    20 miles today. Knees are killing me but I'll make my goal I think.
    125.5 for the month with a goal of 150.

    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.



    MTD 85 miles.
    Goal is 100 miles.
    Remaining is 15 miles.

    I am not sure if this is the correct place to post. I have a good bike. I tried using it about a year ago and got such terrible butt burn from it..
    how do you get over that? I would like to cycle, when I was younger it's how i got all my exercise in.. but the last couple times I've tried to ride after not riding for years it hurt so much on the saddle.

    How can I get back into cycling?

    I only started cycling a month or two ago and I just found the more frequent you cycle the better it gets really, work through the burn the first few times and it'll get much better. If I take a few days off or do a longer cycle I still get some butt burn though (lol love that term, I call it *kitten* ache)

    Well, I just got a new Trek Fuel EX 6 for my birthday because my man loves me, and since getting it two weeks ago today, I have took it downhill riding at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg Idaho, did 30 miles on the Hiawatha trail in Idaho and have logged 3-8 miles of rugged single track 5-6 days a week.
    I just started riding in May of this year (2 months ago) and have taken six vacation days off from work to ride! I went from having to walk the damn thing most of the way up any incline and basically being passed by six year olds on the downhill part, to ripping up intermediate level trails with some ease and tearing down ski resort mountains and expert level single track trails in my hometown in Montana. I guess what I am trying to say is I AM IN LOVE WITH MOUNTAIN BIKING!!! :-) Next year, I plan to do some small races throughout the season, then aim for a bigger one at the close of the season. :-)

    Woohoo! Doesn't it feel awesome to conquer a climb you've avoided for a few weeks? I've had a few of those myself, lately (:

    I love that people ride their bikes to work and back. That's awesome.

    Good job! I don't do hills. Ever. (I'm disabled and just pleased that I can ride a fairly flat route.)
