I'm going to change my posting format so I don't have to do math anymore.

Goal - 500
Rides so far - 3
Miles so far - 92
Feet climbed - 3,407

Good start to the month, had a couple of nice gravel rides in Fort Worth, going for the Tour de Italia (Texas) pre-ride tomorrow.

June Goal: 200 miles

June 2 - 16.8 miles - '97 Trek
June 3 - 11.9 miles - '97 Trek
June 4 - 24.0 miles - longest ride so far in 2019, felt great today on the '11 Fuji
June 8 - 7.8 miles - '97 Trek

It has been wet and rainy here, but watching the weather radar I caught enough of a window to get in almost 8 miles before the next downpour. I am determined to ride!

Twice in last week with a GPS malfunction. Each time adding four miles or so which I have corrected where I caught the rascal. It's a Garmin Oregon 450 I bought for hiking years ago but which has been faithfully recording time and distance for the last three years. Until now.

06/01 - 4.96 - TERRIBLE!!! Another blow out getting really tired of it. Always the rear tire.
06/02 - 42.27 - Great BUT Windy ride. Goal for the day was 50 miles but got leg cramps at the 39 mile mark. Good thing I was only 3 miles from home. Also figured out the blow out issue. Tire Pressure. Switched to Gator skins a few weeks ago and had pinch flats 4 times out due to lower air pressure in the back. Will now be checking pressure before I go out to ensure rear is at least 110 PSI as it seems anything lower causes flats. This is a bumpy ride but I will have to adjust accordingly.
06/06 - 2.74 - ride was more like 7-10 miles BUT my Wahoo Bolt went dead
06/09 - 25.57 - good ride only 1:35 - I have to make time to ride more


Monthly Goal - 300 - plan is to ride during the week on 5-10 mile routes as well on the fitness bike just to stay in tune. Overall speed and cadence is up tremendously since the start last August.

06/12 - 16.1 - first time riding before 5:30 am. I guess you could call it "fasting" cycling. Did not eat before but felt GREAT before, during and after the ride. Rain potential shortened the pre-work ride.

Ugh, I have been really been sloughing off the past year and a half. Made some positive lifestyle changes after some serious backsliding. Need to get my mojo back!

June Goal - 150 Miles

6/6 - 31.1 - gravel
6/8 - 3.0 - around town on gravel alleys and a few hills
6/14 - 19.7 - shorter gravel ride and a spin through town
6/22 - 12.5 - Summer Solstice gravel ride
6/23 - 34.2 - Bristol Indiana/SW Michigan gravel group ride
6/27 - 23.3 - paved ride around Lake Max CW and CCW
6/29 - 15.6 - mixed surface ride before hanging out with sons and picking up fireworks
6/31 - 21.1 - gravel ride to complete my June goal I promise I won't count it towards July

Total MTD 160.5

Walking
6/1-2 - 3 miles of hiking with family at McCormick's Creek
6/27 - 2.8 mile walk with wife
