April was our first road rideable month (other than mountain bike with studs) and today it was 32F and it snowed for christ sake. I got 463 miles in plus 11 hours of spinning so I'll claim 500+ miles this month. Hopefully more next month.

Quoted for humor. Bolding supplied by yours truly.

That's a lot of freaking turns of your wheel though. Have you figured out how to sleep ride or something?

Get up at 4:30am, ride for 2 hours. Get kids to school/Kindy, See my wife off to work. Ride to work, Ride home. Repeat and add 200km or in the weekend for a few long rides. Got 1400km last month so the breakdown goes

Feb 690km
March 850km
April 1100km
May 1400km
June ... 1600km if I can free up enough time.

6 hours sleep is enough for me. Everyone here uses miles, but in Korea (and New Zealand) we use km yet the term 'mileage' is used. Dates back to the 1960s and earlier when we did use miles I suspect.
