30 rides in 30 days - Day 3

No ride today. I suck.

30 rides in 30 days - Day 2

You know what, I don't think I'm going to be able to fit in an hour a day without bending the rules a little...

I had a Cycle Forum meeting at the Town Hall tonight at 6:15, so I went a long way round to get to it from work, going via home to drop off my new laptop. It was an hour's worth of riding, if you include the time I was at home eating cake and seeing Sarah and the kiddies as riding.

Looking at the rest of this week: the parts I need to finish the Solitude should have arrived today so I should build that up tonight; Sarah's out tomorrow night and I need to be in for the kids and pack ready for SSUK; and I'm spending Friday at work or on the train to Bristol; so, getting in an hour a day ight be trickier than I thought...

Distance: 5.5 miles
Surface: Road
Time: (not) 1 hour
Weather: bit chilly
Bike: Inbred Singlespeed (with 2.1″ tyres, 32:16)

(Also rode to/from work/town today, which is another 5 miles.)

30 rides in 30 days - Day 1

My original plan was to take a long way home from work for my first ride, but I had to get home quickly/early. Instead, I went out for an hour just as the sun was setting, after cooking tea, cutting the grass and reading bedtime stories to E and L.

I just did a short ride out to Barmpton on the road, off-road to Brafferton and then back home on the road. Saw some cows, loads of sheep a few rabbits and a pheasant.

Time for a beer.

Distance: 10 miles
Surface: Road/off-road
Time: 1 hour
Weather: Nice and warm evening
Bike: Inbred Singlespeed (with 2.1″ tyres, 32:16)

(Also rode to/from work today, which is another 5 miles.)

30 rides in 30 days

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to ride my bike every day for 30 days.

I ride almost every day anyway, for getting to work and back, but for the purposes of this task/challenge a ride only counts if it's at least an hour long. Two rides of 30 minutes don't count - it must be a continuous hour.

I'm going to be riding some longer routes home from work, fitting in some off-road riding too, rather than just heading home by the shorted route.

Obviously, I'll report on my progress here.

Oh, I got the idea from the Swobo blog: How to avoid the bummer life: 30 rides in 30 days.
