MTB miles. Tougher than most road miles, but on the positive side, I never had to use the smallest chainring on my triple crank.

I'm late to the dance again this month - missed my October goal, too. Got 271 miles for October - goal was 300

The bad news: My back is bothering me again, I'm doing physical therapy. Goal of 2,200 miles for 2021 in serious doubt.
The good news: I made 2,000 miles for the third year in a row. I am still riding and hiking whenever my back and the weather let me. Hoping for a full recovery.

November goal: 150 miles

November 1 - 20.4 miles
November 7 - 14.7 miles
November 9 - 7.8 miles
November 10 - 11.5 miles
November 11 - 8.2 miles

November 12 - 12.3 miles

November to date: 75.8 miles

2021 to date: 2012.0 miles
2021 Goal: 2,200 miles ( updated: was 3,000 miles )

All my miles are outdoor miles on a 2011 Fuji Absolute 3 (unless otherwise noted) - my backup bike is a 1997 Trek 830.

Seized the opportunity to go pack on a few more miles this morning before the rest of the weekend precludes it. Great fun and I've got the endorphins to prove it.

It's feelin' kinda lonely around here. And how is it that I have more miles in for the month than MattTheHat ? Hope you're OK, fellow Clydesdale.
My doctor advised me today (I rode to my appointment, then to work; his office is in the other direction from work, so I saw a chance for more miles, and, well, parking there costs more than the copay) that he wants me to be sub-Clyde, or sub-200 lbs. A lofty goal, to be sure, but that's 28 pounds away at this point, so it ain't gonna happen soon.

Sat was pretty cold, high 30's but I learned my clothing choices are probably good for even a few degrees cooler. Sunday I started up the snowblower and moved it from the shed to the garage so it is ready when I need it. But I was back to riding in shorts. Cold again tonight, and windy. I hate wind.

Rode the San Gabriel River Bike Path from Pico Rivera down to Seal Beach with a friend who's an experienced cyclist ( @Manny66 ), 12 years younger, and 40 pounds lighter than me. Thankful he didn't drop me, and we averaged 16.2 mph over those 43 miles. A good day. Now I'm thinking about hitting 500 before the end of the month. It could happen, but will it?

Haven't been able to ride for the last week, and I was starting to think I wasn't going to make it. But got a ride in tonight and just squeaked over.

Now I need to think about what I might be able to accomplish in December. Pretty comfortable with temps in the 30's, so as long as it doesn't snow I might be able to have a decent month. At the very least I want to get to 1500 miles for the year.
