It'll take a few days. Both hands are like that as well as the back of my arm and hip.
I wasn't wearing gloves. I don't like them. I may reconsider in the future...lol.0 -

Today it was not so hot and I could go for a longer ride, I was worried that the downpour yesterday would have left some of the paths muddy , but it was okay
8.1 32 miles
8.2 26 miles
8,3 23 miles
8.4 0 due to rain

132 miles so far , I will certainly get over the 500 miles if we don't get another period of superhot weather. My goal is really to get faster, but when it is so hot and humid I just do not have the energy to push it.0 -
Hi everyone! I'm a MTBer and I am new to this board. :-) I am registered for my first XC race and am aiming to get in some miles before then. The race is August 23rd. So far this month:
August 2 - 9.5 miles lots of four wheeler riding. Not a fan. Prefer single track
August 3 - 19.5 miles. Steady 10 mile climb. I need to get used to that considering my race has quite a bit of dirt road climbing.
August 4 - 5.6 miles of steep, rocky/technical single track. LOVE.
I got a tree branch stuck in my rear spoke last night and went over the handle bars on a fast descend on rocky terrain. I should be dead, I think, but walked away with only a skinned up knee and anger than my awesome descend was disrupted. :-) Happy riding everyone!0 -

I might attempt my first 20 mile ride after work tomorrow!0 -
my goal will be at least 65 miles per week. My TRI is the end of the month and I have been pushing to make sure my knees are in shape for the bike and the run. I was able to do 68 last week and will push for that number again this week. Everyone have a great ride0

***August Goals = race well in mountain bike races on my calendar for the 3rd, 17th, 24th, and the big "50 miler" on the 31st. That's a lot of mountain bike racing for one month meaning I will have to taper and recover as best as possible this month to pull it off.0 -

I'm in! Most definitely!
I do the exercise bike!
Okay stats so far:
Record Laps: 37
Record Calories Burned: 267
Record Miles Biked: 9
So that's the statistics. That's what I am working on for the month. I will keep everyone informed on progress or whatever.0 -
No particular mileage goal for me this month, but I need to get ready for D2R2 – the Deerfield Dirt Road Randonnée – on August 23. I signed up for the 115K version, with around 8,000 feet of climbing, most of it, as the name implies, on dirt roads.
So far this month:
Aug. 2: 40.74 mi, 2428 ft, 2h 36m 49s.
Aug. 4: 22.85 mi, 909 ft, 2h 08m 18s. (Ride with my wife, who's a bit slower, but we weren't aiming to go fast.)
Aug. 6: 51.52 mi, 3350 ft, 3h 37m 33s. Eight miles of climbing on dirt.
So for the first 7 days (tomorrow is a rest day): 115.11 mi, 6686 ft, 8h 22m 49s.
(In October, I have the 125-mile Great River Ride in Westfield, followed 6 days later by Fat Cyclist's 100 Miles of Nowhere, so that will be the big mileage month this year, I think!)0 -
