Fell short of my 250 mile goal last month so what the heck, I'll try for 250 miles again this month. Lol

August 01 = 12.28 miles.

MTD = 12.28 miles of (at least) 250 miles.

As usual, no mileage goal, but I do have a goal of doing quality rides each of the next four weekends in preparation for my club's annual, near-century ride from New Hope, PA to Brooklyn the Sunday before Labor Day.


1.75 mile commute to work this morning.

Goal for August is 250 miles.

8/1 - 3.5 miles ( right leg started hurting, packed it in early, not wanting to put myself out of commission )

MTD = 3.5 miles

I surpassed my goal for July by a lot. I'm not confident I can repeat my 'feet' and my 'arse' for August. Gonna' strive for 400 miles.

I'm just going to go with the 100 mile goal this month but hopeful to surpass that. Also would like to try and get the Eurosport International Ride Badge on Strava in week one, it's only 30km so weather permitting, it shouldn't be too much to ask of myself.

100

I'm in... I'll start back with 100 for August.

I'm back in the saddle after a very long break. I need to slowly get my legs back and get rid of the 80lbs I've put back on since I stepped away! I'm back on the old hybrid and yearning to get on the roadie again!!

15 this evening.

Not a challenge, but I will do 400 too. I did about 350 last month. Might as well have a goal for once.

I need to ride at least 300 miles this month if I want to reach my goal of 2,000 miles for the year. I'm at 990 as of today, will reach 1,000 tomorrow morning, but I'm a bit behind unless I do a lot of longer rides on the weekends, and maybe up my miles from 10 every morning to 15 or so. Seems like there's always something which comes up to keep me from going on longer weekend rides.
