Goal 400 Miles

I'm on a Hill-Billy Holiday

8/3 34.16 miles (LifeTaker - Specialized Allez Sport Ultegra road bike) - Worked on climbing a couple of 1-2 mile hills....and then back DOWN!!!
8/4 31.66 miles (Grim Reaper - Cannondale CAADX Ultegra) - Trail ride to Kensico Dam and up the service road and over the (now closed to cars) dam road.
8/6 33.56 miles (LifeTaker) SUNY Purchase circuit
8/9 23.61 (LifeTaker) Hills, hills and more hills
8/11 27.27 (Grim Reaper) Fun trail run up to Kensico Dam...did intervals on the access ramp until my lungs turned inside out
8/12 22.91 (LifeTaker) Climb, descend, repeat
8/13 38.46 (LifeTaker) More hills, nice ride along the reservoir too
8/14 23.75 (LifeTaker) Recovery Ride. More climbing, and a few exciting moments helping a caterpillar/cocoon get across Miles Avenue. Mostly just stretching out
8/16 13.11 (Grim Reaper) Mostly errands and a farmer's market run. Brief ride on Old Croton Aqueduct Trail
8/17 40.27 (LifeTaker) Fun day in the sun. Lots of minor hills and 2 serious ones. Went by the local rock radio station and Elvis had left the building
8/20 30.52 (LifeTaker) Find a hill climb it, repeat. Progress in hitting steep grades without blowing up halfway to the top

8/06 -- 26.3
8/08 -- 14.1
8/09 -- 27.1

8/16 -- 30.6
8/20 -- 17.7
8/21 -- 23.7

MTD: 271.1

Now that it will be a little longer before I can pick up my new bike I was able to buckle down and ride a little farther. Gorgeous morning, stayed in the low 50's and sunny for the whole ride. I saw one guy riding in a full winter outfit with heavy winter coat and winter gloves lol. I don't think he must be from around here.

Looks like I'll finish out August with 259 miles, a bit above the 250 mile goal I set for each summer month (went 300+ in June and July) - work travel for 10 days, plus personal for a couple of more didn't help; a beach vacation with more time for riding allowed me to get the miles up (~200 in 5 days).

I've got a nice long ride scheduled for Saturday, so I should at least reach 300 miles. I could easily ride 500 miles a month if not for this pesky job.
