    September goals?

    Goal #1: Oktoberfest starts on my birthday this month, so I guess my goal this month is to stay ahead of the calorie count by turning the pedals enough to indulge...

    Goal #2: Get fewer flats this month.


    September 3 - rode 14.7 miles for a duration of 1:06:09
    September 5 - rode 19.3 miles for a duration of 1:23:00


    September Totals: 34 miles for a duration of 2:29:09

    Yesterday was a rest day. Today I biked 9 miles on a stationary bike (on random hill mode) in 30 minutes, before doping other exercises at the gym. I have flag football practice later so I didn't want to wear out my legs.

    9/1 - other exercise
    9/2 - other exercise
    9/3 - 10 miles
    9/4 - rest
    9/5 - 9 miles

    19 miles completed, 56 miles to go

    Hi, I am going to try and see if I can cycle for this month. So far I have done 32 miles since September 1. My goal is 200 miles.

    Just keep pedaling, lackey. You do not want to be beaten by an old queen, will you?

    2 hilarious hours on my tiny wheeled shopper bike, with a massive dog attached to the seatpost. He loves those little rides, and I do too.

    So far only about an hour on the "proper" bike on my own. And it's pouring down.

    I might invest in a turbo.

    I'm an old queen, too, with legs that feel like rubber and a sore butt, but I'll keep on pedaling! Don't you take any rest days??!!!

    A rest day for me is when I do under 40 miles. I challenged myself last year to go every day a few miles further. Now I am so used to do at least 30 miles, that I feel bad if I don't.

    But you may have a chance to catch up. I did over 1000 miles last month and need a new cassette, which I ordered, but the company I bought it from is slow with shipping. So I have to be careful at the moment until I get the cassette.

    Under 40 miles is your idea of a REST day??!! OMG, I'm in way over my head! I was excited because I managed to do 19 miles today - that was my best yet.! No offense, but I think I'm going to have to pray that your cassette gets shipped to another country by mistake!!!! : ) That's my only chance to catch up to you! Not giving up, though. You've got me pedaling my *** off, which is a good thing, because I could stand to lose a little of my *** anyway!!!
