Broke 550 miles for the month of August... my most ever!
Just checked the stats for the month of August after my last ride today for the month.
Distance: 563 miles
Time: 31:22:39
Elevation Gain: 27,663ft
Lets see if I can break 600 miles next month
How'd everyone else do?

That's a lot of riding! I'm at 472 but will do a ride late this afternoon. I'm shooting for at least 28 miles! My elevation gain is nowhere near yours, however. I'm at 18,213 right now and even if I do my standard 30 mile ride today it's only 1700 feet of elevation gain. That's a lot of climbing you did!

I don't ride as much as I used to. Quality over quantity. AKA I do not have the time at the moment.
750 miles. 34,000 ft of climbing.
Congrats to the OP.

Nice... At work we've got a challenge for all the staff members for the month of September. It's the most miles covered in that month. I'm aiming for at least 500.

Should hit 700 for August. Three road races, a few long training rides and lots of commuting to work.

Congrats, that is awesome!
I haven't had my Garmin the whole month, plus I had 5 days off the bike to drive from SC to AZ so monthly total is extremely low. Next month should be awesome though, since I start building my weekend endurance ride up again.
Distance: 323.12mi
Time: 19:22:38
Elevation Gain: 11,148ft

Congrats everyone!
I'm at 885 miles in 53:32, but not sure about total elevation gain. I did do the Deer Creek Challenge on Sunday and climbed 12,751 feet over 106 miles!

Throw the stick!!!!
This is my first full month back on the bike after 1 1/2 years or so, so I am very happy with my mileage. After this evenings ride I should be right around 510. I'll post the real numbers when I get home tonight.

Usually average 1300+ km/ 780+ miles per month
Have done 2000km/ 1200 mile a month, but I was younger, fitter and had more time.... got me 2nd place in club champs.

23 rides, 1050km (650 miles) for me this month - lot of shorter, higher-intensity riding. Been consistently at this number for the past 4 months, actually. Next month gets higher (tour of Bhutan.. woohoo).
