Holy smokes it was hot on the ride home today. 40 degrees C (104 degrees F). But I'm still on target, despite the Nevada temperatures......

Now she's raining outside and cool, like 16-18 degrees C. I will ride Tuesday and finally hit 2000 km for the year. Another 1000 to go for the year! Dropped 2 inches in waist size so far....

2225 km and now I'm leaving for a US holiday, no riding for 7+ days.....I had a good time two days ago, average of 32.5 km/h.

'Round about 1700km for me so far this year, 2420km since I bought my bike in late September last year. That's with a 30km round trip, which I did 3 times a week last semester.. only 2 times a week this semester. Going to try and lengthen my route to compensate, plus do some more errands/shopping on my bike.

July and August have ended. Combined displacement bicycle miles for the TWO months is 173.76.
And even that might be worse as I don't recall if I reset to zero after June's 40 miles.
The cumulative odometer is at 3,872.0 miles, but I'll need to trace back through my posts to find out just when they were put on. Obviously not during this summer.


<edit: 3872.0 minus the 1,953.9 from 2008, and minus the 1106.4 from 2007, leaves 811.7 accumulated in 2009.
Then subtract 432.65 for Jan. through Apr. and there are 379.05 left for May through Aug.
I can account for most (120 +- in May, 40 or so in June, and 173.76 in Jul. and Aug.), but that leaves 45 unaccounted for.
Maybe I commuted 4 days in May? end>

So since I got back from the trip to California at the end of August, I've only managed to ride once, due mainly to bad weather.

But tomorrow I will ride again in the sun.... and once next week.

On Wednesday next week I will be off at noon on a ferry to Vancouver to catch a flight to Germany the next day, so riding will once again be off my agenda for a couple of weeks.

Here's hoping that we have a really nice October, so I can at least get 600 more km and hit 3000 this year too. I'll only be at 2400 km when I leave next week.

September: 102.06 miles.

I only rode 105 km in September. But I was in Europe at the IAA suto show for part of that month as well as a quick tour around Europe (in a convertible diesel Peugeot).

This month I will have at least three rides (the third tomorrow). That will bring me to just under 2500 km for the year. After that the weather may be turning....

When I got home Friday the odometer read 2498.3 km, so I went out right away, even though it was dark, and brought it back at exactly 2500 km. It's supposed to rain next week. Poop.

I had a break in the weather today so I rode again. Replacing a rear tube before dawn was "fun" but I am glad I rode today all the same. Chances for riding to work are winding down as the weather closes in.
