Riding time during May went pretty well. I was able to get in 12 rides for a total of 280 miles. Most importantly, I was able to get in a couple of longer rides, one ride of 45 miles (the Raven Rock Ramble) and one metric century of 62 miles (the CARA Ride for their Lives ride). These longer rides will be important to start getting in as it gets closer to September and my goal of doing a full century at least one of the days at the Bike MS ride in New Bern.
Looking ahead, I am targeting a couple more charity rides before September. The Cup and Cone ride in July, and possibly Bikefest 2010 in August.
I have also been thinking of tracking my weight and body fat more closely. As I was thinking about this, I came across an interesting product mentioned on another blog. The Withings WiFi scale. The blog of CD Rainmaker is running a contest to win this scale. Looks pretty interesting.
In addition to my riding, I am thinking of starting to run again. I went on my first run in a while yesterday. I usually run a few days a week during the late fall and winter when there is not enough daylight to ride after work, but maybe I should start to do a little cross training year round.
See you on the road.
