor and sweet update for the challenge.... 1 week to go!

Hey Angels..how is the riding going?

20h 48m 54s  - 347.07 Mi for the month out of 400

I have a 55 mile brick, another interval workout and a fun ride left for the month so if things stay on track I should make it. I'm fighting a cold and have nasty case of pink eye but I can still ride. 

I was at 999 miles after trainer interval ride for the year this morning so I took my Kuota off the trainer and went for a quick fun spin. Now I'm at 1011 for the year on track to hit 4K miles this year!

It wasn't that long ago when riding 25 miles was hard for me...and I wanted to turn around and go home after like 10. I remember clearly my first ride on my first road bike in 2004 and riding 6 miles oh was tough, my bum hurt like crazy and I thought how the heck do folks ride long?

If you want it and love it like I do you can do it too. Plus the more you ride the faster you get..really...even when you are older like me.

2005 I rode 1044 miles
2006 I rode 2654 miles
2007 I rode 3761 miles

I got to do something yesterday that I had been planning to for nearly three weeks -- ride my bike after work!  I was so excited when daylight savings time started, and had all of these big plans that came crashing down when reality (reality = work right now!) set in.  But yesterday I had a chance to get out and ride, and it sure was nice!  Hopefully this pattern will continue.

I've been a pretty silent teammate this month, and it's because of that reality (work) thing.  Thanks for all of the inspires everyone left me, in spite of my silence.  It seems that most everyone is doing good at their goals.

Congrats on making your goal!!

Good luck on your move~ 

Sledge - 2008-03-28 4:28 PM Happy today -- I'm off work and I got a long bike ride in! Longest of the season so far -- 50+ miles.

Awesome..doesn't it feel great

Nice use of a day off! 

Sledge - 2008-03-28 2:28 PM Happy today -- I'm off work and I got a long bike ride in! Longest of the season so far -- 50+ miles.

Way to go!  I wish I'd done 50 miles today!!! 

Rode trainer today hoping tomorrow will be nicer for long brick but high is forecasted for 31 and doing 55 miles of hills when a little sick doesn't seem to smart. I have an indoor option so I may ride/run/ride/run/ride outside for maybe 90' and done....will see what weather is like and how I feel tomorrow.

But good news I'm getting close to 400 miles..

 22h 23m 27s  - 374.41 Mi

The challenge -

Balancing the fact that I am working all Saturday morning (hopefully I can get out of here by noon) with being a "good" dad, with getting in a scheduled 3 hour ride.   Hmmmmm

Good luck everyone,  with 3 days left, everyone is within reach of their goals.  Lets do it big this weekend. 

Pete..good luck on finding that balance..always challenging!

Done..hit my goal today...crazy brick trainer/run/trainer/run/rode outside in wind and cold

24h 55m 36s  - 416.51 Mi

I have one more ride schedule either trainer ride or fun ride with friends tomorrow if we can work it out. 

Next month I hope to get to 500 miles..we'll see as I have two rest weeks..so may not work but bricks are longer.
