I haven't set any monthly goals, but I did surpass my initial goal for the year of 500 miles with a metric century this past Sunday. It was brutal, but worth it.
8/6 - 24.6mi
8/13 - 63.4mi
MTD - 88.0mi
YTD - 544.4mi

I have not posted in the C/A forum for quite a while but I just wanted to share this. So far this month I have put on 317 miles with 2391.7 for 2017.
I really surprised myself today though with my commute from my work to my wife's work to get our vehicle. I was a 26.9 mile ride with an average speed of 20.0 MPH. I had a bit of a tailwind on the first half so I thought I would really hammer it out over a 11.6 mile stretch I averaged 26.4 MPH. strava estimated 326w. Last year after I broke some ribs in a fall I became determined to finally get in shape and it is paying off. https://www.strava.com/activities/1138920485/overview

29 miles last week, 15 this week and I'm up to 59.8 miles for the month. I've really got to balance my physical therapy with riding, I notice I'm losing progress on my hand after 10 miles on the bike. Still I'm hopeful to hit 100 by months end.

Just broke 100 miles for the month yesterday. This was my first 100 mile month in a year or so. Trying to get my butt back on the bike.

8/1 - 15.3
8/2 - 10.3
8/9 - 15.5
8/19 - 15.8
Total - 56.9/100 mtd
I made it back on the road bike this evening. ...was praying the whole time for the 24 spoke rear wheel, 20 front to hold up! It did fine and the difference is amazing from the hybrid! I'd still feel much better with some 36 wheels.
