For the longest time, I've left it looking like I never did finish my goal. Actually, I did, and I've had these scraps of paper with data on them floating around my desk. So while it's not pretty or elaborate, here are the stats for the last three days:
Day 29 - Saturday
I rode up and down the hills of East Bradford's park below our house. There's a nice gravel trail that drops a couple of hundred feet down to a small stream from a field at the top, so I repeated that a few times before heading home.
B: M
T: 40.08
O: 42.8
M: 39.0
A: 9.4
D: 6.38
Day 30 - Sunday - Around the block with Maya -
B: M
T: 10.53
O: 44.2
M: 10.8
A: 7.7
D: 1.40
Day 31 - Monday Memorial Day - Down the Struble Trail with Pat -
B: M
T: 39.09
O: 49.8
M: 15.8
A: 8.4
D: 5.59
So...the mileage for May was 114.9 miles on the road bike and 37.6 miles on the mountain bike for a grand total of 152.5 miles.
Contrasting this month with last year (since I do keep records of all my rides) - I rode about the same distance this year on the road bike (114.9 in 2010 vs. 108.5 in 2009) but WAY fewer miles on the mountain bike: 386.4 in 2009 (329.2 of that was on my Pittsburgh to DC trip) vs. 37.5 in 2010.
Moral of the story: making a committment to ride put me out there many more days and evenings than I ever would have without doing so. Many of those rides were only 1.4 miles with Maya, but she sure benefitted from it too. This was a great thing to do, and I'll try it again...soon!

Way to go, Chuck! I think you and Maya need one of these.
