I put in 310 miles this week to get me to 683. I think I am going to make 800 by 7/31! I need to take a day off though. Maybe two. I did 74 miles today and I am beat. In fact, I have been beat on the last four rides pretty much from beginning to end. I need a rest.

Just hit 503 mtd with a surprise century! Now tempted to push for 600

I had a surprise century last month. Funny how that works out. Sometimes centuries just happen. How did yours come about?

And, of course, go for 600!

I had been trying to work up to a century. a couple of weeks ago I did 60 miles, and then I had planned to do 75 miles but I broke a spoke. So the plan yesterday was to try 75 miles once again. It went so well, and I had so much energy left, that I decided to do another 25 miles!

January 586 Mi

Should finish the month with 675 est.

Go for it! I'm rooting for ya! :thumb:

Thanks, fc! I know 800 is an arbitrary number but I am really feeling motivated to go for it. 117 miles during the next week should be a piece of cake, assuming health and weather cooperate. How are you doing this month?

I love how it can work out that way. There are days when you just have everything going right. In my case, i was carbo loading without even knowing it. I had family come to visit so for two days I didn't ride and just ate and ate. Then once they left I went out for a ride and just kept going until 103 miles had passed.

580 miles month to date.

Yesterday was an epic day of solo long-distance riding. 94 miles of hilly suffering so good, I left at 4:30 am and drove 3 hours to enjoy the pain.

Still running a bit slower this month, but I'm fine with that. Still feeling good on the bike. 682 miles mtd currently, and thinking about doing my seventh century for the year this Saturday. Crossed 6k miles for the year this month as well.

My month has been inconsitent but I did a metric century (my first in 20 years) yesterday to put me at 497 for the month. I have a very casual ride scheduled tomorrow with a friend to put me over 500. My first 500 mile month ever.

I've finished with 700 miles. If I had not gone out of town most of last week I would have about one hundred miles more. I almost missed today due to the weather. I hope everyone has a strong finish today.

625.65. done for the day/week/month. most ever!

Got 480 for July, my most ever, and capped it off with my first metric century (solo) this morning.

Great weather and a lot of commuting has helped put 1,011 miles on the odometer for July. Best month ever!!!

As of right now I have 481.5 miles. About to go finish off the month with a quick ride to get the 500 in.

614 miles this month. The best month of the year. Lots of climbing, too. August should be epic with several century rides planned.

Finished off the month with 917 miles.

did a few extra miles to push it to 640 for the month

April 505.83

You are a beast! I want to follow in your tire tracks.

Keep on keeping on!
