Goal #1 Achieved

The biking season is just coming into full swing for me. Unfortunately I got a late start because I wanted to work hard first this summer and make some money, then ease off and get into a nice rythm. Before this past week my average weekly mileage had been stuck around 20-30 miles. This week I have ridden 53 with the intention of riding more had my bike not been in the shop for half of it.

One of the goals of this season was much like the goal of the previous season: to get my 16 mile time to under 50 minutes. Today I set out to do this and finished with a time of 00:48:22.xxx! This means I averaged roughly 20 miles per hour over the entire course (if I did my math correctly) which is well above my previous best of 17mph average.

Now that I have knocked one item off my list it is time to continue and work on the others: weight loss and overall distance. Weight loss will come, I am sure of that, but my bike is definately hurting me on distance. It sucks my energy because of how much friction it has and is unreliable when ascending. My highest mileage to date is 40 miles, and the goal is to get to 75 miles by the end of the season.

Who knows, I may just do it.
