So the weekend is starting off on a busy note starting yesterday. I managed to squeeze in a quick ride in the morning before doing my errands for the day. Today I just rode around with the grand kids - not far at all, but it was fun getting them out there. Unfortunately it started getting dark so we couldn't go very far.
So, some stats:
Ride #8
3.3 Miles
15:15 Elapsed time
Ride #9
1.8 miles
13:01 Elapsed time
So far this month:
61.9 Miles
4:49:50 Elapsed Time
There have been challenges getting a couple of my rides in, but having this challenge has been enough to make sure I'm at least on the bike daily.
Keep those pedals turning!!!!

August Challenge day 6
This morning I'm 6/6 for rides in August. I'm very happy with my progress so far and have to admit there have been a couple of days I wouldn't have ridden but for this challenge.
The thing about this morning's ride is there was very little remarkable about it. no exciting encounters with traffic, no wildlife, no overpowering smells, no real struggles, nothing. It was a good ride which challenged me and helped me to build my fitness.
Here are the stats:
10.4 Miles
46:16 Elapsed Time
And totals for the month to date:
49.6 miles
3:49:14 Elapsed time

August Challenge
I have been very inconsistent with my fitness lately so I need something to kick-start things heading into fall and better riding weather. So I've decided to create a challenge - ride everyday in the month of August. I'm not putting any restrictions on distance or time, but I will get on my bike and ride all 31 days in August.
I got the idea from Clive Chapman's blog when he accepted a challenge 2 years ago to bike everyday in July. I'm a bit late to the party so I am going to do August this year.
Anyone want to join me in this challenge?
In the past I have set an arbitrary minimum distance for a ride to be counted for a challenge, but I am not doing that this time. The challenge is just to get on the bike every single day in the month. I will post daily on how far my ride was that day and give a total distance for the month as well. I would expect to exceed 250 during the month of August. We will have to see when its all said and done.
As Mr. Mercury said, so eloquently;
