Had a great week at the beach--including riding every day (but one, due to rain). Even with that, I'm nowhere near my goal for this month Oh well, I suppose it was a bit ambitious to increase my mileage goal in the month when I was moving. My main consolation is that this month I've been consistently averaging 1 mph faster on my rides. Guess I should have set a speed rather than mileage goal this month!0

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.
Holy carp! That's an amazing century time, especially in that kind of heat. Way to go!0 -
Update. 20 more miles tonight.
173 for the week.
338 for the month.
Week 3: 169 miles. I was bad and skipped riding Friday... Otherwise it would have been 200ish.
Month: 507 miles. Total for the month may be closer to 700 miles than the original goal of 600.0 -
17.42 miles this morning before work puts me at 179.79 miles for August towards my goal of 250. I also hit the 600 mile mark since I purchased my bike back during Memorial Day weekend. Having fun with my mountain bike, but seeing as all I am doing is street riding, starting to safe up and do my research on getting a road bike for next spring. Planning on joining my bro for the PAN OHIO HOPE RIDE next july which was 328 miles this past year over 4 days - definetly will need a road bike for that!
Happy riding everyone!

Hey everyone. Just dropped another 36 miles this weekend. Set a new destination and the ride is a lot of fun. I went three times (Fri, Sat, Sun), each for 12 miles.
Also I started Insanity this morning - so my legs are about to get an overhaul. Can't wait to see what it does to my biking challenges.
Keep those peddles moving!0 -

I'm not doing very well getting to the website every day. I do most of my MFP entries on my phone. Anyway, I kind of had an off week as I spent the weekend backpacking rather than doing my regular long rides. Still, I'm feeling pretty good these days.
Last week: 143 miles
Month Total: 584 miles0 -

zornig, thanks for the comment on my last century. I felt like it was a good ride. I worked pretty hard. I'm planning another one in a couple weeks. I'll be riding with a more leisurely group. I think that will be fun too.
Sounds like you may not be getting the miles you want but you are getting faster. Maybe your life changes are behind you for a while. I wish I could go 1mph faster on every ride. I think it was Greg Lemond who said "Cycling never gets any easier. You only get faster." Good luck and take care.0 -
