    I wasn’t that fast😜, but I got 41 miles in in just under three hours.
    I really pushed myself on this one and it felt really good.
    Brings my month total to 249.74 🚴🏻‍♂️🤘🏼

    80km in the dales including two savage climbs (fleet moss and park rash). Surprised myself by getting a Strava top 10 on fleet moss :ozftvvs3f4m3x.jpg

    There's a UK book of the 100 best cycling climbs in the country and they both get 9/10 ratings in there, I'd never dared try either of them before!

    Noticing a definite uptick in cycling performance thanks to my recent higher volume and increased focus on hill climbing. Pulling higher gears, losing less momentum uphill and setting lots of Strava PRs on familiar roads I've been riding for years.

    Did a couple of drive/rides this week so I could tackle some big hills with fresh legs rather than having to cycle an hour or more before ploughing up 17% hills. Made a nice change to cut out some of the "junk miles".

    145 miles for the week, 432 for July and Strava 150 PRs.
    Roughly 5% ahead of schedule for my monthly climbing challenge.

    This month I’ve ridden outside every day. Total 441 miles.
    Last week my thin cycling friend and I did 4 days of trails ate out 3 Meals a day. I normally weigh myself on Wednesday did it on Monday morning. Tomorrow I find out how I did

    Those hills you are doing Helen are unreal. Very impressive climbing.

    Morning ride - 12.28 miles
    Running total - 198.73 miles
    Left to goal - 1.27 miles ... setting a new goal of 300 miles for the month.

    Had to cut the ride short this morning, got a spoke that was loose and caused the rear wheel to rub on the brake... know what I will be doing this afternoon.

    Love all the hill shots you peeps are showing, I am envious! I could ride from one side of the metroplex to the other and not get any where near the elevation changes that you peeps do.

    102km today before heading home from our holiday. The flattest ride we did all week which made a change!

    Another Sunday morning ride done. Struggled with a bad headwind most of the way though :(

    Garmin still being down is a bit annoying, fingers crossed it gets sorted soon.

    A physically exhausting week helping a friend move house impacted my cycling and squeezed out most of my "me time" so I've only managed five fairly short rides, mostly in the late evening.

    96 miles for the week, 528 miles for July so far.

    On the upside I'm setting loads of Strava PRs as my speed seems to have made a definite uptick.
    169 personal records in July.

    Just over an hour to spin my legs out on home roads. Much flatter than last week!

    Had a re-feed weekend taking it easy and staying lightly active but eating more than usual. The ride this morning definitely felt better and I wasn't wiped out when I finished.
