    March Cycling: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
    April Cycling: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
    May Cycling: 259.06 km (160.9 miles) + 45 min cycling inside
    June Cycling Inside: 215 minutes on bicycle on trainer in basement = 3 hours 35 min
    June Cycling Outside: 493.53 km (306.6 miles) in 1531 min cycling outside = 25 hours 31 min
    July Cycling: 130 km in 405 min + 280 min cycling indoors
    Aug Cycling: 129.25 km in 474 min + 225 min cycling indoors


    Spring has sprung ... or so they tell us. But hopefully with the longer daylight hours and potentially warming temps I might be able to get out there and ride more!!

    I'd like to be up and over 200 km cycling outside ... plus I'll probably end up doing a bit inside as well.
    Saturday 5 September -- 16 km (50 min) ... outside!
    A bit breezy but otherwise not too bad.
    Friday 11 September -- 35 minutes on the trainer!!
    Better than nothing.

    Almost there... wanted to get in a long ride today, but the weather didn't cooperate. Still, made up for quantity with quality. Got my first flat tire on the new bike, as I was hammering a bit too hard up a bridge to notice some broken glass, but managed to get it swapped out quickly and finished the ride. I guess it had to happen sometime.

    Had a couple of really fun days riding single track this weekend.

    I have been battling these rocks for a while now and this is the moment I finally figured out how to ride over them:

    Just a quick stretch with the dog tonight. The next 10 days will be rain, so it looks like I didn't reach my mileage goal. Other than that, I had a bunch of fun, increased my speed, strength, and endurance this month. Definitely a successful month on the bike.

    Tried to ride last night, but had 0 energy and wimped out. Was planning on doing 20km last night, but I already met my weekly goal so it would have just been gravy.

    September
    Goal: 333.34 km (207.13 m)
    Current total: 346.7 km (215.43 m)

    September 1-7: 112.32 km (69.8 m)
    September 8-14: 85.28 km (53 m)
    September 15-21: 70.4 km (43.75 m)
    September 22-28: 78.7 km (48.9 m)

    My "plan" is to get in another 60km (37.28 m) today/tomorrow which would put me at 400km (248.5 m) for the month.

    Wiped myself out with 2 expresso sessions (darn high score attempts) today, but managed to get in 34 miles in total. Just have my baseball commutes for tomorrow (split double-header) to wrap up my target for the month. All around good month as I hit my running (150 mile), lifting (9 sessions) and am almost done with my swimming goal as well.

    Got in 24 miles today just commuting to/from a split double-header and some errands. Done with my total. Not sure what I'll plan for October, as I have 2 races in November (olympic tri + half marathon) and don't know if I'll be spending more time up north (until my baseball team is knocked out of the post-season), or back in the hot flat south.

    9/2 - 44 miles
    9/4 - 51 miles
    9/5 - 6 miles

    Goal 300 km

    Total cycled in September : 241 km

    2 reasons: Some interesting activities came up that weren't bike compatible (too far/too late)
    The sun is setting way earlier now, forgot to take that into account...

    But still, it is a PR for km cycled in a month :smile:

    Set a reasonable goal for Sept, and didn't quite make it.

    200 mile goal, 178 miles biked.

    Not going to beat myself up about it though. Between bad weather and out of town work, there was little time left to make it happen. Made up the missed calorie burn on the elliptical on days I was out of light or it was too rainy to bike it.

    Have a hurricane heading this way now. I think I'll wait on an October goal to make sure the house is still here!

    September
    Goal: 333.34 km (207.13 m)
    Total: 381.07 km (236.78 m)

    Personal record for sure. Could not ride last night as it was raining and SUPER windy, so I did not hit the 400 mark like I hoped. Off to the October challenge though at this time of year riding is going to get sparse.

    September was a bust - heat rashes that took a few days to dissipate followed two weeks off to deal with a family emergency. Here is hoping for a better October.

    9/2 - 25.1
    9/3 - 16
    9/5 - 101.1
    9/11 - 25.6
    9/26 - 41.9
    9/30 - 15.5
