March Cycling: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
April Cycling: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
May Cycling: 259.06 km (160.9 miles) + 45 min cycling inside
June Cycling Inside: 215 minutes on bicycle on trainer in basement = 3 hours 35 min
June Cycling Outside: 493.53 km (306.6 miles) in 1531 min cycling outside = 25 hours 31 min
July Cycling: 130 km in 405 min (6 hours 45 min) + 280 min cycling indoors (4 hours 40 min)
Goal ... more than July.
Aug 1 - chilly (9C) and windy (30 km/h gusting to 57 km/h) with a "feels like" temp of about 5C and a little blast of sleet just to keep things interesting.
And we cycled 38.5 km up the cycleway and back on our Thorn touring bicycles.
So looking forward to summer!!
Aug 8 - 27.93 km bicycle ride outside (85 min) ... and I even took it up to top speed once!
Aug Cycling: 66.4 km in 208 min + 0 min cycling indoors
Friday 14 August -- 60 min on the trainer (cycling indoors).
Saturday 15 August -- 12.95 km on a local "rail trail" of sorts. They pulled up the track by 1934 and I think the remaining trail just sat there for quite a few years after that before they finally made a mtn bike track out of it.
Kaoota Tramway | Greater Hobart Trails
It starts with a steep climb from where you park your car to the actual start of the track, but once you're on the track, the grade is not bad. The trail is in fairly decent conditions but does require a person to pay attention ... there are rocky bits and muddy bits, and 101 small tree branches to lodge themselves in a rear wheel.
But it was a good ride! Something a little different.
Sunny but quite chilly.
Aug Cycling: 79.35 km in 298 min + 60 min cycling indoors
Sunday 16 August -- 27.4 km at a pushing at my upper limit.
Aug Cycling: 106.75 km in 384 min + 60 min cycling indoors
Saturday 22 August - 22.5 km cycling outside on beaches, on trails, and on road (90 min)
Sunday 23 August - 60 min cycling indoors.
Aug Cycling: 129.25 km in 474 min + 120 min cycling indoors
Saturday 29 August - 1 hour, 45 min cycling indoors.
Aug Cycling: 129.25 km in 474 min + 225 min cycling indoors
Yep ... definitely anxiously awaiting summer.

I ended up with 327 miles for August, with most rides being in the 15-20 mile range. I had one ride 50+ miles. Nothing for pace compared to some of you, but I'm riding a beat up old mountain bike that is 16+ years old. It's not much for style, handling, or pace but all that extra weight and the fat knobby tires are helping me burn calories!0

Goal ... more than July.
Aug 1 - chilly (9C) and windy (30 km/h gusting to 57 km/h) with a "feels like" temp of about 5C and a little blast of sleet just to keep things interesting.
And we cycled 38.5 km up the cycleway and back on our Thorn touring bicycles.
So looking forward to summer!!
Aug 8 - 27.93 km bicycle ride outside (85 min) ... and I even took it up to top speed once!
Aug Cycling: 66.4 km in 208 min + 0 min cycling indoors
Friday 14 August -- 60 min on the trainer (cycling indoors).
Saturday 15 August -- 12.95 km on a local "rail trail" of sorts. They pulled up the track by 1934 and I think the remaining trail just sat there for quite a few years after that before they finally made a mtn bike track out of it.
Kaoota Tramway | Greater Hobart Trails
It starts with a steep climb from where you park your car to the actual start of the track, but once you're on the track, the grade is not bad. The trail is in fairly decent conditions but does require a person to pay attention ... there are rocky bits and muddy bits, and 101 small tree branches to lodge themselves in a rear wheel.
But it was a good ride! Something a little different.
Sunny but quite chilly.
Aug Cycling: 79.35 km in 298 min + 60 min cycling indoors
Sunday 16 August -- 27.4 km at a pushing at my upper limit.
Aug Cycling: 106.75 km in 384 min + 60 min cycling indoors
Saturday 22 August - 22.5 km cycling outside on beaches, on trails, and on road (90 min)
Sunday 23 August - 60 min cycling indoors.
Aug Cycling: 129.25 km in 474 min + 120 min cycling indoors
Saturday 29 August - 1 hour, 45 min cycling indoors.
Aug Cycling: 129.25 km in 474 min + 225 min cycling indoors
Yep ... definitely anxiously awaiting summer.
And that is where I ended the cycling in August. Hopes for more in September.
