    I've got a few more miles to add, and I will do that when I get home. Don't think I"ll hit 100 though. Irene is putting a damper on our weekend, and quite honestly I have been pre-occupied worrying about our place on the beach in Delaware. Nothing I can do about it, but I'm stressed to the max just the same.

    Not being able to do anything about it makes the worrying worse. Hope everything turns out OK for you.

    Road 29.5 miles today; total of 581 for the month. My goal for the month is 750 miles, and I should make it.

    Hope everyone stays safe, and avoids Irene; I'm glad to see many of you have already reached your goals, or getting close. It is great to see.

    Got my new bike put together and went for a 25 mile ride. I definitely need to get a new seat. I don't know why they even bother selling bikes with seats that no one will ever want to use. They don't come with pedals for that very reason. Oh well.

    I am up to 267.37 mi for the month. Even if I don't ride tomorrow, which is not likely to be the case, I will hit my 300 with my commute to work.

    Got in 75 miles for the week. That puts me at 270 for August so I will try and get 30 more in to hit 300. Goal was 200 so I'm pretty happy with that. Off to play some softball now.

    I'm just getting stronger & stronger! When I started my weight loss journey this year, I was 297 lbs and could only ride the stationary bike for 4 miles in 60 minutes. Now today, at 253.4 lbs (my last weigh-in), I was able to bike 13.34 miles in 60 minutes! Now that's progress! Look out 15 miles/hour...here I come!

    thcri - good news for your biking. You're going to push right through your goal! I may have to bike twice a day to get the job done by Aug 31st; but, I will get it done! I plan on posting my victory results on Aug 31st!

    I am now at 621 miles for the month. Little bummed out tonight; was hoping to ride across the State of Washington. However, the rim on the back tire went out today, and I'll have to find a shop somewhere tomorrow that can build me another one. The rim I had apparently was not designed to take 365 pounds of me up 4 and 5% grades. It has been beautiful riding here though. More than likely, I won't make my mileage goals for the month now.

    You know them warm fuzzies that kind of choke you up inside, maybe even a tear or two?? Well you gave me one of them reading this post. I am so happy for you!! Way to go. You have three days, do 15 each day and you will get your 150 and beat it by 5.

    Oh and congratulations on your weight loss. That is amazing.

    Okie how are you doing, you going to get to your 125 or 150?? I have 13 miles left to get to 500.

    You got two days to finish Okie, 12.5 miles each day you can do it. And if not it is still impressive.

    Congrats thcri of increasing your mileage and getting it done! Thanks for the kind words. I need that inspiration.

    Today I did inventory all day for my job that I started last month. And, I'll finish up with it tomorrow. I forgot how demanding that is on your body; but, I got a good workout with all the bending, walking and moving boxes that I had to do. We'll see tomorrow if I have anything left in me after my shift to ride.

    That's a ton of miles! How often do you replace your chain and tires?
