Lordy Fredwina that's awesome !

And great job, Trek & V.

GLC, these altimeters aren't super-accurate. You're within 3% of your goal, that's probably less than the error range of your altimeter, so I'd say you were plenty close enough! But we need to ask the One in Charge - what do you think, Trekhawk?



This has been a really good month for me. My goal was 15,000 and I did 26,000. booyah.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to pass that so I'll set next month's goal at 18,000.

You guys are all so very inspiring!!

But, celebrate with me, too! My goal for March was 10,000 feet, and I got it done, almost to the foot. It was a big goal for me, given the state of my fitness & training.

On Saturday, I still needed 2300 feet, so I did two repeats of the foot of our mountain, and got the 2300' in 17 miles! Pretty good for me. Even though my HR was too high (90-93% for a lot of the ride), I was surprised that I didn't feel a lot of burn, and I felt pretty good after and the next day, rather than trashed.

Tres magnifique! I'm having fun concentrating on the climbing also and am actually ahead of schedule. Now if the 6 extra pounds of gearage would go away with all this climbing.

LOL - yep whats with that. I also want to know why after doing all this Im still so slow going up those hills. Oh well at least I havent been passed by the cutoff jeans guy on his clunker bike drinking beer for awhile.

I hear you! I need to lose some weight, and I have really been having a hard time with that discipline this spring. But, I keep thinking, well, if I keep doing this hill climbing with these extra pounds I've put on, when I do start losing some, I am going to be STRONG after hauling it all up the hills! My legs are getting harder, though not smaller, so I know I am building some muscle!
