Summer is over, it started getting cold and rainy, and I promptly got a cold
Cycling in the rain when I'm already a little sick sounded like a stupid idea, so I took the car to work end of last week. But today the sun was back, and I couldn't resist - who would want to take the car on a cool and sunny autumn day?

82.3km (of 200km September goal) done . A few more days of travelling planned end of this week/beginning of next; I don't think I'll make it this month. *sigh*

Back on the bike after holidays, had my first H&S* test on the way to work, when some d!ckhead pulled into traffic and left me with a 6" gap of road, which is considerably less than the width of my bike. Fortunately, (a) was able to grab 2 solid handfuls of brakes and (b) was dry so the brakes actually worked. I did manage to catch up to the driver at a set of lights a few hundred yards later and 'explain' exactly what they'd done wrong.

This week is going to be a real stop-start one, due to stuff. Going to be tight to get even that reduced monthly target.

Looks like plenty of progress against goals for much of the group over the past week!
With my IM 70.3 this weekend, I've been mostly focusing on intensity instead of distance, and have been sticking with shorter harder rides. That focus alongside new tires/tubes for my tri bike (along with a tuneup) have been keeping my average over 20, with 2 solo interval sessions, and a group ride this morning. Debating if I want to do my Friday team hammerfest as it is a bit close to my race. Still, my tri plan calls for some intervals that day, so I may just join for the first 10 mile section where the paceline usually goes 28-30mph, pull twice, then turn around and go home to ensure I have some gas in the tank for Sunday.
9/3 - 19 miles
9/4 - 12 miles
9/5 - 14 miles
9/6 - 30 miles (expresso + baseball commute)
9/7 - 28 miles (errands + baseball commute)
9/8 - 100 miles (Pittsburgh - Rockwood on GAP trail @ 14mph)
9/9 - 107 miles (Rockwood-Hancock on GAP/C&O trail @ 15.5mph)
9/10 - 112 miles (Hancock-DC @ 14.5mph)
9/14 - 20 miles
9/15 - 5 miles (train station home)
9/18 - 19 miles (trainer sufferfest during Sunday night football)
9/19 - 34 miles (w. intervals - testing new tires)
9/21 - 33 miles (tri team ride)

Up to 546km for the month so far. Lots of life stresses eating into my riding time, so it's going to be a push to hit 750...1 -
