    Sorry I havent posted much here. Been very busy at work and with life in general. Little time to visit MFP, but plenty of time to get my morning rides in.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Managing five rides per week and 2 gym sessions on my "off" days. My Garmin connect calendar is full of pink boxes for the month.

    Totals for Sept 3 to Sept 9: 123.62 miles
    Totals for Sept 10 to Sept 16: 123.80 miles
    Totals for Sept 17 to Sept 23: 127.49 miles
    So far over 4 rides this week: 90.19 with a 45 miler planned for Sunday.

    I think I am right in pace for the century I am training for on Nov 10.

    Net results of my training: down 9 lbs in 5 weeks. Got another 5 or 6 to go.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Sorry to hear about the cancellation Sijomial. I would be disappointed too. Actually a dear friend sent us an invitation to his daughter's engagement party on the day of my century and I politely said no. Ill send my wife by herself. He couldn't understand that I am choosing to ride my bicycle over his party.

    Livingthedream: re:Glasgow. This morning I was looking at airfare from California to Edinburgh for May 2019. Im sure we will visit Glasgow too. My nephew's wife is in a doctorate research program in St Andrews for a couple of years. Were coming to visit. Good excuse to tour Scotland.

    Deceived1: How are you doing with the clipless pedals? I have stories too...... Some other time......I'll try to come back in a day or two and keep up with you guys.

    Congratulations Awinner_au. Way to go. My longest is still 102 miles.

    I got a 44 mile ride in this morning. 4 consecutive weeks ridding 5 days or more per week. But rain predicted for several days this coming week. Ive finished many rides in the rain, but I wont start one unless I am absolutely sure it is just a passing shower.

    Total for the week: 5 rides 134.20 miles.

    Total for September 2018: 21 rides, 531 miles, 34,145 calories (Yeah sure.... I don't trust Garmin). But I am down 9 to 10 lbs for the month. so maybe......

    Keep going guys.

    I would love to Audax but all the NSW rides seem to be on Saturday, i work Sat afternoons. Couple of the guys on the ride were Audaxers, they reckon that it is more forgiving than a group ride as you get to set your own pace, i would have certainly appreciated that yesterday.

    I haven't quite given up on chasing my climbing goal for the month....
    Four big climbs today in the Surrey Hills A.O.N.B. - gorgeous scenery and roads really quiet today.

    Managed to hit my climbing goal as last day of September was also first day of a cycling holiday in Cornwall. There's plenty of hills here for sure but strangely very few cyclists.

    8279 meters of climbing, 41 hours and 628 miles for September.
