837

Momentus day today...for the first time...ever....I got over eight hundred miles on my bike(s) in a single month! I totaled out to 837.1 miles for all of July. Even back when I was racing a lot I rarely got over 700 miles each month. So now I'm nearly at 3,400 miles for the year and I think I may get six-thou-plus if I keep to a steady schedule. If I hadn't waited until March to really start riding................

Easy ride with Bridget and Jonnene tonight. Bridget's training for an Ironman triathlon at the end of August in Kentucky. Jonnene has been riding with her most of the time to keep her company and help her with the training. Tonight she had to do ten 5-minute intervals, so I tagged along, did several at her pace and one time I did a nice steady 25 mph effort on my own to keep my legs loose. I leave tomorrow morning to do the Texas State Time Trial Championships in Pattison and I hope I do okay. This ride is more to get an idea of where my fitness is for the Louisiana TT in September, so I'm not too concerned with my placement but I hope my effort is decent. Then I'll have five weeks to get better!
