I'm 42 miles short of my 2500 mile goal for the year.....without getting rained on once. I'll finish this off sometime soon and I'm predicting an extended cocktail hour when the deed is done.

More significant to me is I set a bunch PRs on Strava segments in the month of August. Background here is four years ago I had cardiac surgery to repair a valve with a "massive leak". At 63 years of age, the procedure kicked me to the curb. I was back on a bike in short order, but never recovered my prior speed....such as it was. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that the issue was I had lost my will to push myself as hard as I had before. Sooooo, in August I decided to do something about it.....AND IT FELT GREAT!

Last, in June I acquired a 1986 Tommasini Racing in Dura-Ace 7400 trim. The Tommi has become the favorite in my fleet of seven. Most of my August Strava PRs were set with this bike.
