Morning ride is done, I'll ride again this evening with my wife, 151 miles so far this month. I've been on a mission this year to see my abs for the first time in my life, I'm down 55 lbs and keep telling myself my abs are just over the next hill, keep going.

Cyclocross racing triple header weekend. Raced twice on Saturday and one on Sunday. Was planning to race in Sunday afternoon but I knew at the end of the earlier race that my legs were cooked. Didn't have another hour of hard effort left in them.

MTD 132 miles, 11 hours, 6 CX races

129 MTD, complete with today's slowest right hook. I'm fine, car drove off. I was slowing for a stop sign, they charged in front of me to turn right, I ended up falling on my right hip and pulled my bike up over me and took off a fine layer of skin with my pedal. Hurts like a SOB

Commute miles are adding up.

Attempted to draft off an e-bike yesterday on the way home. Held on for a mile or two. Just couldn't keep up the pace.

182 miles MTD.

It's getting colder and windy here in the Midwest and will probably have to bust out the trainer soon.

No real goal this month other than reaching the 1000k. But, looking at the above number, I can see 800 miles being pretty easy to reach by Halloween.

Mid-month check-in, and due to the shenanigans of the previous two months, I truly am dialing it back for October.

412.7 miles
24.3 hours
14,974ft^

Should just squeak out the Strava challenges for October.
