Total Miles for September - woo hoo!

[Jiffer]

Congrats on boosting your mileage! What a great accomplishment.

I'm excited about a monthly mileage thread. I hope you were intending for others to post their monthly totals, because I'm guessing that's what's going to happen.

I averaged 391 this month, 47 less than last month (which is my highest ever at 438). Now that I'm done training for my century and school started again (I homeschool my kids), I'm not riding quite as much. About three times a week. (But part of my total was the century.)

I didn't think I accumulated much mileage this month, since I only rode on the weekends. However, after tallying it up, I found out that I got to 515.47, which isn't too shabby.

Highlights from the month of September included:

• Riding a 200k (125 mile) ride with Jobob and Veronica
• Climbing Mt. Hamilton on Labor Day with the Bike Forums group
• Riding in Waves to Wine, a benefit for the National MS Society. It's a two day ride, and I did 100 miles on Day 1 and 75 on Day 2
• Riding with Dachshund and her new Seven
• Meeting bikergirlsj and her friends on a ride thru Portola Valley and Woodside
• Experiencing the zenlike nature of doing a night ride with Jobob and Leebob

wildhawk, have fun on your 50k!

mary, welcome back!

Me too! and I came in at 478. WIth the shorter days, I can't get as many miles in the evening...and I refuse to ride in the dark.

I got in 347 miles in September but I spent most of it doing short fast rides trying to get ready for my first Triathlon--i was part of a team and was supposed to do the bike ride BUT, we didn't do it because of a torrential thunderstorm.

In August, I got in 508--that's my highest monthly total since I started riding in April of this year.

This month, I should have close to 500 again I'm thinking, as I've got my first Century later in the month and am doing some long distances (for me anyway!) in preparation for that.

You all are awesome! It's cool to hear your goals for future months, too. Fall can be such a lovely time of year to ride.

That said, this is going to sound bad, but... My total for September is 740 miles. And that was with slacking off and only doing a couple longer rides on weekend rides. This is the power of commuting consistently: I don't think I drove to work once all month.

I came in at 357... and half of that was this weekend

Good thing the ride wasn't too hilly

Because I was training for, and did a century, I was higher than normal. I was about 280.

I have only 116.9 miles in Sept, but it was ALL last week-end.....

Great meeting you on the LoneStar Ride, sorry we couldn't ride together, but you would not have liked averaging 11.6mph!
