    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.

    Good luck to you.

    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.

    Date Distance Speed

    8/4 12.62 mi 11.8mph
    8/5 14.19 mi 12.3 mph
    8/11 15.08 mi 12.1 mph
    8/12 16.39 mi 12.5 mph


    Total: 58.28 mi
    Goal: 125 mi
    Left: 66.72 mi

    ***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.

    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.
