41.2 MILES

 5 days non stop cycling 209.5 miles   Not feeling crazed yet, but I'm sure I will.
I now have 389.78 miles left.
I'm still going to try for the $50 gift card... ha ha ha.  I want to see how far I can push my self until I literally can't do it.    13 more days to see how far I can go. 
So far I've burned 11,850 calories in these 5 days.  
Listening to JAUZ  Jaws Theme while I'm blogging.    Just found this song and I'm digging the deep base.

33 MILE, PIZZA & A GREAT DAY!

Had a great day today.  First order of operation today was PIZZA!  Hung out with my friend Jane Lipkina at FARM STAR.  Ordered the Veggisaurs and got bread stick to boot.   Awesome food.  And what better way to start the day.
Yeah even though yesterday my average speed was 11 mph, today I was able to go a little faster why?  No fricken wind. LOL   
This is my fourth day of riding straight 168.4 miles so far and beat my total for last December which was only 104.7 miles.
Other wise I feel fine, the only complaint was getting used to my bike seat after not being on it for a while.
Had a women look at me and call me a Bitch.  Love it, I eat that stuff up it's my fuel and it give me energy.  So bring it on.    
 In other news through a friend who walks the park people have been seeing river otters.  Squeee     I would love to see them.   I'm going to assume there out in the early morning.   My friend told me that there was a women jumping crazily and yelling excitingly River otters.  What a magical moment.  

Now for the cool gift I got from my friend. I love it.  It says "Life is like riding a bicycle in order to keep your balance you must keep peddling. :D  And a candle so I can light my way and chocolate so I don't run out of energy.    

As for riding tomorrow on with the show.....I'm going to keep going....                                                         
33.0 miles

Max Average.  
Yeah toward the end of my ride I was feeling good so I sprinted.   26.4, but not to far though.

30.1 Miles & FUCKING STRONG WIND!

 This is the face of pain and holy shit is the wind strong.  I did a Friday group ride a while ago and it was so windy that our faces were all covered with dust and the gust were so strong that it was pushing the bikes sideways.  Well um this was even winder.   I just look at the Chico AccuWeather and  NNW 18 mph with 39 mph wind gust.  And to top that off there is a red flag warning on there site that states here is what it says from the site.
Chico Weather Advisorie:
...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM PST THIS EVENING...

* TIMING...Through this afternoon

* WINDS...North winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts to up to 45 mph.
Along the west side of the Sacramento Valley extending into the
Coastal Range. Sustained winds up to 35 mph are possible with
gusts to 50 mph.

* IMPACTS...Difficult driving conditions for small cars and high
profile vehicles. Local tree damage and power outages possible.
Loose outdoor objects might be blown around.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 25 to 39 mph are
possible with gusts 40 to 57 mph. Winds this strong can make
driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use
extra caution.

 So yeah like I said fuck strong wind.  This ride was toughest I've ever done, it was like riding up hill for 2:23. I was on the bike.  I had to take more breaks.   I also got hit in the face a few time by falling branches.  Ouch.  And as I came around a corner there was this huge limb that was in half, just enough room for my to ride in between in. Whew.  That would have definitely tossed me off the bike.   
Wait a minute?  Well this is not a hurricane force, but I got to take what I can get.  I can say I rode in red flag weather?  LOL    This is my pay back for missing the Friday group ride.  
40 miles in this.  ha ha ha ha
50?  LOL ha ha ha  LOL  NO! 
30.1 miles  it took every thing I had to keep pushing forward. 

Oh yeah the Canadian Geese, stopped to catch my breath and take pictures beautiful geese. 


 You could say it was a tad windy.
 Back to normal.


Crazed for coffee after windy ride.   It was an Americano with whip cream and milk.   And yes I deserved it.

