An ice cold bicycle ride in the morning (video) and my weekly cycling stats

A cold ride in the morning

Today, I had planned a bicycle ride with some friend in the morning. It has been cold and foggy all week and this morning it wasn't any better, so I dressed up for the occasion. My Goretex lobster gloves are quite warm and I had put on some layers of clothing. The only things that got really cold after a while were my feet. And that even despite the fact that I had insulated covers over my cycling shoes. But especially driving along the canal the wind made it very cold. We decided to change the route a bit since the cold and fog also fogged up our cycling glasses.

During the ride we talked a bit about our plans to ride the Marmotte GranFondo in June; an epic ride of 177 kilometer with 5000 meters of elevation. We are about to make the final decision soon, but the outlook is positive.

Because of the cold and the fog we made a smaller round than we usually do. We ended up with nearly 40 kilomters on the meter.

Here is a short clip of the ride: https://youtu.be/hQvrMgb9lYk

Weekly stats & 2025 goal

I've set myself a goal this year to cycle at least 5000 kilometers. I didn't reach this same goal last year, but I intend to achieve it this year.

This week I commuted three days and made a smaller round today. This has resulted in a total distance of 138.69 kilometers. weeklystats.png

I'm nice on schedule since I have reached 5% of my goal and the year is also 5% underway today.

Do you keep also keep track of your cycling kilomters? Have you also set some yearly goals?
