Total Miles for September - woo hoo!

[arielmoon]

Yes, very good point!

I ride rolling hills nothing like the mountains some of you gals tackle!

[wildhawk]

Geez! And I thought I was doing good to get 197 miles in one month. I guess you all put me in my place and kicked my butt!

Good job everyone. I feel humbled.

Wildhawk, compare yourself only to yourself. You have made advances in your own cycling and you should be proud. Keep moving forward, girlfriend!

Thank you Misandal - that encourages me and means a lot. I know that I have a long way to go and being an overweight (70 lbs.) rider with heart stents, I have to keep working hard to regain my health. I am truly in awe of all of you however - I hope that next year I will be in the 400+ miles per month category!

You did more than I did this month, and you did WAY more than the average American, so keep being proud of it! And with heart stents too! You are awsome!

My goal is always to make good time.

All these reports are inspiring to me, too! I've only been road biking since mid-July, but I'm in love with it!

I did 333 miles in September. 13 rides - mostly rolling hills. Avg speed is about 16 mph.

I did 296 miles in August.

My goal for October is 400 miles.

You shouldn't compare to others. Is 197 your best? Did you feel good about yourself? Did you have a great time? Good, you win for you! Some people a 10 miler is a warm up, some it is a personal best.

You did awesome and you did it with enthusiam I haven't had for the road lately. I feel humbled by you because you have this gleeful joy when you describe every ride. That is something some of us old timers need to hear. And all us who did more than 197 can remember our days of 197 being a milestone.


ETA- Wow you are riding after heart stents? I am always inspired by those who take control after learning their health needs to be improved! My Pawpaw did the opposite and left us too soon with a massive heart attack. I wish he had walked, got a bike, did anything that might have bought him one more week, month, year. Be very proud of yourself and every one of those miles.

740 miles in August
674 miles in September ... the semester started, and teaching 250 students (+ one celebrity) takes a toll

All miles ridden on the fixed gear bike (48/16 ratio) in either moderately hilly (NJ parks) or flat (Manhattan is NOT flat, but cannot be considered hilly either) environment.

426 for me. 50 flat miles, 376 hilly miles! I'm content with this mileage total since I only get to ride Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

I'm not sure my October is off to such a good start...it's supposed to rain a lot on Saturday (although I'll believe it when I see it!). I have my first Century coming up on Oct. 18 so I need to keep up with the training miles!!!

Seriously you inspire me. You are making positive changes to get healthy and strong. Dont be humbled- be proud! YAY for you!!
