Best month ever

I just completed 405 miles and 16,000 calories for the month of April. This is the best month ever and my previous was last August. So who know what the summer months will bring.

It must be the new bike, because i'm just older.

That's impressive especially since the weather around here in April has been "iffy" all month. Nice.

That's awe-inspiring. April is my best month ever, also. But I'm only going to get half of what you've done by Thursday. Congrats!

As the weather gets warmer, I go out earlier. By the summer i'll be at at day break to avoid the cars.

Sunday morning is the best, the roads are empty.

I took my MTB out today for a ride and after I checked the computer stats and was surprised that I did just over 100 miles on it this month. I'd say its 2/3 trail and 1/3 pavement.

That makes over 500 miles in April.
