    14.1 miles total
    Was supposed to get in a longer ride without the kids yesterday, but my his husband had some unexpected work so I didn't get to. Hopefully this afternoon.

    10/8 8.9 miles
    10/12 4.5 miles

    Total 27.5 miles

    10/16 - 3.66 miles
    10/20 - 10.97 miles (my longest ride to date!)
    10/22 - 1.4 miles
    10/24 - 2.93 miles
    10/26 - 5.12 miles

    Total miles - 51.58

    Been busy a month but I might actually make my goal of 60 miles. We've been working with our 6 year old daughter on ditching her training wheels so several days we've traded our ride for taking her somewhere flat to practice. The 10/22 ride is her first without her training wheels. Then she did the next 2 rides with us as well. It's gonna be hard to keep up with her soon. One of my favorite things about biking is that it's something our whole family can do together.

    10/2 - 4.0 miles at 10.1mph listening to Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack on my Walkman (which has external speakers).
    10/5 - 1.8 miles. The wind was fun. Not.
    10/7 - 3.8 miles at 9.4mph listening to Cheap Trick, Live at Budokan.
    10/8 - 3.6 miles at 10.2mph listening to Joe Bonamassa's new album. Adjusted route mid-ride due to unexpected dog. Had to ride on busy highway for a short time. Ugh.
    10/9 - 3.9 miles at 9.6mph listening to Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.
    10/12 - 1.8 miles at a slow pace. Listened to Joe Bonamassa again.
    10/14 - 2.2 miles at 9.9mph listening to GoG soundtrack again.
    10/19 - 3.0 miles at 10.7mph listening to Journey.
    10/27 - 3.5 miles at 10.5mph. Came across a rider who was hit by a car. He was generally okay, thank goodness, but quite banged up. Be careful out there guys and gals.


    Goal for October = 40 miles.
    MTD = 27.6 miles.
    Still want to accomplish = 12.4 more miles.

    10/18 - 31 miles
    10/22 - 34 miles
    10/24 - 39 miles
    Pathetic total for the month so far: 104 miles

    And a picture: I started a Facebook group call Fort Worth Bicycle Picture Tag. Basically the person who's "IT" takes a picture of their bike in front of a piece of art in the city and posts it to the group. A new person becomes "IT" when they take a picture of their bike in the same spot and post it as a comment on the picture where the current "IT" posted his photo. On this morning's ride I became "IT" by taking this picture (in front of the mural the last guy took a picture with his bike)

    And then took another picture with my bike in front of a new mural

    zqt9ecnejmuy.jpg

    The new mural is only 2 weeks old, painted during a recent local art fest.

    Soooooo cool.

    Ok - 2/3 of the way to DC after taking off from Pittsburgh on my cheap walmart city commuter late yesterday morning (w. 700c x 32mm tires). Took off a bit too late to make it the whole 101 miles to Rockwood, PA before sunset, but my bike light helped me complete the last 5 miles in the dark. This morning's ride was much more fun (including an awesome 25 mile downhill from the eastern continental divide to Cumberland), but 60 rough miles on the C&O canal path this afternoon destroyed my arms & back. Another 120 miles to make it to DC tomorrow, so hoping the rain isn't too ugly and the trail smooths out.

    10/2 - 27 miles (17.4 mph)
    10/6 - 52 miles (16.1 mph)
    10/7 - 38 miles (16.1 mph)
    10/8 - 52 miles (16.2 mph)
    10/9 - 7 miles (14 mph)
    10/10 - 19 miles (15.5 mph)
    10/11 - 32 miles (16.1 mph)
    10/12 - 18 miles (12 mph w. slow friend)
    10/15 - 46 miles (15.7 mph)
    10/17 - 33 miles (16.5 mph)
    10/19 - 26 miles (no speed computer)
    10/20 - 48 miles (no speed computer)
    10/23 - 42 miles (no speed computer)
    10/24 - 18 miles (no speed computer)
    10/25 - 2.5 miles (no speed computer)
    10/26 - 12 miles (no speed computer)
    10/27 - 101 miles (8 hours w. rest breaks)
    10/28 - 105 miles (9.5 hours w. lots of rest breaks)

    Total: 678 miles
    Goal: 300 miles (10/day)

    Great job SingingSingleTracker! Some great results for what sounds like a fantastic riding season for you. Steffenson, you climbed over 100k feet this season!?! Amazing! Faugsu, you put in some serious miles as well this month. I tried to catch you, but no way :). Nice job.

    Double2dd, you are only 20 miles off. You got this. Tetesandra, good luck on finishing up. Almost a week left, time to put in a few extra.

    I met my month goal today. My goal was 400 miles riding and 40 miles running. MTD: 412 miles riding + 42 miles running (7 today to finish it up). I'll pad it some this week, but I need a couple days to recover.

    Nice, thanks. A great month for you too!

    10/14 - 2.2 miles at 9.9mph listening to GoG soundtrack again.
    10/19 - 3.0 miles at 10.7mph listening to Journey.
    10/27 - 3.5 miles at 10.5mph. Came across a rider who was hit by a car. He was generally okay, thank goodness, but quite banged up. Be careful out there guys and gals.
    10/28 - 4.5 miles at 10.1mph. Absolutely PERFECT weather. I'm thinking I'll likely fall short of my 40-mile goal, but I'm okay with that. I've been working out otherly.
    10/29 - 3.3 miles at 8.6mph listening to One Republic among others.
    10/30 - 2.1 miles at 8.9mph.


    Goal for October = 40 miles.
    MTD = 37.5 miles.
    Still want to accomplish = 2.5 more miles. I'm so close I will find the strength, time, and will to finish this little goal.
