I'd like to regain a little cardio fitness this month. I have a fairly extensive abdominal and kidney surgery in the middle of May, so I'll be off the bike then for at least 3 weeks, maybe a month. If I don't ramp up my fitness before then, it's going to be a rough summer. I'll shoot for the 500 miles I didn't make last month.

Good luck with the surgery, Matt!

Got a metric scheduled this month, so I’m hoping to hit about 275-300 for the month.

Hopefully a little less travel this month. When I get home Monday for the first time in almost three weeks I'll have put over 2200 miles on the car in that time span.

3/2 - 18.6 zwift


March Goal: 375 miles
MTD: 18.6 miles
2023 Goal: 4500 miles
YTD: 588.8 miles

Lost my mojo after RAGBRAI last year. I'm finally back biking the last couple of weeks, but it will take awhile to build up again. Preplanned travel gets in the way this month, but I'm hoping to get in a solid 200mi.

Had a Cottontail rabbit race me about half way into my ride this morning. Joker was doing 16 MPH in a straight line two feet beside me. It creeped him out when I closed in on him. After about 40 feet he took a hard right and was gone.

Slow start for me this month, haven't ridden since Feb 25. Rain and evening events. Hoping to get out tonight, otherwise won't likely get a chance to ride before Friday. I'll shoot for 200 miles, although I should be able to do more.

My back rebelled at the beginning of the week. Took a few days off to heal up. Not a great start to the week, but back at it now!

Finally got on the road this month. Still in the 30's, but I think this next week is going to be much warmer.

Yay, two days in a row! Love the later sunsets and spring temps starting to turn up. It was 50F the other night, warmest ride in months.
