November 2019 100 Mile/km Thread
 
I’ve missed my goal for the past two months, so I’m going to aim low this month to avoid disappointment. :lol: My goal is more miles than last November, so I’ll shoot for 400 miles. What are your riding plans for this month?

OldCruiser 10-31-19 10:12 PM

With the accident and the weather changing so much so fast , I’ll be happy if I can do 100 miles this month .
We’re supposed to have below freezing wind chill in the morning . Two weeks ago it was in the mid 90’s around here .
I’ve seen 70’s on Christmas Day , so until after the first of the year , I should have some good days .

Yep, it was 34 degrees here in the Dallas area this morning. That’s cold enough for me not to ride.

Goal: 450 miles


YTD: 5888 miles getting close to my annual goal of 6000 miles.

Goal is 200+, but the weather just turned cold here, and with diminishing daylight that may be ambitious.

Um...that’s moving along pretty nicely!

November Goal: 225 miles

I want to be realistic and set myself up for success - with the days getting shorter and the temps getting colder... my goal is 225 miles this month. The good news is, if I get my monthly goal this time around, I will also get my 2,000 mile goal for 2019, and December miles will be bonus miles.

November 2 - 19.4 miles
November 5 - 7.2 miles

November to date: 26.6 miles

2019 to date: 1831.9 miles

2019 goal: 2000 miles

Thanks! But it was pretty flat so other than a strong headwind, no elevation to deal with today. :ride:

Another 31 today. Spinning in my small ring ride 16.3 average speed. Not much effort, just a nice ride.

No goals, just riding.

Getting cold and windy, but still shooting for 100 miles n November, moving most workouts indoors to the gym.

10/4 8.31 in stupid wind

Nov to date: 8.31
Year to date: 1445.12

MattTheHat 11-04-19 02:14 PM

So I says to myself...Matt, you should probably throw in some extra elevation on your rides this month. It'll make you stronger, I said. So I've changed my routes up to get about 50% more climbing than I normally get. I don't know if it will make me stronger or not, but after three days, I'm feeling it, I can tell you that! Man, am I tired!

70 degrees today , still a little sore and bruised, but I had to get started back .
I think riding will increase blood flow and help me heal quicker .
Rode the Electra Cruier 1 single speed .
I know 3.5 miles isn’t much , but it’s a start . Felt good to get the wind blowing in my face .
I will have to admit , even though my neighborhood streets were mostly bone dry , I got a little anxious every time I took a sharp turn the first couple of miles .:)
