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!

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.
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.

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!!)