55.3 MILES

 Well crap.  All ready to go, headed out the door and at 0.8 miles sssssssssss flat back tire.  Ughhh.  I walk home and was determined to change as fast as I could.  Pop off half the tire, didn't even bother with trying to get the other side to release.  Got the tube out pretty darn quick, it's was not a thorn it was a pinch flat.  So I got the new tube out pump it up a bit and stuffed it in all the way around.   And to my dismay about three inches of it would not fit in. 👀   Huh? I don't remember this happening last time, so I kind of panicked, I didn't just want to shove it in there and then blow it up only to get another flat, because of inserting incorrectly.    Hopped in the car and took Chris back tire too and stopped off at Sport LTD to let the professionals handle it.  Left Chris tire and I got mine back fast.   What I really wanted to do was jump on the bike and head up the hill, yeah I would be mega dropped, but then I decided not to, had no desire to be stuck out in the sticks by my self.   I need my sticks to be close to home so I rode in the park in circles.  Was going to do 33 miles, but was not feeling that bad so I keep going.  And yeah by the time I got to 47 miles I was so sore.  I took a break to get Chris tire.  Slapped it on his bike and we were off.     Yay riding with my hubby very sorely, I stood up and peddled on the bike and it was so cold Burrrrrrr. The soreness is on the bike, once I get off I'm fine.   I going to opted for 33 miles tomorrow.    And another thing I'm not going to the gym till after the new year.    Getting to my goal is going to take every thing I have.    
Now ask me how my thighs feel.   They feel super huge! 
Ok my speedometer is working fine.  Now you might ask why I'm bring this up. 
Because my Max speed is 62.0  WHhhhhaaat!
Holy crap.  Half way through the ride I look down and 62 mph.  Hell were was I?   UFO? Missing time.  Hell I didn't know I had it in my to go that fast and still be alive.   LOL 
Well every thing is sound so it's just a glitch.   Or is it?

50 Miles & Feeling Great

 Great ride today, started out warm then got a bit chilly.    Suck to the park and rode over toward Sky way just to break things up.   Did a weigh in today wanted to see how much I actually gained.  A whopping 6 pound.  So yeah I'm not that worried, that will come off easily.  
Started out my ride with a elderly lady giving me the crazy finger swirl, using both fingers and pointing at me.    Rolling my eyes.    Today ride was not about going fast, nor did I do any sprints.   I'm just going to chip away at 549.28  miles I have left.    Going to join the Friday group ride tomorrow for a nice up hill climb.

Grand total for miles on bike's 5,644.28, sense 4-2-2016.
On the Airen alone I have put 4,264.05 miles.

BURR & SHIT!

If anything going to be a challenge it's going to be riding in the chilly morning air.  When your on your bike the chilly air intensifies.   Yesterday was perfect weather, today it's very chilly.    My legs are starting to speak to me, because I'm not climbing the ladder and moving around.  So yeah I didn't do a bike ride today needed to tend to hubby who was frazzled from finals at Chico State.   Going to do the Friday ride and were going up hill. I'm not delusional I'm going to get dropped, big time.  
Beatniks.  😐     Or as I like to call it Moldniks.  If there is mold once there mold twice.  So yeah not eating the food.    I've had food poisoning and it's something I do not want to experience again.    How?  Well it was one of those weird days where I had just got done doing the Thursday night market and I was burnt out, my hubby and I just looked at each other and when (****) let just get something at Wendy's, it's fast and it's on the way home.   So yeah that's how.   Bleh.   

Well I'm happy......?..... Ok now I really have a challenge.  I completely for got beating my Goal for the end of the month. And just look it up as of right now.   Here the low down.    Last year I road 3,096.78 miles.   So far for this year I have road 2,497.5 miles.  I have 599.28 miles to go! 😳  And I got two week and four day left.  
   Well I'm going to do my darnedest to do 3,096,78 miles in 6 month, rather than 1 year.  If I don't do it phtttt.  Big deal.  Time to get my cray cray on.  Oh wait.  I am already cray cray.  Never mind.  Wish me luck and if you find me on the side of the road please prop me up on my bike.
