Because I was training for, and did a century, I was higher than normal. I was about 280.
I can do five more miles.

909 for August, which is a current personal best, and 806 for September.
It's getting dark earlier and light later now, so a lot of my riding from here out will be in the dark or at least low light.

Wildhawk, awesome job on upping the mileage! Good luck on your 50K this weekend. Please let us know how it goes for you!
Tom, dang dude, that's a lot of miles.
I have 518.98 miles from September 1 through September 12. On account of my cracked fork, which I'm still waiting for Trek to replace, I got zero miles from September 13 through 30.

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

Eek! Wow, great job on the ride without any other riding last month! Originally Posted by BarbaraAlys

For comparison, here's Saturday's leg of the LSR (first image) against our local 80-miler from the Saturday before:
But I wasn't kidding when I said those shallow grades were kicking my @ss! My legs just didn't have that gear! I was better the second day after I found a little bit of a rhythm. It was more like riding in a headwind than riding the hills I'm used to.
Anyway I had great fun! I enjoyed meeting you and seeing a bit of your part of the world.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
