It’s that time where I reflect back in my cycling and weight loss progress for the previous month. The month of February was really tough so I was hoping for great progress come March and that’s what I saw. I didn’t ride as much as I wanted to but I did ride further than the previous month. By far, the most progress was in my weight. Read on to see how much.

Another month has come and gone so it’s time for my monthly report on my cycling and weight loss. I wasn’t too thrilled about writing this post because I’m not happy with my February results. At all. In short I feel like I totally failed last month. Especially on the weight loss front.

Last month my goals were simple – lose 3 pounds, ride 390 miles, and start core training. I failed at all three. The only thing I did accomplish was not having a soft drink bringing my total to 60 days without one.

I basically stopped doing these monthly reports when I dropped off the face of the planet in October last year. They’re good posts though because they help me plot my progress, reassess goals, and let you know what’s going on. And, just maybe, they’ll inspire a few folks too. So, I decided to start them again and with January now over it’s time to look back.

Well, my training is wrapping up this week as my first century bicycle ride draws near. Today I wanted to share with you what I’ll be doing this last week before the big ride. Stuff like press conferences, sponsorship signings, and pics with perspective podium girls. Ha, ha! Just kidding.

Sorry folks but I’m behind on my posting. Things have been a little crazy around the hacienda, work, and needing to devote time to the riding. All-in-all things are going great and I’m going to give you a quick update on the training as I prepare for the Jacksonville Tour de Cure on May 21, 2011.

If you’ve been cycling for any length of time chances are that you’ve heard of Intervals. The word ‘interval’ or ‘intervals’ is usually tossed around while folks are talking about their training. For instance, you might see on DailyMile a cyclist describe their last ride as being 3×8 Intervals at RPE 7 with a 10 minute RBI. Makes perfect sense right? In this post I’m going to explain what Intervals are, the different types, and why they’re good for your riding.
