I've been unemployed so I figured I would finally be able to put in some big miles this season. My body, however, always seems to have other plans. Instead of getting down, I've just learned to embrace the fact that I have to take it easy and pace myself and that some days my body just doesn't want to be on the bike. Hoping to do a century or two. We'll see!

I don't think I'm making my 200-mile goal this month. Yes, I know it works out to an average of about 6.5 miles a day. Yes, I knocked out 24 this morning, even in the rain. However, my bike's at the shop with a creaky bottom bracket (I think), and they're not going to get back to me until next week.Combine that with some (maybe 4 or 5) days that my mom's going to be out of town (with my car) so that I can't get to my trail, and...yeah.
I'll be pleased if I can manage to surpass my mileage from June.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
