So far for the year, I've totalled just shy of 1300 miles. Not a great number, but considering that I've been off bike for about 3 months (on and off) of that time, I'm ok with it. Total climbing is over 35,000 ft.

I ride mostly for fun and fitness, but I also commute to work as much as possible. My #1 cycling goal is to climb mountains on my bike, so this year, I've got my first mountain century planned. I'd planned on one in May, but had to miss it due to work, so the next one that fits my schedule is the 6 Gap Century in September. In addition, I plan on riding the same two organized centuries I did last year (one in August and one in September). Lastly, my goal is to drop the 20 lbs I gained when I picked up biking 2 years ago.

So far, my biggest accomplishments are the following - 1) I climbed my first 'mountain' locally on a ride with my husband a couple of months ago and 2) I have increased my avg speed on my lunch ride route by 2 mph overall (vs last summer).

My overall miles goal for the year was 2500, but I'm upping that to 3500. Now let's hope that my work schedule stays out of my way!
