    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!

    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.

    I deeply admire people achieving their *own* goals and improving themselves and not getting hung up on comparisons. IT takes a lot more guts to get out and do when the silly numbers don't make anybody go "WOW!" - but they *do* make *you* stronger and healthier and happier.

    And consider that while endurance nuts go further... um, stand up at any public gathering and ask the *general public" if they've ridden 200 miles in a month.

    Right

    So go put your miles in at bikejournal.com under "team estrogen" and then every; single mile you ride will add to the team's total!

    (But yea, I wanna know about the celebrity!!)
