I got in another 12 miles this morning. For some reason, it felt a lot harder and I was feeling pretty weak when I got home (I couldn't even get my helmet off, my fingers wouldn't work:blushing: ).

Newbie here. Used to ride around my old college 4 times a day (10 or so miles) and loved it. Then moved to a city where there was really no place to bike. Boooooo. So I just moved to a beautiful area in the suburbs and there's an old train track they redid as a bike/walking path so it's 30 miles of available travel in the woods and it's only a mile or so from my house
I love it! Just did 4 miles down it then turned around and came back.
What are you guys using to track your speed, mileage, etc? I used Runtastic on my windows phone and it's pretty awesome. Was thinking of buying the pro version for 5 bucks. Just wondering if there was something better out there before doing that. Here are the stats from the application:
7.52 mi Distance
00:44:26 Duration
Avg 10.15 mph
Max 19.0 mph
341 kcal Calories
I don't have a smart phone, so I use my computer. MapMyRide.com is pretty cool. I just found it last week and i love it because I live on the edge of town and can map cool new rides with that site. Just did my first new ride today (7.65 miles) and it was awesome.0 -
7/1 - 5 miles outside.
7/2 - 5 miles outside.
7/3 - Rest day.
7/4 - 0
7/5 - 3 miles stationary.
7/6 - 5 miles outside, where it was only 77 degrees and cloudy.
7/7 - 3.2 miles stationary.
7/8 - 3 miles outside.
7/9 - 0
7/10 - 5 miles outside after a storm.
7/11 - 5.2 miles outside. I was bitten by a dog on today's ride. Not bad, but I had to pedal really hard when two dogs came after me. Cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and I should be fine. One of the dogs on my old bike route was killed today because it bit somebody (I had to change routes because two dogs kept trying to bite me). We have leash laws, but people don't seem to care.
7/12 - 0
7/13 - 5.6 miles outside.
7/14 - 5 miles outside in between the downpours.
7/15 - 4 miles outside. Half way through the month and just not quite half way to my goal.
7/16 - 6 miles outside.
7/17 - 0
7/18 - 7 miles outside.
7/19 - 7 miles outside.
7/20 - 7 miles outside for the third day in a row. Woot. But unlike the other two days, today was during the heat of the day. Not good for me. Dusk is much better.
7/21 - 2 miles outside. Short ride since it was already dark out and I mowed too.
7/22 - 0
7/23 - 7 miles outside after the storms passed. Nice and cool. Though muggy.
7/24 - 7 miles outside between thunderstorms. I'm getting good at reading radar. There's a 100 mile ride going on here Saturday. I'll be happy to get my 100 miles for the month. The ride goes almost right by my house but I won't be up in time to cheer them on.
7/25 - 0 (mowed instead)
7/26 - 0 again today since I mowed more and did other yard work. Tomorrow morning, the local century ride goes almost through my front door. I'll be sleeping, but I wish them all well.
7/27 - 3.5 miles outside. Looks like I will reach 100 miles by month-end. Woot.
7/28 - 0 - not riding today since I mowed again. And, yesterday was really only 3.5 miles instead of 4 so I've changed the totals.
7/29 - 6.7 miles outside and my pace has picked up a bit.
7/30 - 7.65 miles outside on new route and I was hauling *kitten* (by MY standards).

Hi, Everyone... Just found this thread, so I'll be looking for one for August. I recently made the switch from a hybrid bike, riding mostly on rail trails, to a road bike on real roads. My goal is to do a century ride by the end of the season (in the midwest, that could be anywhere from mid-September to November!). I track everything with Endomondo. If you guys don't mind, I'll post my July progress for what it's worth...

Had to ride 16 miles in to work yesterday and then rode 42 miles home again (literally setting off in the opposite direction), but it was worth it.
1680 kilometers / 1010 miles DONE AND DUSTED. Half the distance of the Tour de France ridden in the same month!
Day off today (my first day out of the saddle since May 12th) - came in to work on four wheels for a change - though I have to say, sitting in traffic on the way I did wonder what I was doing leaving the bike at home! Congrats all.0 -
Great job in July, Everyone! Here is the link for August:
