I'm at 600 and if Viking and I make to Lotoja, hope to be at 1200 through June, July and August.

I've ridden twice. So I would say about 2 miles a month.

I need to get a ruling from you hardcore guys. I've been cycling to and from work every day lately. It's 6 miles each way. Can I say that I'm riding 60 miles/week or are those miles disqualified by virtue of the fact that they are split into such short, whimpy rides?

For rec riders such as us, they count.

Well, considering Utah's weather has been so crappy...it's hard to get any real riding in.

Supposed to be in the 90's today and Tuesday, and the 50's on Wednesday and Thursday....yep...a 30° drop in one day. That's been the story so far in Utah.

Am waiting for some consistent weather so I can start a long commute a few times a week.

That is why my average is so far down right now. But April was pretty good and may has been ok.

Well, considering I've never won any race since I entered masters, everybody is in my category of recreational athlete, unless they are paid for it. You haven't indicated any payments so I assumed you were in my lowly category.
