September goals?

Goal #1: Oktoberfest starts on my birthday this month, so I guess my goal this month is to stay ahead of the calorie count by turning the pedals enough to indulge...

Goal #2: Get fewer flats this month.

Goal #3: Season is winding down, so it's time to start working in some fun fall rides with no particular training goals.

Today was the Minneapolis Bike Tour. I totally kicked it up and down the whole route. I'm not a fast cyclist by any stretch of the imagination, but I am improving. I averaged 10 mph on the course last year. This year I did it at 15 mph.

USqueaky, Congrats! Way to ride!!

Finally back on track to hit my target after today's long "recovery" ride (recovering from some long/fast runs this weekend). My cheapo walmart commuter is now riding like a charm with a bit more elbow grease, and I'm sorely tempted to try it out on a practice triahtlon next year, just so I can pass a bunch of out of shape cervello P3 and P5 riders with it (as I can now maintain a bit over 20mph at my LT zone on the thing).

I know it's mid month but I'm in. I've cycled 97 miles on the road and joined a spinning class - not sure how to measure that one other than by time - one hour a class and pretty vigorous!
