I’ll be getting a garmin next week, so I can start posting elevations.[/quote]  
606.23mi/968.38km I started tapering for racing. More intensity than distance.  
Next week I’m going to get into a new routine.

Just because we are all pussies I thought I would post something that a 65+ year old guy put up for January

Here are my stats for January 2011,  
All but 50 miles on the Fixed  
Year to Date Stats  
Distance 1,360 mi  
Time 85:17:14  
Elev Gain 47,732ft  
Total Rides 38

January is a lowish mileage month for him since there are only brevets in the 200-300km range happening.

Nope, a guy 15+ years his senior. He has some red fixed gear with bullhorns, I’m not sure if it is a custom or not. My friends ran into him cilmbing Hamilton the other day, he was some amount of miles into his 130 mile Saturday fixed gear ride.

So it would seem. He was way way ahead of me for the first 3/4s of the Death Valley Double but then relaxed his pace quite a bit on the 7 mile climb and 15 mile descent. He still finished 1+ hour ahead of me.

Great example of how the best performance upgrade for cycling is having the time to do it. Unfortunate for us young, working stiffs.

January totals:

Distance: 517.62 miles  
Elevation Gain: 21,411 feet

Starting to feel the itch to push it again. I’ll probably get my first 1K month in March and build up from there.

Slow start, 45/3000’. Mileage is going to be low and climbing is going to be high as I’m focusing on mountain biking for the next few months.

83/10075

Mountain biked on Thursday, Saturday and today. Each ride included a 2.1 mile 1100’ climb. It is…hard.

I missed a couple short commute miles but for the most part I’ve only been riding dirt.
