August goal = 100 miles.
8/1 - 0
8/2 - 7.0 miles.
8/3 - 7.2 miles.
8/4 - 1.2 miles. I mowed today instead of riding.
8/5 - 1.0 miles. I finished mowing today instead of riding. Neighbor a couple doors down got hit on his bike Friday (hit & run). He didn't even fall, but wound up with a compound fracture of his left elbow. Be careful out there people. AND WEAR A HELMET.
8/6 - 5.4 miles outside on a rainy day. Found a farmer's dog dead on the side of the road. Sad.
8/7 - 6.2 miles.
8/8 - 5.5 miles. My first ride without my Walkman (external speakers, not earbuds). I require music.
8/9 - 0 miles. Rest day.
8/10 - 10.0 miles. That's my longest ever ride. I've done 10 miles before, but split in two. It was also my fastest ride, averaging 11.8mph. It was hard. I am a wimp. That is okay.
8/11 - 4.4 miles. Had to cut my route short because I was again attacked by dogs. Got my leg pretty good. The really scary thing about it is that since I'd never seen those dogs before on that route, they scared the crap out of me and I turned my bike such that if there had been a car coming from either direction (50 mph speed limit road), I would have been dead. I cannot ride fast enough to out-run the dogs. I almost cried.
8/12 - 6 miles (another new route).
8/13 - 4.9 miles between storms (barely got home in time).
Goal = 100 miles.
Accomplished MTD = 58.8 miles.

Hi I can't believe I haven't found this thread before. I am excited to join in on the fun, I love to ride my road bike and cruiser bike around town.
I cant remember what I rode last week so I'll just start with this week;
8/12 - 7 miles
8/13 - 6 miles
Total: 13 miles so far. I am riding 27 on 8/25 so I want to build up to that 0 -
I just found this thread! I'm so excited! I've been looking to get back into riding for fitness. My other half was an avid biker when he was younger and we want to do more together. This is perfect!
My question to some of you ladies (and gents) is what you bike on?? Stationary, road bikes, spin, or whatever?
Looking forward to getting started!0 -
I was hoping to get back on my bike this summer holiday but we have just got an 8 week puppy so time is a bit limited. I would like to do 50 miles if I can.0
-
8/12 1.62 walk
8/13 1/57 ride (Finally got my 2 neighbors to join me- that's all they had!)
8/14 6.02 run/walk

Today was a very off day was not in the mood to go biking, still pushed myself to do something did not get very far at all. I was also wondering is there a way of calculating your calories burned when your riding against the wind. I know I sweat a heck of a lot more the windy days than the days there is little to no wind. I guess I would have to purchase one of those HRM monitors to get more accurate reading for calories burned.
