So, Miss Veronica- What was your goal for March??? Let's see how I stack up with yours. (I'll have to check my bike journal, but I sure did do a lot this month, come to think of it!)

It's a simple plan. Twice a month up Diablo - did that!
More mileage per month this year than last year.
March of 2004 I did 398.2. BTW I had been thinking 393, so I need 113 more miles.

I just looked at my totals for this month and it's not the total mileage that blows me away. It's the elevation gain. I count trainer miles because I figure time on the bike is time on the bike and if I'm going dizzy from the anaerobic interval abuse, it counts. Anyway, only 307.81 miles so far but 9,670 ft of climbing! Wahoo!
I have many, many long rides right out my door that don't involve more climbing than a freeway bridge so this just blows me away! I had no idea how it was stacking up. I would guess that my normal total would be around the 3 to 4,000 ft gain because of the mtb rides. Let’s hope it pays off this weekend.

Wow, very impressive, SadieKate! I guess I didn't realize there were trainers that kept track of your elevation gain - I'm calling my thing a trainer but it's just a resistance roller. No wonder I was huffing and puffing on those real hills the other day!!

I need to go out and ride 38 miles this morning. Sarah we need to trade houses.
I've gotten over 20,000 feet of climb, because I can't go anywhere without climbing, but I'm down to the wire on my mileage goal.

I log the miles from my trainer but I only log elevation gain from outdoor rides. I should go back, subtract trainer miles and then look at the elevation gain from the miles I have left. Originally Posted by nuthatch

V, you can come up here any old time but I'll have to get my Dad to tune-up the harpsichord for Thom. 20,000 climing for March? I still remain impressed that flatlander me is pushing 10k. If only the Mt Tam ride had worked out . . .
Ok, got to get ready for work. Was defragging the old confuser last night so couldn't check up on everyone.Last edited by SadieKate; 03-31-2005 at 08:06 AM.

You have a harpsichord?! Thom wants a harpischord! Bach sounds SO much better on a harpisichord.

I'll go one better on the harpsichord thing. My DH and his Dad built one (from a kit, but still...). It got sold to a good home when the in-laws moved from their big home to an elder-condo, and last I heard is still going strong.
None of us in this house plays keyboards well enough to justify the responsibility for it, or I could have had it. I was tempted...Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
