: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

25 more this evening. less wind, but chilly. time to break out the long sleeves and pants!

total for october: 506 miles. probably won't get to ride tomorrow, so that is going to be it. was shooting for 400, so i did OK.

good luck to the rest of you guys.

Great way to end the month Matt...

great for newbies! soon 400-500 a month will be easy!

359.79 Total Miles for Oct.

Might get in a 20 miles today.

But good month considering the rain, late sun rise and early sun set.
Oyea and 40 degree weather.
But learning how to dress for cold.

It is a life style change, now get on with your life.

Cheers
Jim

It's that time to set mileage goals for November.

I should be back up to 1000 in November.
