Welcome to our September Cycling Thread! If you are new to posting on this thread, or if you are new to cycling, We welcome you! If you are returning from a previous thread, We welcome you, too.
This thread is for anyone who rides a bike. Do you bike to work? Do you pull your children to the park? So you ride weekends? Do you spin, at home or the gym? Do you race crits, ironman, or centuries? Or, are you just starting out and remembering how much fun you had biking when you were a kid? However you choose to push your pedal, you are welcome on this thread.
Although I'm aiming for a megametre (1000km/621 miles) of cycling this month, there are no rules to how or what you post or what distance/time/goal you challenge yourself to. You may post miles, minutes, # of rides, what the scenery looks like, anything. Whatever will motivates you to get on your bike.
Cheers

Made it through 800 miles last month, but need to taper for my ironman 70.3 on 9/25, so dropping my goal to another megameter (1000 km/621 miles).2

Off to a decent start. Quick dash into work in the morning (I was running late, so took the short course) followed by a slow-ish but long ride home - my first 20+ miler for ages, and felt so 'in the zone' I could have gone on for ages.
Thu 01 - 32.57 miles

You are all very inspiring. The old saying goes "Its like riding a bike - you never forget". I have just taken cycling up again and its been about 45 years since I did any seriously, and probably 10 years since I did any riding at all. Im not ashamed to say my spangly new bike is a peddle assist bike but there are a lot of hills around me and I would never manage it without. That said it is still a great workout. I am only managing around 7 to 10 km per day....we all have to start somewhere and my challenging part is cornering because Ive done a lot of skiing and learning to lean in to the turns and not out is difficult. Courage.9

Transitioning this month to a daily cycling commute - 12 kms one way - let's see how it goes.5
-
No riding today, the weather just sucks :-/ Went to the gym instead and tried some new movements which were great!1
-
The minute I can start cycling again, I'll be logging here.
I did manage about a 1 km walk today to and from the bus (0.5 km each way) when I went to get bloodwork done ... but that exhausted me so much, I took a 2-hour nap when I got home. I don't see cycling happening for several more days.2 -
Back after travels and in for September!
Weather today looks blustery .
I am cycling to the architectural antiques dealer to look for an old mangle to convert into an etching press. I love my bike. On the 31st it took me to visit the blacksmith who will convert the mangle. He accepted the job then told me how much he hates cyclists. I think it was his awkward way of telling me to be careful. I am a good customer of his after all.0 -
Happy to find this thread! I don't have a road bike -- just a mountain bike, though! The miles come a little harder for me. My goal is 250 this month. May the light and the weather be amenable!1
-
Need a kick in the pants. Weather has been so oppressive for so long, motivation to ride has been steadily waning. Not to mention that the "big" events this month, I'll have to skip (Sunrise Century, tomorrow).
I'll try for 320 mi. anyway1 -
I'm joining in since fall is the start to my "season". I've slacked off too much this summer and it's time to get on it. I have a 3 day, 151 miler in a couple of weeks, so I think I can shoot for 300. Now if I can only remember to actually record my miles...1

I can join in... I'd like to hit 750km this month; only made 700 for August, but a little cooler weather will hopefully let me enjoy the long rides a little more.1

A little fore-taste of autumn/winter to come - a mixture of headwind, light rain, drizzle and lashing rain.
Fri 02 - 19.93 miles
MTD 52.5 / 250, YTD 1763.37 / 2500
Shorter than I'd intended today, due to wussing out in the rain, but did get a gym session in as well so I'll call that a win.
Good to see a clutch of new participants this month - welcome @columbus2015, @sohosocialclub , @sherryrichie, @denversillygoose, @dpwellman , @2run2ski, @GammaTuna, @smyle5, @KareninLux !
