398.23 Total Miles 30.24 On Bike Month Total Hours in 20 Workout Days of month


We still have 2 more days in month might get 30 more miles in.
Every day we face the demons in our head. I still have 10 more lbs to reach my goal of 194.
One obesity demon almost behind me.
Life is a journey, you choose to live it your way. :happy:

I do a fair bit of cycling. Just to compare with other people's logs:

2/9 - 14 miles
3/9 - 22.5 miles
4/9 - 99.3 miles
5/9 - 16.7 miles
6/9 - 21.5 miles
7/9 - 22.6 miles
8/9 - 24.2 miles
9/9 - 33.5 miles
12/9 - 22.5 miles
13/9 - 22.5 miles
14/9 - 34.5 miles
15/9 - 22.5 miles
16/9 - 21.5 miles
19/9 - 38 miles
20/9 - 37 miles
22/9 - 39.6 miles
23/9 - 34 miles
26/9 - 40.2 miles
27/9 - 35 miles
28/9 - 30.3 miles
29/9 - 38 miles

and tomorrow I'll do either 22 or 37 miles, depends what time I finish work.

So that's about 700 miles this month. Do I win?

mattellis2

hah, no. carbon boy has over 1k this month!

TomAJeffs

Dammit, ok, next month then!

carbonboy

So that's about 700 miles this month. Do I win?

I still enjoy the competition though.

As I said earlier, next month I may lower my goal to around 800 because two full weekends I'll be getting my SCUBA cert.

TDSeest

27 miles today; 449 for September.

442km so far this month and now that its September 30 I don't think I will be reaching my 512km goal. Was a little over optimistic there, still, I'm pleased with my efforts and with one more 12km or so ride to do tonight I'll make it to over 450km which feels pretty good. Hope everyone else went well with their goals this month, yay!

Just the ride home tonight and I will close out the month with just under 1100. It's getting harder with the diminishing light in the evening and the coming cold.

I usually don't do this, but here's a quote of the day that I heard yesterday.

"Let's face it...After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says W T F."

dancingj2

4 yesterday and 11 today brings me 208 for the month!

Does this challenge happen again in October?

TDSeest

24 miles today, totaling 472 for September. 28 miles short of my goal but I'll take it anyway. Shooting for 500 miles next month too.

wbgolden

Ended up getting 292.6 miles total for the month (goal was 150).

I'll take it

mattellis2

finished another 18 tonight. 372.4 total this month. goal was 300, so i guess i did OK.

tonight's ride was short...more of a warm up for tomorrow. assuming the weather cooperates, i am going to try to start of october with a 1/2 century. i've ridden 43 in one shot...assuming i get it done, tomorrows ride will be the longest to date. wish me luck!

congrats to everyone that is meeting there goals...well, except carbon boy...he just makes me ill!

who's starting a thread for october?

carbonboy

I'm not really one for quotes either, but this is great!
thanks for sharing




My total for September came to 457km (285 miles) after my ride last night. I think I'll try for 500km again in October

Carlton_Banks

With the weather change coming, I think my goal for October will be between 250-300 miles. This month was my best yet. I probably will not have another near 500 mile logging until next year. Congratulations to everyone who accomplished their goal this month.
