That's a good number, SB. Remember, everyone's got different terrain to ride on and is training for different goals. (In one double century last month I got 19,000 feet, and I am coaching a group for the Death Ride - 14,000 feet in 130 miles. But... I have friends who climb WAY more than I do every month.) Compare yourself to yourself! Do more next month than you did this month, etc.Originally Posted by SouthernBelle

Good advice for every single time someone asks "how fast do you ride?" or "how many miles do you ride?"

Hi all...got in 3445 on Saturday...I think I'm up in the 12,000s now, and my May goal was 13,000, so I'm pleased.

I didn't set a goal other than to do more climbing. I'm already up to 13000+ so I'm happy. I didnt' know I did so much cllimbing before I got the gps. The sunday ride last week really added on the feet though. My legs were sore for days.

(I'm definitely climbing better than in past doubles we've done together - but my top end is just a little more sluggish than it was before. Oh well.)Sarah
