April Update on 2025 Cycling Goals

Soooo ... it wasn't until mid-march that I shared my 2025 Cycling Goals, and now it is already mid-May.

As always, I'm fairly certain very few people care. I might be the only one who reads through these, but I do like to have a record of my progress.

I'm sure next year sometime I'll read this and be glad I have it.

Anyway ... as you may remember from 2025 Cycling Goals, I have 5 goals:

#MetricCenturyEveryMonth / #8200MilesIn2025 / #16EverestsIn2025 / Triple Bypass Ride / #GCCUSA

1. #MetricCenturyEveryMonth
   I got 2 Metric Centuries done in April and have already gotten 1 in May.
   
   
2. #8200MilesIn2025
   As of the end of April, I had logged 2,610 miles. This put me "behind" by 86 miles for the year. However, I will catch up now that we are entering the warm-weather months.
   
   
3. #16EverestsIn2025
   16 x 29,032 = 464,512 feet. At the end of April I had logged 156,679 feet climbed. This puts me ahead of the goal by 3,963 feet. 
   
   
4. Triple Bypass Ride
   Part of the reason I'm ahead on the #16EverestsIn2025 goal is because I've done a few long-climb rides training for the Triple Bypass. The biggest one was 4th Lookout Mtn Climb of 2025, in which I climbed 7,034 feet over 79 miles.
   
   
5. #GCCUSA
   So far, I've raised $676 of my $2,500 goal. I have not really done any "Fund Raising" yet, so I would say I'm doing pretty well so far.
