May-31: 803 miles in May

May-31:

PUE: wanderings + marina / lunch / PUChRd-Coley-LeesvilleRd-ShadyGr; 81.1 miles, 5hrs, 11min, 15.6 mph avg pace.

1st Qt. tot: 20 rides; 755.3 m.; 47 hrs, 31 min; 15.9 mph.
Apr tot: 13 rides; 666.4 m.; 42 hrs, 58 min; 15.5 mph.
May tot: 14 rides, 803.1 m.; 50 hrs, 39 min; 15.8 mph.
YTD: 47 rides; 2225.0 m.; 141 hrs, 8 min; 15.8 mph.

Not much go in the legs when I started; esp. upslope. After the legs got warmed up, much better.

I'm counting this as a solo ride even though I did about 2 1/2 miles with Dalton's Tourists early in the ride,and rode from the marina back to PUE with the Tourists. However, I didn't get much help from riding "with" the Tourists as I pulled one guy most of the way up Baptist into the breeze, and had to slow for all the downslopes and some of the flatter stuff.

It got pretty windy, out of the SW, during the post-lunch miles.

During and after the ride, my bottom is somewhat sore, but my legs feel good. I could have ridden another 19 miles to get in a Century. But . . . oh, well.

  2. For the month or for the year? I'm thinking month because I was quite far behind on the year, I thought.

    Don't count your chickens before those eggs hatch yet. ;-)

    Looks like might be another 73-miler for the Irregulars on the 6-th (at least a metric), a Century on the 20th, and I'll be sneaking in either "30-mile TTs" or 50-milers or 70-milers during the week, and there are Sundays, of course. ;-)
