    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.

    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!)

    I got a late start today and the sun was very strong very early, so I cut it short. I think I have to start night riding to survive the summer.
