3/2: 33.59 miles. Went down in a minor low speed, “where did that gravel come from?!” and “Is my bike okay?” moment. Road rash.
3/4: 14.03
3/6: 26.29
3/11: 27.3

3/12: 12.02. Road rash getting better. Itchy.
3/13: 13.29
3/15: 12 - indoor spin
3/16: 40 - club ride/workout. Lots of hills. One ridiculous downhill run at 40mph.

3/23: 64.22 - 100km event ride. Lots of hills. One pinch flat from hitting a rock on a descent.

3/30 11.6 Saturday ride. Finished March with more miles than I ever rode this early but feel that with a little cooperation from the weather there was even more. It looks like April will begin with three more weather days after the holiday. On the other hand I want to rest a foot that I 'm pretty sure has nothing to do with the bike.

I'm home tonight for the first Sunday night since February 11. The past six weeks have seen me attend a funeral in Wilmington, NC for a very close friends parents who both died 10 days apart, a birthday party for another friend in Kent Island, MD, a fun OysterFest weekend with my two older kids in Ocean City, MD, up to Huntington Mills, PA to join my wife and help take care of her 91 year old mother who had valve replacement surgery, two trips to UPenn in Philly while she had her surgery, three trips back home to NoVa to keep my business running, two trips to Richmond, VA to be with my best friend who had a liver transplant on my birthday and who unfortunately passed last Thursday. Lots of emotional ups and downs. Definitely the most tumultuous six week stretch of my 61 years on this planet. My trainer and zwift helped to keep me sane. I'm not sure everyone close to me fully understands how much I NEED to be on a bike. April is going to see me riding a LOT more. I really need it.

I don’t like what you’ve had to go through, but I like that you’ve made it through.

Oh man, I'm sorry you've had such a rough few weeks. Glad being on your bike and maybe even sharing with us is helping you get through this. My thoughts are with you.

march was a bust for me. did not even look at my miles but probably less than 150 miles. messed up my hand pretty bad and lesson learned when your wife and adult kids tell you you need to go to the ER take their advice. I didn't and have been paying the price.
