Miles This Week: 180.6
Miles Towards Goal: 702.3/1000
New Bike Miles: 131.4
Sunday: 18.6 fast miles (for me, avg speed of 15.6, including my long hill) and then I went out and test rode new bikes for about 6 miles
Monday: 15.5 to work, also fast (for me, 16.6 avg). 15.5 home, normalish speed
Tuesday: 4.0 out riding the new bike before I bought it
Wednesday: 0
Thursday: 15.5 to work on the new bike, nice and quick (for me, 17.3 avg), slightly fast on the way home (> 16mph avg)
Friday: 15.5 to work, slow due to cold and bad planning and sprinklers 6.4 after work taking the long way to the pickup to go to the cat shelter.
Saturday: 74.5 round trip to Augusta. Down was with my Dad, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Joan and Uncle Dave. My Mom came down and took Joan and Dave home in the van and Jeff, Dad and myself made the ride back.
So far, the new bike is working out quite well. No pain or discomfort except on the long ride after 55 miles or so, the saddle started to be a little irritating... but I had the same experience with the other bike. It's just a long time to sit on a bike saddle.
My Dad mentioned maybe doing a century on the Loveland bike trail before the end of the year... we'll have to see, but it sounds like fun to me. It would be nice and flat, so it should be reasonably fast.
