After popping 3 spokes and being out of town for a week, I didn't come anywhere close to my goal last month. Today is my first day riding to work this month. With the Oklahoma heat and humidity in July, not sure how much I'll actually ride to work, but setting a goal of 200 miles.

(Aug 2nd) added mileage for July. Popped 3 more spokes 2 different times! I also couldn't handle the heat/humidity for a couple of weeks, so didn't do much riding. Hoping next month is better!

July 7 - 22.39 miles
July 19 - 6.82
July 20 - 6.01
July 21 - 6.70
July 24 - 10.34
July 25 - 6.84
July 27 - 6.88
July 28 - 6.16
July 30 - 6.75
July 31 - 21.33

Goal = 200 miles
MTD = 100.22 miles

Great job, Aahzz! Rockin' it for 18.5 miles.

I see that so far you're riding every day in July! Has the weather been that good where you're at? Or are you toughing it out and riding in the rain?

Thanks! Have ridden in the rain once, my first rain ride . Weather been that good otherwise, but supposed to rain a fair amount this week so I'll get more chances.

I am taking today off because my hands are overly sore after yesterday's ride - going to visit the LBS and see about raising my handlebars a wee bit....
