August 2016 100+ mile thread
I'm surprised nobody has created one yet for this month. So here it is I suppose. I'm going for at least 1000 miles again. I'm not going to shoot for as many miles as I did last month but I'm going to set my stretch goal at 1200. We'll see how it goes.

I'd like to hit 400 again this month - got an 80 miler planned for Friday and a double metric on August 20, so hopefully that will work out. That's half way at any rate.

Between work (been averaging 95 hours a week since the holidays) and family obligations I feel like I haven't been on the bike very much this year. Going out on a limb and set a goal for 200 miles for August anyway.
Taking my daughter camping this weekend and plan on taking my hybrid, should make for a good start

Well, after falling short going for 250 miles each of the last two months, I'll drop it down a little bit and shoot for 225 miles for August. So, having said that.....
August 02 = 10.21 miles.
MTD = 10.21 miles of (at least) 225 miles.

Well it's August in Florida which is the perfect time for outdoor activities. About 250 miles of club rides scheduled, hopefully I can match that in commute miles. Have an organized century planned for September and if it's windy, the group will be looking at me for blocker duty.

Just started a new job yesterday. Yippee, sort of. Was either work a few more years (more money for toys) or retire (more time to ride). Took the job since I need a few more toys before I hang it up for good.
Goal for the month 750 miles and one endurance mountain bike race.
Two days of commuting for 46 miles MTD.

Going for 200 again this month. I need to make biking a priority. The Tour de Tonka is this Saturday so hopefully I can add 50 miles to that total right away.
