Fun race on Sunday at Bodie state park in CA. Bodie is an old mining town with many building still standing. Race was 50k in the surrounding hills. Took 3rd place. My ab muscles are still sore from the miles of deep sand on that course.
MTD 407 miles.

August 02 = 10.21 miles.
August 03 = 13.17 miles.
August 04 = 15.68 miles.
August 06 = 13.10 miles.
August 07 = 16.83 miles.
Missed two+ weeks of riding due to hip pain, which I am still somewhat dealing with, so I'm downgrading my goal (was 225) to now just 125 miles for August.
August 23 = 7.71 miles.
MTD = 76.70 miles of (at least) 125 miles.

Crappy month for me so far. Call it lack of effort more than anything else. I've probably only ridden a tad over 300 miles this month, 250 that I know for sure and can easily account for. lol...200 of those were this week. So, like I said, crap month.
Goal revised to 500.

Mission Accomplished. Have the next two days off of work too, so I expect another 40 to 50 miles before the month is finished. Hit my goals and have improved just about everything over July so I'm ecstatic. Goal will probably be 300 for September, but boy is that going to be a hard one to reach.

After yesterdays 20 miles on the BKool trainer (due to 25 mph wind outside) I have 115 miles for August. More to come today to stretch some soreness out.... you can't coast when riding a trainer.

Fun 33 mile gravel ride with team mates today. Struggled a bit as I was on my hardtail 29er while everyone else hard cross bikes. Got a good workout. Managed to keep in the pack until the last few miles when I got spit off the back.
MTD 581 miles.
