I'm shooting for 250, although that might be a little optimistic. I did 200 in August, but I've only ridden 7 miles in September due to busy days at work and a wedding yesterday.....

9/2 - 7

9/3 ~ 34.88 miles (54.13 km's)
9/5 ~ 48.89 miles (78.68 km's)

MTD = 83.77 miles

As it has been the long weekend, the wife has decided to join me on both rides so far this month. Today we clocked off what has to be my longest ride for absolutely years.....really, likely since I was in my twenties, and it is certainly the longest ride my wife has EVER done. 25km/h headwinds for a good 1/4 of the ride, a couple of fairly short but nasty climbs and a puncture on the wife's bike have left us both looking like a couple ready to claim some kind of limited mobility benefits We are happy to have done it though!

9/6 - 7 miles (to auto parts store - car problems.)
9/7 - 24.75 miles

9/6 - Rode hwy 1 from Santa Cruz, 23 miles up the coast, then back. Almost collided with a coyote that crossed the hwy just feet in front of me. My riding buddy broke 3 spokes on his rear wheel. We met a cycling couple that left Vancouver, Canada 6 weeks ago...on their way to Mexico.
