I made my goal!!Originally Posted by maillotpois
16,551 for the month. I thought it was my lowest climbing month of the year, but it turns out I had fewer than 10,000 in February, so I did not set a new record!
Total for the year is 229,186, almost 3300 miles. Jo could stop riding right now and I wouldn't catch her before the end of the year!! How cool is that?? Truly!
It was a quiet month. I needed that. Wacky year, though. I think you can see my overuse injury coming on right about March - April....

Did not make my goal this month I only got in just over 19000 and was aiming at 22000. Oh well maybe next month.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

MP & Jo, you mileages and climbing are truly amazing to me. Really impressive, month in and month out.
I have really taken a month of rest and easy workouts...maybe just 3 easy workouts a week, no ride longer than 16 miles...just kind of letting down and getting some maintenance workouts in this month since Shasta.

My August just ended with a very hot and unusually HUMID ride! I am very sweaty. I got a new rear tire yesterday and I swear, it feels like a new bike. It's wonderful!
So, August for me = 511.3 miles and approximately 30,050' of climbing.
I really wanted to break 500 miles for the month. Otherwise there is no way I would've been out there just now riding in this hot and sticky weather. Ugh!
