A quick question. Is there a way to setup my view to have it bring me to the new posts on a thread?

Thanks,

These typhoons are making it impossible to do any biking. I biked 6 miles back for my commute from work in the pouring, cold, rain. Luckily it was going down the mountain and not going up the mountain.

MTD 6 / 100

I set my all time high with 637.8km last month, but I also had a week of holidays when I managed to get a few long rides in. So, I'm going to be aggressive, but not insanely so this month, and shoot for 600km.

I went backpacking with my son over the weekend, so no weekend rides to start the month, but father/son time is better than a few miles on the bike any day!

9/3: 28.9km

Up to about 40 miles in 3 days so for. Due to some saddle sores and general need of a day or two off, I'll be resting for a few days. The 100 degree Texas heat isn't helping either. Still going for 250

After being off the bike for 3 days with a sinus infection/sore throat/congested lungs, I got back on and rode 11 miles as a test to see if I would improve or relapse.

Goal: 300 miles
MTD: 11 miles

A loooong way to go!

Bike felt really good today. Shorter rides today and tomorrow, with just an easy spin on Friday and Saturday off to prepare for my first 50km event ride on Sunday.

Guess I should up my goal for the month to 600km given the pace I'm already on.

September 4 - 22.6km / 22.9km/h moving average
MTD - 108.5km / 600km
TTD - 1040km since June 25, 2013

It was another really great day to ride. I enjoyed 16.7 miles of good roads and great scenery. I'm still holding back a bit from longer rides to allow myself some time to get over being sick.

Goal: 300 miles
MTD: 27.7 miles
