    Weather's been lousy, so it's been stationary cycling for the most part. I do, however, have new tires for my bike! :)

    9/2/2011 Taylor Rd. Loop 4.9
    9/4/2011 Stationary @ Gym 10.8
    9/7/2011 Stationary @ Gym 14.2
    Total = 29.9 miles for Sept.

    Is anyone else having trouble updating their tickers from tickerfactory.com? I can't seem to edit mine or make a new one tonight.

    17.43 Miles this chilly, breezy morning. Off to a slow start this month, didn't ride nearly as much as I wanted to over Labor Day Weekend - spent most of it on a roof, stripping shingles, making repairs, and getting it ready for new shingles! Hoping to ride Saturday morning before work. We will see! Running total in my ticker.

    1/9/2011 - 24.39Km - (15.16 miles) - local loop out of the front door, warm, sunny, gentle breeze
    2/9/2011 - 24.39Km - total 48.78Km (30.32 miles) - as above to the metre!
    4/9/2011 - 17.96Km - total 66.74Km (41.48 miles) - short local loop in the rain before dinner.
    5/9/2011 - 24.42Km - total 91.19Km (56.65 miles) - blowing a hoolie out there think my extra 30m was side to side in the wind!
    6/9/2011 - 24.45km - total 115.64Km (71.84 miles) - horrible, horrible static bike stress testing for my knee injury at hospital - 5 minute warmup and warmdown, with a 10 mile "Keep it at 400+watts" in the middle... Yuk! Then, just for good measure, they stick 3 big needles in my knee, and can't give me any results for a couple of days... I've been happier :grumble:
    8/9/2011 - 24.42Km - total 140.06Km (87.01 miles) - normal local loop taking it steady to break my knee in gently

    It's almost time to start pulling out the lights for my commute home in the evening. Not looking forward to the cold weather, but loving it right now in the 90s here in SoCal.

    i havent ridden in a week. life has been pretty crazy, we got evacuated due to the wildfires in here in Texas. our house is fine, but finding time to ride has been on the back burner. i feel the ache to get out there and GO.

    If you have a smart phone you can download the MapMyRide app and it will keep track of your miles and speed for you. Very handy. If you don't have a smart phone, you can go to gmap-pedometer.com and map out a route in advance (or afterwards) and it will tell you the mileage.

    I'm glad to hear that your house (and you) are safe! Hopefully you'll be able to get back on your bike ASAP.

    OK - I'm late, as usual.

    However, I have been riding. I'm halfway there already. May not get to ride much this weekend, but next weekend we're going to the Waco Wild West ride. Can't wait!

    I said I would participate but it’s been hard to get to the computer in the past couple weeks. So I'm posting weekly mileage. I'll also add that I ran a couple times this week. Now I know that does not sound so miraculous. You gotta know I have never claimed to be a runner. Typically I would avoid it. But I have a new friend who motivating me to expand. It wasn’t that bad. Go figure...

    Week 1: 126 miles
    Week 2: 98 miles so far

    Good luck everyone. Keep the rubber side down.

    Very strange 65 mile ride this morning in SoCal. Started out normal nice weather, but halfway through an unexpected thunder & lightning storm rolled in with no warning. Got soaked, and very scary lightning strikes all around as we crested some climbs. Loudest thunder I've ever heard directly over head. Glad to be home and dry.
