My goal for today was 20 miles. It was very, very windy and as I started out this afternoon, I began to wonder how far I should go. Even down-shifting didn't help me much as I was trying to keep up with the wind. I rode for 6 miles and told myself that it was just to windy to go any further. So I turned around and headed for home. I figured 12 miles was better than nothing.
After supper, I started out again. This time I was planning to ride 4 miles and then head back for home. At least I would have my 20 miles in. But once again it was very windy and I had to force myself to keep on "trudging" down the road. I took a different way coming home and when I looked at my mileage thing, I found out that the way I thought was longer was actually a mile shorter. Great! Now I have to ride another mile before I could go in the house and relax. I turned around in my driveway and headed back down the road so I could make up the extra mile. As I was riding, I decided, "Hey, I'm out here, I might as well ride another 5 miles". So I kept on going and by the time I got back home, I had my 325 miles in. I sure worked hard for those miles today, but I did it. With the 1 mile on my other bike, I only have 1685 miles to go.
I did see some robins today and a couple of blue jays but nothing that I could get a picture of.
Tomorrow starts a new month and I hope I can get more miles in than I have this one. Hopefully, we have no more snow.
Until next time, when I take off on my journey and the "Tread Meets the Payment."
How did you end up with 1 mile on your other bike?
ReplyDeleteCan the air bike do mileage? You could ride the air-bike when it rains.
How many miles did you ride total for each of the months? (March? April?) What is your goal for May?
You could post answers to these questions in a new blog if you want. It would give you something new to blog about.
Does the air bike count? :D
