MTD 125.4miles/ 125 miles
MTG 0

well with just 1 hr before the end of the month I managed to complete my relatively small 125 mile goal for the month... it rained off and on most of the day but finally dried out enough that I was good to ride... so I tucked the wife into bed and then hopped on the computer to figure out a good/safe night route... I basically did my normal night loop and added a small "loop back" 3.4 mile section to it so I would have my monthly miles... for my goal over 80 of those miles was done in the last week... this next month I'm going to do my best to spread my rides out a lot more... as it stands I'm happy I made my goal but need to not wait till the month is 1/3 over and then put riding off some more (ya some of it was from me being sick... but part of it was just me being lazy)

Good job on making the goal. And if you can do 80 miles in a week, maybe you can be a little more ambitious with future goals.

Hit my goal of 200 miles (201.8 actual as per MapMyRide) for the month. Just got it in under the wire on Monday before I had to leave on a business trip. Started 9/1 at 212 lbs and weighed in at 205.5 just after the ride on 9/30. Back at 208 this morning due to airport food.

Upped my average mph from 15.3 to 17.1 over the same routes.

I had a goal of 180 miles the month before but failed miserably (something like 65 miles)... for Sept i've set the goal to 180 but I hope to smash that pretty good... you're also in TX so you know how much better the weather can be in Oct... assuming it stops raining long enough to get some rides in lol
