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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
