    Well I'm still pedalling although this month is rather bitty with work and lots of travelling around again. Thank goodness for the stationary bike at midnight in my workshop. Keeping those legs moving anyway.

    Morning everyone...My goal is 280 this month and I have a total of 2120 for the year. It's been a light year for me but I hope to push it up when golf quits getting in the way.

    9/15: 18 miles - holy cow guys I'm so freakin excited! My commute and Minneapolis in general is pretty flat, so I don't get a lot of hill work in. A few years back, the one stretch of hills on my commute closed due to a landslide and it's just now finally opened back up. So now I've got hills on my way in to work! I'm planning to go back and forth across the section a few times each morning. And I definitely need it - I nearly gave myself an asthma attack pushing up the last one this morning.

    Also making me happy this morning, new fall wool bike shirt. Discovered the brand super.natural while buying clothes for iceland and snagged this from the local outdoors store that sells salespeople samples for half off. Love love love love love.

    This is my yaay new shirt and yaay hills happy smile this morning

    14/9 12.7 Silchester Tadley
    18/9 6.5 Ufton Nervet

    Flat tyre time today so pedalling was interspersed with pumping up, maintenance and grazing on the blackberries in the hedgerow. The month is still bitty with travels and working away from home so I'm pleased to find myself getting on the bike when possible at least.

    First ride for September.
    45.5 miles @ 16.1mph. Mostly quite a relaxed ride but did try a bit harder than usual on the hills (my weak point). Which is why I got 20 Strava PRs with a slow overall average speed.

    Usually I ride solo but did this ride with a really good hill climber, hence trying harder on the hills.
    I'm 168lbs and she's a petite 126lbs and I got a great lesson on the importance of power to weight ratio.
    (In other words she made me look right a right old plodder!)

    Sunday - 4.1 miles to the gym.
    Weds - 43.9 miles taking in 3 big climbs.
    Friday - 22 virtual miles on WattbikePro power meter trainer.
    Sunday - 58.7 miles, same big three climbs but with a different beginning and end route.

    Month to date = 174.2 miles.

    Weds ride - Three of the big Surrey hill climbs and got one PR and two second bests on them, 43.9 miles and 2500' of elevation on a perfect sunny afternoon. This short hill is plain nasty and hits over 18% grade - highlighted climb on the graph.

    6y8q0gq8zhle.png

    A bit of a quiet week - shorter evenings means rides after work are indoors. :(

    Tuesday - 18.8 virtual miles on eSpinning bike.
    Friday - 21.6 virtual miles on WattBike Pro.
    Sunday - 34.4 miles

    Month to date = 249 miles

    Doing your best is all anyone can do!

    Inadequate doesn't come into it, we all started somewhere just like you - how many people are you passing sitting at home on the couch watching the "idiot's lantern"? (My Dad's phrase for the TV!)
    OMG - 'idiot's lantern' ??? !!! Love that expression!!
