    I've been riding for several years, and that's a better total than I had 4 months this year. 229 is great for a beginning rider.

    You mean you set up a desk so you can work from your stationary bike?

    I finished September with a grand total of 1 ride of 20 miles. I always under estimate the demands that children in school and after school activities place on my time. Okay, my whine is over.

    So I finished the month out well above my initial goal of 150 miles and even above my updated goal of 250 miles. :) Didn;t make the 24 hours in the saddle I was hoping for as part of the "24 hour challange" on here as well, but I am more than pleased. This is more than I have ever ridden a bike since I hit puberty, and that was a LONG time ago.... I seriously increased my fitness level, got to see parts of my country that were absolutely beautiful and lost a little weight in the process. Strava has me at 276.4 miles for the month! Not bad for a fat old man :P Congratulations to all who participated whether you met your goals or not. At least you were out there trying, having fun, seeing some scenery and getting fitter. I look forward to October!
