I am shocked to add up my mileage and find that it's only 97 miles for May. Between the rain and flooding (all our bike routes were under water) the beginning of the month and triathlon and time trial training, I didn't get but one ride in over 25 miles. This must change in June!

I was a little over my goal of 100 mile per week every week in May, so I'm going to estimate it at 420.

Red, with all of the rain we have all been having that is impressive! My goal for May WAS 100 miles/week, but the weather just prevented that. I plan on getting there in June.
Branching out into mountain biking might slow that as Saturday is the best day for me to mountain bike/practice and that is my traditional long ride day. Obviously 3 hours on the mountain bike covers far less territory than on the road - especially for a total beginner
I think what matters is the time on the bike, regardless of how many miles I cover. If my short rides become 25 miles rather than 17-20 I think that will work...

I hadn't realized it had been that long, hope things are better now!

You'll get there, and you'll probably pass my mileage soon! I feel best at 100-120/week, so I never do more than that. I do even less in winter because the studded tires add about 50% to my time, so I'm happy with 60 mi/wk. As for rain, I was able to avoid most of it. Had a few misty rides, but nothing torrential.'02 Eddy Merckx Fuga, Selle An Atomica

You women are hot riders!
May was my first month of really riding, half on a crappy bike and half on a new bike. 107 miles. I am thrilled with myself! This is more miles than I have ridden in total since about 1980.

379 miles. Best May since 2004 (pre-accident in 2005).
I'll take it!
