I was trying to complete the Strava "July MTS" (1250km) challenge and tagged on an "8800 meters of climbing in 9 days" challenge onto the end of it because I managed to do the 1250km a week early.

Felt wrecked by the end but I'd done -

Distance: 958.4mi
Time: 70h 37m
Elevation: 69,530ft

I also did my longest single ride of 81 miles as part of it

I find riding east from where I live, to find flatter routes, a bit on the boring side due to having to ride lots of bypasses and the like. So I tend to head West which makes for some very hilly rides which doesn't really help when you're trying to go for mileage.

A couple of the rides I did in this block involved riding up Holme Moss.

Nice work!

This has been a difficult month for me. I had to have abdominal surgery early on and the recovery has kept me off of my bike. I was told earlier this week that they found cancer in my previous surgery (If any of you are praying people, I would appreciate anything that you can send my way). So, I end July having only gotten in one ride and face August without much hope of getting more. Just know that I am in your corner, cheering you on and riding vicariously through you!

All the best to you energy wise for fighting the fight! You are in our thoughts and prayers....

Definitely a light month but figured it would be since I missed the first 8 days due to vacation on the beach I ran a lot more than usual as well. Ready for August!!!

I'm not much for posting daily numbers I guess but for the sake of other big guys with lots of time on their hands here is the totals for July:

1464 miles
124h:24m:53s

Starting Weight 7/1 - 235.5 - Ending Weight 8/1 - 218.5

Did my longest single ride yet at 127.46 miles this month... took everything I had in me to pull that one off.

Just started riding a couple of months ago after quitting smoking so still going really slow but I do keep going.
