i learned something interesting this afternoon. when i started riding about 4 months ago, i swore i would never wear those goofy little bike shorts with the cushioning built in. i bought a cheap pair at academy this afternoon, and completed my ride averaging 18 mph, which is about 0.5 mph faster than anything I have previously completely. some of it was mindset, and i had to really push the last 3 miles to keep the average over 18 mph, but i could tell a difference. coincidentally, my knee felt better today too..and i rode almost 2x as far as i rode on wednesday.

I resisted the outfit and clip in shoes for quite a while but evetually gave in and like you found it really did help my riding.

dancingj2

47 miles with friends brings me to 183! Yay!

I think I said I would try to do 300 this month. I may have set my bar a bit too high. I still have a few more days but no weekend to help me out.

Yikes, 90 miles to go in 4 days, it's not looking good. Oh well, I aimed high, so I'll fail high.

Got a 22 mile ride in tonight. Rain rain go away.

369.23 September miles so far Total Miles.

I wish all well in meeting the challenge, one day at a time.

Cheers
Jim:bigsmile:

16 Miles tonight on the stationary bike. Puts me over my adjusted total of 150 miles for September. Depending how many more times this month I can make it to the gym, I may hit 200.

carbonboy

Took that much needed day off the bike yesterday. After my commute home tonight I will be 1 mile short of my goal. Maybe I'll ride around the block a couple of times.

Had the flu for the last two days; felt better today, so I rode 16 miles. 390 for the month now.

mattellis2

21 more for me tonight. i rode with a group of about 30 cyclists tonight...first time ever riding in a group. what a neat experience. i kept up for the first 18 miles or so, and then they decided to start pedaling...kinda left me in the dust! something to aspire too, i guess. they actually do a 30 mile loop 3 times weekly near my house. i got a flat at mile 21 and had to drop out. got a new tube in this evening, and am i going to try to join them again tomorrow or thursday.

324.5 for the month for me.

glad you are feeling better

sagetracey

I've ridden 140km (87 miles) in the last week but was fortunate to have extra riding days than normal. I forgot to log my exercise bike kms so I'm getting a bit closer.

carbonboy

Got that extra mile tonight to meet my goal. The rest of the month will be bonus miles.

I'm getting my SCUBA certification in October, so I'll probably only shoot for around 800 miles because two full weekends will be shot.

31 miles today; 421 miles for September now.

dancingj2

10 on Monnday and 4 today makes 197. My new goal for the month is 200 which I think I can make

mattellis2

another 28 down for me. 353.5 for me this month. 375 sounds like a good number. planned on 300, but i should get one more ride in this month so 375 looks doable.

carbonboy

Since I can't do my normal commute tomorrow, I'm going to shoot for doing an early 30 miles in the morning. Then with Friday's ride I should be in the 1100 mile range for the month.
