MTD 764 miles

Cooler, less humid weather has moved in - albeit a bit windy on the return - a reminder that FL winter is coming. Missed yesterday due to podiatrist appointment and a cortisone shot on a painful bunion (bummer). Call it a wrap for September - a decent mileage month and a new bike in the stable! Thanks to all the folks on this thread for motivating me to get out!
That's a great month.

Sep 30 Ride #2 : 6.2


MTD: 350.4

I went out at lunch to get the last 6 miles I needed to reach the goal. Did 6.2 to get to 350.4. Temps were much nicer now then they were at 6am
Great month of riding, that's great extra effort.

September Goal: 700 miles

Made it (whew!). It's hotter than all get out today, so I stuck to the beach as much as possible, so it wasn't so bad. My right Achilles tendon yelled at me when I started climbing a hill in the last 10 miles, so I think I'll take tomorrow off (and maybe map a strategy for October). Yesterday I learned I'd done something I've never done before: I wore out a set of wheels. The Ultegra wheels on my (Specialized) Tarmac Expert won't stay true anymore, and are, in the words of my mechanic, "shot." So I've ordered another set of wheels, could be a couple weeks before they're here, so I'll be riding the Allez until then. That's not a bad thing, it's just not as light and fast as the Tarmac. Done for the month.

Ended the month at 427 miles, didn't stop in that often for updates. I'm now trying to figure out how to use zwift, as I picked up a trainer for the winter. I don't have clip-ins, and I still have downtube shifters, so I feel like some of the workouts require too much shifting, etc.

But, I'll give it a try. Can't see myself going outside much past October, and only relatively warm days then.

Great job all, you definetly keep me inspired.
