    Had a great week at the beach--including riding every day (but one, due to rain). Even with that, I'm nowhere near my goal for this month :( Oh well, I suppose it was a bit ambitious to increase my mileage goal in the month when I was moving. My main consolation is that this month I've been consistently averaging 1 mph faster on my rides. Guess I should have set a speed rather than mileage goal this month!

    Well, I didn't do the 125. I did do the 100 with 4800 feet of climbing. I felt good and finished in 5:35. Ever heard the saying, "hot like GA asphalt ?" I experienced that today. I saw temps on the road of 107 degrees. I was able to spend about 4700 calories today. I sure hope everyone has a great cycling weekend, no matter what distance. Gotta go. I hear my friends, Ben and Jerry, calling. Been waiting a while for their call.

    Holy carp! That's an amazing century time, especially in that kind of heat. Way to go!

    Update. 20 more miles tonight.

    173 for the week.
    338 for the month.

    Week 3: 169 miles. I was bad and skipped riding Friday... Otherwise it would have been 200ish.
    Month: 507 miles. Total for the month may be closer to 700 miles than the original goal of 600.

    17.42 miles this morning before work puts me at 179.79 miles for August towards my goal of 250. I also hit the 600 mile mark since I purchased my bike back during Memorial Day weekend. Having fun with my mountain bike, but seeing as all I am doing is street riding, starting to safe up and do my research on getting a road bike for next spring. Planning on joining my bro for the PAN OHIO HOPE RIDE next july which was 328 miles this past year over 4 days - definetly will need a road bike for that!

    Happy riding everyone!

    I am up to 218 miles for August. Was on vacation this past week, and rode around 30 miles/day for a total of 146 miles. Planning a long ride for next weekend. Will probably hit 300 this month.

    Hey everyone. Just dropped another 36 miles this weekend. Set a new destination and the ride is a lot of fun. I went three times (Fri, Sat, Sun), each for 12 miles.

    Also I started Insanity this morning - so my legs are about to get an overhaul. Can't wait to see what it does to my biking challenges.

    Keep those peddles moving!

    I'm not doing very well getting to the website every day. I do most of my MFP entries on my phone. Anyway, I kind of had an off week as I spent the weekend backpacking rather than doing my regular long rides. Still, I'm feeling pretty good these days.

    Last week: 143 miles
    Month Total: 584 miles

    zornig, thanks for the comment on my last century. I felt like it was a good ride. I worked pretty hard. I'm planning another one in a couple weeks. I'll be riding with a more leisurely group. I think that will be fun too.

    Sounds like you may not be getting the miles you want but you are getting faster. Maybe your life changes are behind you for a while. I wish I could go 1mph faster on every ride. I think it was Greg Lemond who said "Cycling never gets any easier. You only get faster." Good luck and take care.
