No time for a nice ride today, but I did use the bike to go to the grocery store. A rack would be nice, but was able to fit everything in my messenger bag. Something is better than nothing and this beat driving to the store.

Finally got to crank the pedals last night. Might be the only time for the next 4 days. Don't know if I can make my goal now or not.

I guess I'm a little late to this thread. I just completed my first Century ride on Saturday, which was a fitness goal of mine for this year. I trained hard for the century, averaging 60 - 100 miles per week. (Most weeks it was 100 miles.) I don't like to ride after dark as I think it's very dangerous. We have had some serious accidents with bicycles at night around here. I do have a flashing rear reflector I use when the sun starts to go down (before sunset). I need to get a little headlight, too, but they can be distracting to drivers, so I prefer the reflectors and a small flashing rear light.

@cricketkate - welcome back to the (your) cycling thread!
Got in a handful of machine miles on bikes on the cruise ship the past few days as I did some traveling to the western caribbean for some scuba diving. Now that I'm back on dry land today (although it still feels like it is moving) I finally decided to let loose on the TT bike, and with fresh legs managed to hold 20+MPH for about 8 miles of my ride today going into the wind while staying in a pretty comfortable HR range (Z2-Z3). Definitely feeling much more comfortable on the aero bars, but I'll get the bike re-tuned in another 2 weeks as it isn't cleanly shifting up to 8th/9th gears and I may re-dial in a more aero position now that I have more flexibility in my back.

I've been AWOL lately, my teen sons trimmed the hedges and cut the cable and I was without internet for about a week! Haha. KIDS!
Here are my stats for September so far:
9/3 20.92
9/5 43.49
9/6 7.73
9/8 15.27
9/10 20.85
9/12 31.75
9/19 39.02
9/24 17.92
Total so far: 196.95 which isn't so bad since my goal is 200 for September! I have a 25 mile ride planned for Saturday, so I'm good to reach my goal.
WARNING - Please make sure to hydrate. I believe I was dehydrated going into my 39 mile ride last week. I ended up feeling drunk afterward, then ran fever all day and felt like crap. I believe it was heat exhaustion due to dehydration. Anyway, be careful out there.0 -

Blew a tire and damaged my wheel so I was down a bike for one week. Rode my MTB for the duration but no long distances and now a rainy weekend ahead so I doubt I will make my goal. No biggie. I was able to ride the UCI road course last night I then watched the pro riders ride it today. Pretty cool.

Got in another intense short ride on the TT bike. Shifting in the small cogs in the back is still a bit dirty, but I was able to sustain 20+ MPH for 14 miles today after a short warmup, keeping my heart rate around 80% of my max even in humid 95 degree weather. Should be able to get in a few hundred more miles of cable stretching workouts before they can fix it at my 60 day tune up in another month.
A friend may twist my arm into joining him at a double ironman next year (Florida double-anvil), but I'll need to ramp my mileage up before trying that sort of distance. Ok with the idea of 224 flat miles on the bike, but the 52 of running afterwards doesn't seem like my idea of fun.
