    Alright, I'm in for this month as well. Another 150 before my trip to the cottage - Labor day weekend. Should be a challenge because I am also trying to start Insanity this month - whenever the DVD's arrive. Here we go!

    Did 40 miles tonight at our local Thursday night training race. Well, 27 of that is the race, and then 13 miles to get there and back. Still makes for a hard night.

    I did a nice 18 mile spin this morning. I'm going to ride 125 miles at a local century tomorrow. I sure hope it goes well.

    Today's Miles = 19.06. Good ride today. Working hard each week to put money aside for a road bike as I'd like to really increase the distance I go (plus I am riding on the street anyway and no paths/trails at the moment). Total miles updated in the ticker!

    Good luck! Centuries are a good time!

    All this mileage updating is very motivating guys, and HUGE THANKS to all who answered my saddle question. I'll get a better one as soon as I'm ready to put more mileage in. I believe having lost weight has helped with how much it hurts. So I'll lose some more before spending on a new one.

    My mileage so far: 81 miles.

    has not been a great week for me as far as cycling goes. got one ride in earlier this week, and nothing since between work and the rain in the evenings.

    got 30 done this morning. 150 for the month so far.

    how come i get a feeling a "bit of climbing" is 2000+ feet of elevation change? ;) i am envious of your conditioning. my 30 miles with our mole hills here in georgia were enough for me this morning.

    Well, I didn't do the 125. I did do the 100 with 4800 feet of climbing. I felt good and finished in 5:35. Ever heard the saying, "hot like GA asphalt ?" I experienced that today. I saw temps on the road of 107 degrees. I was able to spend about 4700 calories today. I sure hope everyone has a great cycling weekend, no matter what distance. Gotta go. I hear my friends, Ben and Jerry, calling. Been waiting a while for their call.
