I've raced 36 races this year. TT, TTT, Crit, RR, Circuit Race, XC, STXC, XCTT. Still need to do a cyclocross race(s) and training for a 6 hour XC race. Mileage is down...only 5500miles for the year so far. 500 miles this september with one week off.
A few centuries in the book. Upgraded in Road and Cross this year. Would like to move up to Cat1 XC next year.
It's been a great year racing. Better than last year. Anything over 100 miles isn't meeting my goals right now and don't really train for that distance. I'll do it but not my goal. Next year, it will be more XC type races.

1. Are you progressing toward meeting your cycling goals for the year?
2. What kind of distance have you managed for the year so far?
3. How many kilometres or miles did you cycle in September?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Goals ...
- One of Rowan's and my goals was to do a CAM challenge ... to ride at least one Century in each month of the year. So far, we've got 9 centuries in 9 months.
- Another goal was to ride at least 7000 km this year ... as of today we rolled over the 5000 km mark. And we've got 3 potentially good months of cycling to the end of the year!
- I had in mind I might want to do a Super Randonneur series this Randonneuring year, and we've completed a 200K and a 300K, but if we're going to complete one, we still have the 400K and 600K to do. I'm not sure if that will happen.
- And I also wanted to work on my upper body strength and do some cross training ... well, there's always the last 3 months for that for that. But I have been doing a little bit of upper body work and lots of walking, and we did get out in the canoe a few times last summer ... and now that things are warming up again, the last two weekends we've been on the water in a canoe, in a kayak, and on a surf ski.
2. 3/4 year distance: 5005 km (so far)
3. September (first month of spring) distance:
well, we're not quite at the end of September just yet!
