Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

September 2005 Mileage Thread

Thanks, in part, to more comfortable riding temperatures and unseasonably dry weather (we only had approximately three wet days), I had my first 500+ mile month.

Anyone else have a good September?

But I may just get my bike back tomorrow if the shop doesn't keep stalling! Maybe i'll ride 500 miles the last day of the month!

Tomorrow, last day of Sept, I'll break 500. All I have to ride is 4.8 miles to do it. It'll be my best month yet.

I didn't ride 7 days in Sept.

We need to start a Monthly Mileage Club. Just for the encouragement to keep riding.

No, after doing about 800 in August (300 in 5 days) I've been injured this month and only done about 3-400. Normal is 700.

Too much time sitting around wondering what new stuff you are going to buy for the bikes you never ride?

458 here. I'll probably ride another 20 today, so 500 is not possible this month.

Pretty close though.

435 Road miles + 125 Commuting miles = 560 miles

(And what is this "cooler" weather of which you speak?)

Hmmm... no...

It is called work obligations, working graveyard now and my body adopting to the change is very very hard.

423 on the road, but I'm going to probably do some miles on the trainer today.

Sucks I had my bike in the shop for 6 days this month otherwise I would have gotten the 500 easy.
