    ***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.

    I'm in! I have been absent from this site for a long time but finally decided to come back to see whats up and talk with other people to stay motivated and what not. This summer ive been riding pretty hard, as of the last 30 days or so... I am up to 166 kilometers in August already.. I dont know what my goal for the end of the month should be??? lets say 400km :) I mainly do trail and path riding on my mountain bike and like to stunt every now and then. I track all my data with S health. Good luck to everyone.

    Oh, You Fabulous Riders, I'm writing from my room at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital, where I have been for the last 5 days. I have s great view of the mountain foothills and the many people taking advantage of the trails out there. Many a goal has been set for next summer.

    I'm in! I use Map My Ride to keep track of my rides as well as my walks, and it automatically logs it here for me. Since I am new, I am setting a goal based on what I think I might be able to make. I will adjust that as time goes on. Currently I ride on my days off, Monday and Tuesday, but plan on adding rides to that on other days as well.

    No goal (as I wrapped up my first tri), but know I'll need to ramp up the mileage as training for my next tri (olympic) in the fall.

    Just following a triathlon and marathon training plan at the same time, while riding to/from most baseball games (via mix of expresso, road, tracstand, and less thief-inviting commuter). Currently in a pretty hilly city (Pittsburgh), but not tracking elevation much.

    8/14 - 31 miles
    8/13 - 25 miles
    8/12 - 10 miles
    8/11 - 7 miles
    8/10 - 38 miles
    8/8 - 22 miles
    8/7 - 20 miles
    8/6 - 10 miles
    8/5 - 9 miles
    8/4 - 10 miles
    8/2 - 17 miles
    8/1 - 3 miles

    Total so far: 202 miles.

    Curious if I'll get to 400 by the end of the month.
