I've biked 17 times so far this month, for a total of 233.6 miles in 25.49 hours. I missed a couple days because of the hurricane - driving rain and lightning keep me in, and paths under more than a foot of water make me ride on the side of RT 19 here in Florida, known as one of the most dangerous roads in the country. I did it a couple days, but went back to the sidewalks as soon as most of them were dry (one section is STILL underwater- great design, huh? I'm not on a bike, but on a tadpole (recumbent) trike.3

Finally got my broken Roubaix rebuilt!!
I used to call it "Ruby Red" but it looked like this after a car driver used me as a speed bump....
Now with new forks and some fast wheels it looks like this and has been renamed "Lazarus"...

First ride for September.
45.5 miles @ 16.1mph. Mostly quite a relaxed ride but did try a bit harder than usual on the hills (my weak point). Which is why I got 20 Strava PRs with a slow overall average speed.
Usually I ride solo but did this ride with a really good hill climber, hence trying harder on the hills.
I'm 168lbs and she's a petite 126lbs and I got a great lesson on the importance of power to weight ratio.
(In other words she made me look right a right old plodder!)
Sunday - 4.1 miles to the gym.
Weds - 43.9 miles taking in 3 big climbs.
Friday - 22 virtual miles on WattbikePro power meter trainer.
Sunday - 58.7 miles, same big three climbs but with a different beginning and end route.
Month to date = 174.2 miles.
Weds ride - Three of the big Surrey hill climbs and got one PR and two second bests on them, 43.9 miles and 2500' of elevation on a perfect sunny afternoon. This short hill is plain nasty and hits over 18% grade - highlighted climb on the graph.

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...
698 down, 52 left... going to be a tight race to the end of the month between life stuff and a very windy/rainy/cold forecast....0 -

108.9km (of 200km September goal) done.
I'm tempted to fill in the three long gaps between rides with my convenient excuses (travel/sick/travel), but that won't change the fact that I won't make my goal *sigh*. I'll try to make it to 150km at least.

Double shifts and working out of town at the moment so the only bike time I get is at night on the stationary bike in my workshop sometimes... Keeping at it when I CAN; next chances to get out on the roads are mid Oct though. Thinking of investing in a better spin bike as the current one is at a funny angle for my back.

Thank you.
Did think of repainting the forks but I wanted the bike to be like me - wearing its scars with pride!2 -
Ended up doing a shorter solo ride Friday after picking up race wheels Thursday (HED Jet 6+) to get used to how they felt on the flats before racing on them Sunday. With strong winds, I definitely felt how they both make you faster, and push you along (via sideways sailboat like pressure) which took some getting used to.
Brought the bike up to Augusta Saturday, and raced my IM 70.3 Sunday with a respectable 56.5 mile time trial (no drafting) at 22.2mph. The course was slightly long (due to a detour) but I raced it about 1.5mph faster than my last IM 70.3 despite and extra 600' of elevation on this course. Finished 11/260 for my age group and 40th out of 2600 amateur racers, so I'm good with the result, but recognize I'll need to be in the 23-24mph range to make it onto the podium and to the world championships. Regardless, it was a fun race with a great downriver swim, and a flat (but 90 degree hot) well supported scenic run.
