158.47 + 35.06 + 16.38

Monthly total - 209.91

I feel good about this since I bought my bike in July. Sadly I got hit by a car on Saturday so it may be a week or two before I can get back on.

I'm good. Still a bit sore but otherwise fine. Didn't happen on the bike, some twit in a parking lot that didn't understand pedestrian right of way and this twit that wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.

August was my climbing month: Vail Pass, Berthoud Pass, Cottonwood Pass, and Mount Evans! I did over 225 miles and probably 15,000 vertical feet or more. What a fantastic month of riding.
