quick 1 hour ride this morning. 12.1 miles with 482 ft of climb. I also found out that I can upload gpx files from Strava into Google maps and found out I was 644 ft from the rock bearing Walt Whitman's poem marking Long Island's highest point. Will need to go back and finish the job.


Goal: Miles: 350; Climb 10,000 ft




8/2 46.6; 1353 ft AA ride
8/6 11.5; 443 ft
8/7 15; 963 ft
8/13 14.8; 1009 ft
8/14 12.1; 482 ft




Total: 100 miles; 4250 ft climbed

Today's work commute brings my mileage this month up to 241.

No cycling for a week. Hitting the airport Saturday to fly from CA to NY to settle my college freshman daughter into her dorm at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Exciting times for the kid.

08/04: 25 miles
08/06: 26 miles
08/13: 26 miles


MTD: 112 miles

Unfortunately my bike was in the shop this week and my backup bike was in a crash. Just got my bike back this afternoon and was able to get 10 miles in this week. Gonna need to step up next weeks miles.On the plus side (or minus!) I lost 3.5 lbs. not riding this week. Go figure. On the weeks I ride a 75 miles I lose a pound, then 3.5 lbs. with zero miles? The body is a crazy thing! I'm planning on a 75-80 mile ride tomorrow. It will be my longest ride to date. But trying to prepare for a century ride in September.

223 - 10 = 213 MTG/Month

75 - 10 = 65 MTG/Week

Goal next week - 75 + 65 = 140 miles

Might as well call this the midway point for the month.

328.9 miles, 23,445ft climbed

I get the feeling the miles and the climbing are going to drop off a bit once I hit the climbing goal, so I'm now thinking maybe 600 for the month, which would still be 90+ miles more than my previous best.
