After taking yesterday off, I got in 30 miles today before my feet started burning. Got to research this and find a way to stop the burning. MTD: 355 miles. 145 miles to reach goal of 500 miles.

8/21: 25 Miles. Nice ride with zero stops(though a slow ride up a uneven hilly road). Counted 40 rabbits along the way. Averaged 14 MPH.
MTD: 184.7 Miles. (Goal: 300)
YTD: 894.3 Miles. (Goal: 1,000)
Most likely I'll be off the bike the next two days due to family business, but I'm hoping for a long ride this weekend weather permitting.

Hit my months goal of 100 miles last night coming home from my commute to church. I finished 9 days early at that! For my first month of cycling I would say I'm doing fairly well 
. I'm excited to see how many more miles I can rack up for the rest of August.

A cooler, overcast day was a real departure from usual today. I rode 26.4 miles. I ran into 4 really nice guys from Vancouver, WA that had been doing a state tour. We had some fun talking bikes and the local (great) terrain and roads. I wish them well on their way home.

Another plan for a long ride thwarted when I realised I hadn't charged my phone and it was showing 5% power. Oh well... took off to find a geocache and then took the long way home (9 miles out, 22 home), taking in a few roads that give me a chance to lay down some power. The home straight was nice with a tailwind and I got up to 26mph before having to slow down because I was stuck behind a BMW. The irony of it...

Got those 2x20 intervals in today at a beautiful park trail. Something of a trade off between here and my local route, I have to slow down for tunnels and such on the park route, but don't have to stop for any traffic lights. In either case, I think I pushed plenty hard enough today, what with me praying for a flat tire or broken spoke for the last 5 mins of the second interval!

It was a nice day for a ride. I found 11 pennies on the road; who says riding a bicycle doesn't pay!? The ride was 27.25 miles with lots of hills to climb and 10-20mph winds.

Five days of commuting last week and a leisurely CX trail ride (16 miles & 1,600') today has added a few miles to the odometer this month.
CX trail ride was fun. Went out on a trail I hadn't hit before. Mostly singletrack and could ride almost all but the most technical sections with the cross bike. Only drag was my tires are very worn and lost traction a couple of times. Ordered new tires when I got home.
MTD: 629 miles & 27,858'
YTD: 8,796 miles & 378,303'
