    7/01 - 13.20 @ 17.8 mph (PM Commute)

    These numbers are *intimidating* but as a novice cyclist I've committed myself to cycling to work everyday. I can't work in miles but I'm aiming for 60km a week for July and see where we go from there! I've just seen that someone is posting in ride hours so I may try that in august! Happy cycling everyone :-)

    I can only get out once in a while, mostly on weekends, but I posted my longest and fastest ride this past July 4 weekend: 25 miles at just over 15 MPH. The beautiful rolling countryside with the hues of tan and green, and the wildflowers along the road really made it worthwhile.

    My goal is 200 miles. I am at 0 for the month. I have some work to do.... I am signed up for a 56 mile ride on August 1. That will equal my longest ride ever.
