    7/3 - 1.5 miles at 8.9mph.
    7/5 - 2.6 miles at 9.9mph.
    7/7 - 0.8 miles slowly.
    7/9 - 3.0 miles at 10.2mph listening to Cheap Trick on the Walkman (external speakers - not earbuds).
    7/12 - 3.0 miles at 10.6mph listening to the Go-Gos.
    7/14 - 1.0 miles at 8mph.
    7/16 - 2.8 miles at 10.5mph.
    7/19 - 5.5 miles at 10.0mph listening to The Mavericks. Pretty sad that I'm excited to be on pace to get 30 miles for the month, but it's been a sickly month. And I AM excited to be on pace to get to 30 miles this month.
    7/20 - 2.0 miles at 7.5mph listening to the newest Black Keys album.
    7/21 - 5.0 miles at 11.1mph listening to Skillet. Felt pretty good today. And I managed to out-ride a tiny dog that was trying to bite my ankles. He almost got me.
    7/24 - 3.0 miles at 10.1mph listening to Supertramp.
    7/26 - 1.8 miles slowly - combined miles from yesterday and today as cooldown from mowing.


    MTD = 30 miles.
    Goal = 30 miles.
    Still need = 0 miles.

    7/1: 30.52 miles
    7/4: 25.12 miles
    7/5: 29.94 miles
    7/8: 15.37 miles
    7/9: spinning (doesn't count for miles, but I'm counting it toward cycling days)
    7/10: 16.90 miles
    7/13: 30.86 miles
    7/16: 15.31 miles
    7/19: 38.20 miles
    7/21: 15.52 miles

    Goal=250 miles and 16 days; Now=217.48 miles and 10 days.
    Remaining= 32.52 miles and 6 days.

    Hmm. Looks like I won't make my days for sure. I have been focusing too much on running over the last couple of weeks and have been having trouble putting together any kind of regular bike commute. I should make the miles without too much problem, and hope to get in three more rides, including at least one longer one.

    Took a short cut to avoid the crowd on my normal ride, and it was just a bit too short to allow me to make my mileage today.

    Welcome! Just ride and enter. A new link is put up around the end of each month, on this thread, by Cricketkate. No goals or comparisons required, spinning is counted by many, & oh yeah, my plug is for fun & safety.

    7/3 - 1.5 miles at 8.9mph.
    7/5 - 2.6 miles at 9.9mph.
    7/7 - 0.8 miles slowly.
    7/9 - 3.0 miles at 10.2mph listening to Cheap Trick on the Walkman (external speakers - not earbuds).
    7/12 - 3.0 miles at 10.6mph listening to the Go-Gos.
    7/14 - 1.0 miles at 8mph.
    7/16 - 2.8 miles at 10.5mph.
    7/19 - 5.5 miles at 10.0mph listening to The Mavericks. Pretty sad that I'm excited to be on pace to get 30 miles for the month, but it's been a sickly month. And I AM excited to be on pace to get to 30 miles this month.
    7/20 - 2.0 miles at 7.5mph listening to the newest Black Keys album.
    7/21 - 5.0 miles at 11.1mph listening to Skillet. Felt pretty good today. And I managed to out-ride a tiny dog that was trying to bite my ankles. He almost got me.
    7/24 - 3.0 miles at 10.1mph listening to Supertramp.
    7/26 - 1.8 miles slowly - combined miles from yesterday and today as cooldown from mowing.
    7/28 - 0.5 miles.


    MTD = 30.5 miles.
    Goal = 30 miles.
    Still need = 0 miles.
