500 mile month
I did it. March 2011 was my first 500 mile month. March 2010 was my first month back on a bike and in contrast I only managed 45 miles for the same month last year!
To get the 500 miles wasn't easy as I'd not realised it was possible until a couple of days ago. Yesterday I worked out that I would be 7.77 miles short by the time I got home so wanted to add the extra miles to my commute home. The ride home was not pleasant as there was a 20mph head wind with gusts of up to 45mph! However, I persevered. My best ever month is now 501.27 miles.
Today is the start of #30daysofbiking. I'm hoping for another 500 mile month. Maybe I can better it and hit 600?
EDIT: A short video below showing how windy it was. The reason the picture is shaky is because I couldn't hold the camera still in the wind!
