cheers

:happy:

So my plan is to ride home tonight, get about 100 miles this weekend and then ride to work Monday for just over 600 miles for October. My plans haven't been going so well this month however. And it's getting cold in the morning...time to dig out the knee warmers.

It's getting "cold" in the morning here too--like 65 degrees! I got rained out of my commute this morning, unfortunately.

26 miles today; 510 miles for the month. Should pass 3000 miles for the year on tomorrow's ride.

343km this month so far and one day to go.
Things panned out a little differently than I had planned so instead of my goal 475 I'll be settling for 350
Let's see what happens in November
