    not doing too bad this month... Distances are in KM's because they're shamelessly cut/pasted from the "21 days in July - Tour De France Challenge" that's happening in the "Century Plus Cycling" group (which also explains my "race number" in my avatar :laugh:)

    Phew! Finally updating! I've been on the staionary bike almost every day . . .
    In general, I've been averaging 10 for speed, but have ranged anywhere from 8-14, depending on how my knee is feeling.

    ~10 July = 30 min; 4.9 miles
    ~11 July = 20 min; 3.4 miles
    ~12 July = 30 min; 4.9 miles
    ~13 July = 22 min; 3.4 miles; + 23 min; 3.7 miles
    ~14 July = 30 min; 5.2 miles; +10 min; .9 miles
    ~15 July = 20 min; 3.4 miles
    ~17 July = 30 min; 4.7 miles
    ~18 July = 30 min; 5.3 miles
    ~19 July = 17 min; 2.8 miles; +23 min; 4.0 miles
    ~21 July = 40 min; 6.7 miles

    ~53 miles total for this list.

    *I am having major problems sitting on the seat for more than 20-30 minutes - and we already put a gel cover on it . . . any other thoughts/suggestions?

    Yesterday, in an effort to "work off" my fair food in advance, I did a 38 mile ride. (Longest yet.... almost to the half century!!!!)

    Distance: 38 miles
    Time 2 hours 39 minutes
    Average speed: 14.3 MPH

    Fueled by Gu gel and a couple Refreshers packets. I was a little worried... the first five miles I was miserable, wanted to go home, couldn't get into it. Not sure what happened, but it suddenly all fell together and the ride rocked.

    What was going to be a short, easy spin ended up as a long, hard ride.

    45 miles at an average pace of 20+mph. Okay, easy one tomorrow, for sure.

    570 miles for the month.

    Road bike ride with my husband this morning. 44 miles in 170 minutes. I struggled getting up some of the hills - my husband tells me: "The hills are your friend. They make you strong." It makes me laugh. (Better than crying, I suppose.)

    Keep the rubber side down!

    Oh, my, please don't cough up a lung!

    I myself carry about 25% body fat and my husband has about 9%. My theory is that gravity increases for those of us with a greater percentage of body fat; I know I just get slower and slower ... and slooooower as the hill keeps going up and up and up!

    I wish we could all share some of Thomas Voeckler's ability! King of the Mountains!
