June 1st Ride and weekly distance goal hit for first week in June

I Did the first 50 miles at 20MPH the next three were town miles for an average of 16MPH. All in all this was a great ride. with some wind from the West. The cadence sensor is acting up, probably need to readjust the distance between the sensor and magnet or perhaps the battery is dying, its over a year old.

The biggest deterrent I have from doing better is foot pain. I get some severe sharp pain in my left foot, sometimes on my right one. My foot will also go numb which I don't mind as much.

Below are the stats that were captured from the Garmin 705 GPS:

May 30th ride Memorial day and speed goal met

Nice late morning ride, although very hot with slight wind from the South. Heart rate average is a little low since the sensor was acting up a bit.

The Musashi is the pocket rocket! I Met the 50 miles speed goal at 20MPH+. I wasn't expecting to meet this goal till later in June. New Speed goal set to 60 miles under 3 hours.

May 28th Ride and new goals set

This was one of those unusual days where I just didn't feel like riding at all. The weather was nice enough, although overcast all day. I finally pulled it together around 5:00 in the evening and rode a bit. The 7 mph winds from the South didn't help any. Once the ride was complete though I was happy I did go. Especially since I kept a good average speed when I wasn't even motivated to ride.

Looking at the ten day weather forecasts, it looks like the daily storms are finally taking a break. I only see two days of predicted storms out of 10. With that in mind I'll start setting my weekly goals starting next week: I have a weekly goal set for 100 miles for each week in June.

Since I hit my speed goal of 40 miles round trip at greater then 20 mph: I have a new speed goal: 50 mile round trip at 20 mph.

May 24th Ride and goal met.

After work the temps were great and the storms had passed us by. There were only slight winds coming from the South. Perfect evening for a ride. I met my desired goal of riding a 40 mile round trip in under 2 hours, I had a whole 38 seconds to spare! Not bad for a 48 year old that's a little overweight. I don't think I have ever ridden 40 miles non-stop in under 2 hours. This also makes over 700 miles for the year so far.  Below are the stats:

May 22nd ride

Took a Sunday morning ride. Weather was nice and very sunny, this is the first ride that I was really concerned about getting sunburned so I put on plenty of sunscreen and went for a shorter ride.
Here are the stats:

May 20th Ride

For the first time this week the weather gave way to a beautiful day with only a slight breeze blowing once in a while. I set a goal for myself to get 40 miles in under 2 hours. I was close today with only 2 and a half minutes to shave off.
The Stats are below:

May 10th ride

Finally some weather warm enough to ride without the jacket! Its in the 80's today. I Started at 6:00 after work and rode for two hours and 12 minutes. Wind was from the West and South. I pushed on the uphill climbs staying in the larger front gear. Ended up with some foot pain in my left foot, perhaps from pushing too hard.
