Only 14.3 miles today, just had nothing left in my legs when I was riding into the wind but tomorrow is another day and the rest might do me a bit of good as I have rode just about every day for the last 2 months, 816.78 miles for the month

Well that's all for this month. 831 miles, 3 centuries, roughly 25,000 calories, and a ton of fun had on the bike. in the coming winter months I will back off my goal to the 400-500 mile per month range and do a bit more conditioning in the Gym. Made my first goal, however I did not hit my revised goal.

63.5 miles today taking me to 880.31 miles for September, 13 miles less than August but with the change in weather I am more than happy with that amount as they seemed so much harder with the wind, looking forward to October now .....

I fell short of my goal this month. I really thought that I had it, but a few unplanned activities with my family took me away from my rides. I'll try to do better next month.0

Here is the link for October. I hope to see all of you there.

My goal for September was 100 miles. With today's 14.2 ride,my total miles came to 146.3 for the month. I don't know how Ill do in October. By the time I get home from work, it will almost be dark. I ride bike trails in the woods and soon it will be hunting season. I don't want to be a moving target. I guess I will play it by ear. Logging the rides has helped me achieve my goal and even go beyond.0

I am in. Again even though I didn,t get 300 last month, I am setting my goal again for September at 300
9/1- 8.6 miles - 12.3 ave.
9/3- 65.7 miles - 14.7 ave
9/10- 10.9 miles - 12.1 crashed all the miles I could do for the night.
9/14- 2.5 miles - just to see if I could do it after the crash, not my better judgement
fractured ribs and a dislocated hip.
9/23 - 2.2 miles - tried it again, pain at bottom of stroke still not ready for a long ride. Crashes suck!!
9/30 - 6.2 miles - no pain in hip now, about ready to get back to normal riding.
96.1 miles for Sept. - 1609.5YTD
Glad to see all the miles racking up. Even though I can't ride now because of the crash, I still have been keeping an eye on everyones progress. Good job everyone and stay riding!

Didnt get to my goal but I'm blaming that on the fact I STILL havent got my new bike. I should be getting it this week though...fingers crossed!!!
Those theives should be found and shot...I wouldnt care them stealing my bike if I had a spare one or if I could afford to replace it!! Having to wait for the insurance to sort it out has been murder!! It'll be 2 and a half month from losing it to getting the replacement by the time I get it....sorry - rant over! :bigsmile:
Well done everyone!! Some really incredible mileage this month!! Cant wait to be posting miles like that!! True inspiration! xxx0 -

Rain kept me off my bike on the last day of the month. Even if I had ridden I would not have made my goal. However I had only 7 days I did not ride. And riding over 300 miles for the months is fantastic!0 -
