    I'm at 42 miles for the month as of today. I also road my 1000th mile since starting biking again in mid-April.

    With today's 66 that puts me at 86 for the month. I have been asked to ride on Monday also, Sunday is on the boat.

    Here is the link to my ride today. The first 40 miles was extremely hard. Look at the elevations. From 40 to 66 was mostly playing around and not doing much and then I decided to climb a 4th hill. Got part way up and my wife called and said to meet her for lunch with a bunch of people.

    I made it up each of them hills but was slow, so slow the butterflies could fly through my spokes, but I didn't quit or walk.

    My goal for June was 200 and I got in about 250... For July I am going to up the challenge and go for 300 miles.

    44 miles in today so 254 miles to go!

    Hoping to get in a couple big rides on Sunday and Monday prior to work and a couple of upcoming business trips!

    I rode up the Summit Trail at Big Mountain in Whitefish, MT yesterday to the top of Chair 2. It was a gain of 1,050 feet in elevation, my HRM said that I climbed a total of 1,300 feet, which makes sense because it is tracking all climbing including the amount from slight descents on the traversing across the mountain side.
    I installed the iMapMyRide app on my phone, and turned it on for the ride.
    You can check out how it worked here:

    And this is a photo I took part way up:

    This snow was from a week ago, in one week it has totally melted away. Summer is here! I stopped at this point last week.

    That was a bunch of climbing you put in. Hilly!

    I rode up the Summit Trail at Big Mountain in Whitefish, MT yesterday...

    That looks like an awesome ride. Beautiful! I wish I had someplace like that to ride... the hills scare me a bit, though. LOL

    @thcri: I already said this on the post on your page, but that 66 mile ride was awesome as well. I love how you can post all that data, too.

    Rough commute to work today. I don't know if I was tired from the weekend or if was really as windy as it seemed. I knocked out another 22.22 miles for a total of 90.99 month to date.

    NICE pictures! I'd ride around to look at all of that. I am happy with my progress so far. 5 over the weekend, then another 24.5 tonight. I think I'm already over my total from last month (haha). Easy miles too when you're out with friends just enjoying the summer

    I had 60 planned for this morning. Wanted to get up at dawn to beat the heat but it stormed until 11:00 am. The temp was already at 85 with high humidity. I headed out to do some hill climbing. The first hill had an elevation gain of 800 and it did me in. With the heat, humidity and wind I decided to take a short cut no more hills and only do 40. The weather stayed ahead of me. At 21 miles I was out of water so I headed straight home and ended up with 26 today making my monthly total 212. To hit 500 I have to keep trucking or I won't make it.

    Had a plan to do a full brick today with a 1/2 mile swim, 40k bike and 10k run. Got the swim and bike in, but knee gave out after about 1/2 a mile running. Guess it still needs time to heal.
