2009 bike mileage challenge

32.6 km/h today. Getting closer, but there is a law of diminishing returns.....

My wife and I rode our bicycles 16 mile one way to watch the Philadelphia Bike Race and then rode our bikes back home.. it might be the last time a bicycle race of its caliber be held in Philly.

Isn't the CoreState criterium held annually in Philly?

<edit> apparently past tense, should be "Wasn't", not "Isn't".<end>

The bike race in Philly has not been CoreState for a few years.. likely since the last millinium.. it used to be 3 events over 3 different dates/cities, but down to just 1 event since 2006.. there may not even be a race next year.

16 miles is exactly what each of my one way commutes is! How was the race? Was anyone who will be riding Le Tour there?

1300 km and finally I am starting to shed some weight. Down to 216 lbs now (height is 6'3")

The bad news is I have been consistently just below 30 km/h in average speed recently, it might have something to do with the heat!

Oh the shame....
It's rained in New England daily but for perhaps 10 days in June. I don't ride in the rain.
The nice days for riding are also nice days for working on completing my most recent diesel conversion, and driving gives me another 1/2 hour of working time before darkness.
June pedaling displacement miles: 40

Fourty. There I said it. Just TWO measly days of bicycle commuting last month.

I hate riding in the rain too but I think I will Wednesday.....otherwise I'll only get in one ride this week (Friday, should be sunny) and the guilt will be unbearable!

[Mike T]

At the end of this week I'll have over 1800 km. Still looking promising for > 3000 km this year.....
