So here we are again, another month has passed with typical August weather, hot and sunny one minute, cooler and very wet the next
Its not stopped me getting in my rides, my rides only coincided with real wet on one day but that was more drizzle than the storms we've had. The bugbear here in Cabotsville district has been strong winds which have influenced my rides more than usual as i've tried to avoid long slogs home into the wind. I did miss one ride, it was planned though as i took a short trip to GOC for my daughters birthday and to see my grandson. my run of 100km plus rides came to a halt too, a spoke failure reduced one ride to just 50km, so i managed a run of 90 metric centuries! I also suffered my first deflation in 10000km, a slow on a wet ride. on the other hand i did get in 4 imperial centuries which helped bump the numbers.
So here are the numbers:-
August
rides 12
total distance 1682km
total climb 12381m
avg distance 140km
avg climb 1032m
ytd
rides 95
total distance 12845km
total climb 106724m
avg distance 135km
avg climb 1126m
So that puts me at 80%, some 2200km, ahead of my 16000km target for the year with a current 53km/day for the year to date (244 days) so well ahead of target.
Has the holiday season affected your numbers? Where are you all at?
