August goal = 100 miles.
8/1 - 0
8/2 - 7.0 miles.
8/3 - 7.2 miles.
8/4 - 1.2 miles. I mowed today instead of riding.
8/5 - 1.0 miles. I finished mowing today instead of riding. Neighbor a couple doors down got hit on his bike Friday (hit & run). He didn't even fall, but wound up with a compound fracture of his left elbow. Be careful out there people. AND WEAR A HELMET.
8/6 - 5.4 miles outside on a rainy day. Found a farmer's dog dead on the side of the road. Sad.
8/7 - 6.2 miles.
8/8 - 5.5 miles. My first ride without my Walkman (external speakers, not earbuds). I require music.
8/9 - 0 miles. Rest day.
8/10 - 10.0 miles. That's my longest ever ride. I've done 10 miles before, but split in two. It was also my fastest ride, averaging 11.8mph. It was hard. I am a wimp. That is okay.
8/11 - 4.4 miles. Had to cut my route short because I was again attacked by dogs. Got my leg pretty good. The really scary thing about it is that since I'd never seen those dogs before on that route, they scared the crap out of me and I turned my bike such that if there had been a car coming from either direction (50 mph speed limit road), I would have been dead. I cannot ride fast enough to out-run the dogs. I almost cried.
Goal = 100 miles.
Accomplished MTD = 47.9 miles.
Remaining miles = 52.1 miles.
Glad that you are relatively ok. Your area sounds dangerous and full of un-leashed loose dogs, wow.0 -

Thanks for the support, everyone. I live right on the edge of the city limits so the dogs in the county don't have to be penned in and the ones in the city always manage to get loose when I'm around. Ugh. I did call the sheriff though because the dogs that got me this time were on a road that all of the bike club people use so I wanted to make sure there is record of me getting attacked so that if anyone else does, they'll take the dogs away. Ended up going to the doctor today because the wound didn't look very good even though I had cleaned it up good. And, yeah, I need to start carrying something - at least a squirtable water bottle - to fend off the dogs. I don't want to hurt them, but I don't want them hurting me either.
Tomorrow, a neighbor is riding with me. He's still mentally rattled from being hit by a car and doesn't want to ride alone and his wife won't ride with him. I had him ride just a mile with me today. Tomorrow we'll go 2.7 miles to a park and back.0 -
