    I'm *probably* not going to make my 300 mile goal this month. I'm sitting at 173 right now, and with only a week to go it doesn't seem likely. It's not impossible, but I do doubt it with how much I have to do this week.

    July ... somewhere in between my two previous Julys would be good. :)

    July 1 - 161.5 km cycling (510 min) + 0.5 km walking (6 min). This was a 150 km event put on by the BC Randonneurs to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday. :) Plus a bit extra.

    July 7 - 3 km walking (35 min) + 30.5 km cycling (95 min)
    July 8 - 0.8 km walking (10 min) ... this was mainly within airports. I try to do a lot of walking while waiting for flights.
    July 9 - For me, Sunday did not exist. We left Vancouver on Saturday, and arrived in New Zealand on Monday. There was no Sunday.
    July 10 - 0.5 km walking (6 min) ... more airports as we flew into Australia.
    July 11 - 21 km bicycle ride (65 min) ... a chilly, damp ride back in Tasmania.
    July 12 - 1 km walking (12 min) ... just a bit of commute walking.
    July 13 - 3.7 km walking (45 min) + 15 flights of stairs (10 min)
    July 14 - 5.4 km walking (65 min) + 15 flights of stairs (10 min)
    July 15 - 40.3 km cycling (125 min) ... very hilly ride
    July 16 - 41.4 km cycling (130 min) ... flatter ride
    July 17 - 7.1 km walking (85 min) ... some outside, some on treadmill + 2.1 km rowing (15 min)
    July 18 - 2 km walking (25 min) ... not feeling well
    July 19 - 6.4 km walking (80 min) ... somewhat better day + 15 flights of stairs (10 min)
    July 20 - 1.8 km walking (20 min) ... really not feeling well + 10 flights of stairs (8 min)
    July 21 - 7.5 km walking (90 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min)
    July 22 - 33 km cycling (104 min)
    July 23 - 50 km cycling (155 min)
    July 24 - 3.7 km walking (45 min) + 21.4 km cycling at Spin Class (50 min) + 3 km rowing at the gym (20 min)

    July 25 - 4.4 km walking (55 min) + 12 flights of stairs (9.6 min)

    July 26 - 4.1 km walking (50 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min)

    July 27 - 2.2 km walking (25 min) + 40 min cycling indoors + 24 flights of stairs (19 min) + weightlifting

    Went back and tallied my rides and realized I did ride on July 1 before I found this challenge so I'm adding that in.

    July 1 - 3 hrs/12 miles
    July 8 - 3 hrs/12 miles
    July 12 - 2 hours/10 miles
    July 19 - 2 hours/13 miles
    July 22 - 2 hours/12 miles
    July 27 - 1.5 hours/9 miles

    Total so far - 13.5/68 miles

    Have a ride planned for Sunday but I'm still short this month of my goal of 20 hours.

    Dang. That's a big week. I've done 20 hours once and I was pretty wrecked from that. Is this a big week for you, or do you routinely rip through some serious miles?

    And thanks, here in CO we got plenty of hills. Starting to get back some of that fitness (and weight loss) that I had from before my crashes in Mar and June. Was going pretty damn good in February, more power than now and was at 63kg/138lbs. Feel so draggin at 71kg right now...but considering 6 weeks ago I was almost 76kg, that's good progress.

    Been adding my miles up wrong for the last 2 weeks or so. Corrected them again!

    On a good note, I have blown my July goals up!!

    Best bike has gone in for servicing and repair.
    Started creaking and at first thought it was my wonky knee! Then hoped it was my saddle but sadly it's the bottom bracket. New cassette and chain also required.

    Just as well I have a spare (you can't have too many bikes after all....) as this weekend was warm but humid.
    40 miler and 60 miler done but really hard to drink enough.
    Bit of running around on my hybrid too, forgotten was a nice ride a hybrid is in an urban environment.

    MTD. 7 Hours - 113 miles - 19 Personal Records - 7 Activities

    YTD. 156 Hours - 2,565.9 miles - 283 Personal Records - 131 Activities

    Got my bike back with lubed/adjusted bottom bracket, new chain and cassette and it's riding like new again.

    Just in time for.....
    Drove down to Winchester and did a cut down Audax route over part of the South Downs and Salisbury Plain. Stunning scenery, great roads and incredibly low levels of traffic. One of my best ever rides but more challenging than I expected. Only one really big hill but there was a 10 mile uphill drag and constant ups and down that broke my rhythm. 84.5 miles, 31 Strava PRs, 4472' of elevation, 5hrs 40min.

    Here's a high speed video - https://www.relive.cc/view/1085048808
    Strava route - https://www.strava.com/routes/9577227

    MTD. 15 Hours - 235 miles - 53 Personal Records - 16 Activities

    YTD. 162 Hours - 2,688 miles - 317 Personal Records - 140 Activities

    Fairly quiet week - guess the schools have broken up for the summer holidays as the weather has taken a nose dive!

    MTD. 21 Hours - 350 miles - 58 Personal Records - 22 Activities

    YTD. 170 Hours - 2,803 miles - 322 Personal Records - 146 Activities

    Away for four days meant almost no cycling for me...
    372 miles for the month.
