    LOL Diva... you did 480 odd kms? Whatdya do to make 'em odd? Wear a soft toy on your helmet? Sit on the handle bars? Hmmm? Hmmm?

    Seriously, I just did a tally for February thus far and am pleasantly surprised to find I am so far ON track that I only need to do a minimum of 8.2kms per day (about 5 miles I think) to meet my Feb goal!
    That sounds pretty achievable

    No mileage goal, due to the uncertainty of the weather this time of year. My goal will be to ride outside every day that conditions are safe (no ice, no snow, etc). A cold front is going to "visit" us early next week, so in order to get myself outside in the bitter air when it's still dark, I need to have that goal.

    But spring is coming. I can feel it---the birdies are starting to sing early in the morning and the sun is coming up earlier.

    Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

    LOL... the daughter of a couple in the local club has a little pink pig attached to the top of her helmet - its always perched there.
    She's a recent convert from mtn biking - maybe its an off-road thing

    No...he actually sat on a normal bike backwards. He would sit on the handlebars, facing backwards, and pedal (pedaling forward from the perspective of the bike, but pedaling backward from his perspective, facing toward the back).
