    Yeah! Hilly miles should count for more than flat miles. Maybe .5 mile should = 1 mile if it's a hill. I could get into this way of calculating mileage!

    And a hill with a head wind is at least 2X more - right? But, do you have to deduct miles for downhills with tailwinds?
    To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

    Yeah!!Every foot of elevation gained has a corresponding downhill drop. So Veronica is really just a big slacker! She coasted down 11,275 feet!

    I've heard of Lance training where he'll climb a mountain, then ride down in the team car, then ride up again. Veronica, maybe you should start leaving a car at the top of Diablo!

    Total mileage for the month 399.8. 26,038 feet of climb.

    Come on Nancy spill yours. We know you're a bike goddess. I want to be either you or Cher when I grow up.

    Next month's goal is a little easier - 373 miles. I don't actually have a climbing goal. And I won't leave so many miles to be done at the end!
