My goal was to start at at least 100 miles a month this summer and increase from there but a wreck in early June has had me out of commission for a long time. Last august was the first time I ever got to 100 miles in a month. I'm hoping I don't get any bad news at the orthopedic doctor this week and hopefully I can get back to 100 this month.
Best of luck to you all.

Champion of the Low End
Way to go, Clydes and Athenas! I just want to say this is the thread that inspired me to take cycling seriously as a sport and lifestyle. I'm still a Clyde, but I'm much healthier and happier than I was when I started less than two years ago. I don't always hit my goal every month, but this thread (and Strava also) have inspired me to ride bikes every month of the year, even in Winter.

This morning was really rough, my butt was really hurting bad and my quick release on my seatpost was not holding tight enough and my seat kept creeping down. Hopefully I have the quick release issue fixed now.

Well my doctor wasn't very helpful. They basically don't know what's wrong with my hand and are sending me to rehab. It's frustrating but he didn't give me any activity restrictions so I'm going to keep it up as much as I comfortably can.
8/1 10
8/5 4.4
8/8 10.1
I have 15 planned for the weekend so I'm on track to hit my goal.
