Last night

Had a nice ride with Terry and Joe. Rode 10 miles to a little burger stand, Crables, and had tree sliders. The ride back was a little faster paced.

Only have 85 miles for the month. Should be at about 160.

Catching up

Since my last post I have dropped to 219 lbs. I did a 40 mile ride in 2h 40m. I am averaging about 300 miles a month. Still want to average 400.

It has been awhile

I have not been able to ride much this past month. Rode 220 miles for September, well shy of my 400 mile goal. This month has started slow but will get more miles in.

Rode 10.5 this morning. 50 degrees with 15-20 mph winds. I plan on riding tomorrow.

Current weight is 228 lbs.

Not much riding going on.

I have been busy this past week. Gained a few pounds (currently at 226 lbs). Eating was not the best this past week.

Finally got a good 20 mile ride in this morning (15.2 mph). If I had more time I would have gotten a lot more in. I think I am ready for a 50 mile ride. I am planning on Sept 29th.

Miles for August

For August I finished with 353.9 miles. My goal is to have no fewer than 400 miles a month for the rest of the year.

At the start of July I struggled to ride eight miles at 11 miles an hour. Yesterday I did 20 at 16.2 miles an hour. When I finished I was ready to keep going.

I finally feel good!

My bike

For anyone interested I have a 2007 Fuji Newest 2.0. Though this is an entry level bike it is the best bike I have ever owned. It has been a good bike and I hope to put many more miles on it.

More miles!

Yesterday afternoon I added 17 miles averaging 15.8 miles an hour. This morning I rode 20 miles before work. It was a slower pace but I was riding. For the month I am at 259.4 miles. Weather permitting I will get my 300 miles. I have an addiction and it is my bike.

My push for 300 miles for August

For the month of July I had 88 miles and for August I am trying to get in 300. On Wednesday I rode 18 miles before work and today I totaled 20 miles in 1 hour 20 minutes. The distances are getting easier and so is the healthy eating. The payoff has been more energy, I feel stronger and in the past 8-10 weeks I have dropped from 250 pounds to 224 pounds off my 5' 11" frame.

More miles on Thursday

Jeramiah brought his friend Jesse along for an afternoon ride. Rode 19 more miles for a total of 32 miles for today. I am pleased with the past month and a half. I have lost 20 lbs and have ridden 200 miles. Time to rest for a couple of days.

Thursday ride

Just got done riding. Did 13 miles in 56 minutes. Felt slow today. Want to get 17 miles in after work.

Riding with CCR

I just got back into biking at the start of July. I forgot how much I enjoyed riding as a kid. This past weekend I rode with CCR (Clark County Riders) out of Springfield, OH. Great group to ride with. It was my first ride with a group and I enjoyed it. Will be back for more!
