Since I passed the original 1,000 mile goal a few weeks early, I moved the goal posts to 1,250 miles by September 1st. I got off to a good start, but eventually hit 3 straight days of rain where I didn’t ride (it was muddy). This put me behind my new goal.
On August 23rd, I rode 28.0 miles, split across 3 rides: 14.6 miles, 4.3 miles and 9.1 miles. 1,359 calories according to my Apple Watch. This put me back on track for the new mileage goal. It also happened to be a season record for miles in a day.
I have a 17+ mile route in the queue for August 24th, but I might need a recovery day or for the ride to be my weekly leisure ride (which is normally on Sunday).
It is possible that I’ll get to 1,500 miles by October 1st, which would be a nice entrance to less cycling-friendly weather here in Michigan. However, I expect weather to get in the way. I’ll honestly be happy with 1,400 miles by October 1st.
