    51.4 yesterday at the Waco Wild West ride. I swear 1/3 of it was uphill into the wind. They got some nasty storms after we left town so I guess that's what was blowing in. Still a lot of fun though!

    5/9/2011 - 24.42Km - total 91.19Km (56.65 miles) - blowing a hoolie out there think my extra 30m was side to side in the wind!

Yuk! Then, just for good measure, they stick 3 big needles in my knee, and can't give me any results for a couple of days... I've been happier :grumble:
    8/9/2011 - 24.42Km - total 140.06Km (87.01 miles) - normal local loop taking it steady to break my knee in gently

    10/9/2011 - 24.38Km - total 182.40km (113.32 miles) - normal loop - fiendishly windy.

    I'm at 166. Over my original goal of 150 already. Weather is turning, but I guess there's wet rides and stationary biking still to be done :)

    Wet Rides - :laugh: yeah, sure - theres no such thing as bad weather, just inadequate clothing...

    Stationery Biking - :grumble: brings back far too many memories of being banned from riding on Dr's Orders, through broken collarbones/scaphiods/ other assorted parts. I try wherever I can to get out on the bike, and leave the rollers/turbo trainer for when it's just too thick of snow / sheet ice on the roads / I've broken something again :laugh:

    I've got 10 days left to do just under 100 miles. Under normal circumstances that would be 2, or maybe 3, days of cycling. Unfortunately I'm on the road again. So here's hoping that I find a bike and a way before October 1!

    17.41 Miles this morning. Cold and hazey this morning, but the first ride I've had in over a week. Life, weather, and work have really got in the way this month and I will not come even close to my goal of 250 miles. But, at the same time, I continue to exercise in other ways and eat healthy and am continuing to lose weight, so overall my health and fitness is still improving. Going to join a gym tomorrow to sign up so I can still get some miles in on the stationary bike once it gets too cold to ride. Keep moving everyone!

    Cold ride to work this morning, but I think we're headed for a mini-heatwave this week in SoCal.

    Just 10 days and ~300 miles to go.

    Nothing today, rain's been coming down in stair-rods all day. I may be mad, but I'm not stupid - fortunately, I did have some bike-related stuff to do, Needed a new chain on the road-bike, and decided it was high time to retire the ancient Shimano 600 (yes, 600 - not Ultegra!!) rear mechanism at the same time. Well - as the weather was so miserable, I ended up doing a full strip-down clean and refit on the whole set of oily bits, and even took the opportunity while the chainset was off to clean the frame up and give everything a bit of a wax and polish. It looks pretty good now, apart from the wheels - I'm toying with the idea of getting a pair of Fulcrum Racing 7CX's as winter wheels, and take the Racing 5's off for a good clean and polish, treat them to a new set of bearings, then mothball 'em until the salt's off the roads next year. Who know's - by next summer I may be light enough to risk swapping to a pair of the Racing 3's :laugh:
