August/September Challenge
Okie dokie. We're doing an Ultra Challenge this month, 2 months combined into one Challenge. Get some goals up for the last remaining months of summer, and get ready to ride!

Good idea to trick it up.
I just brought home my new born son. 48 hours old at this moment. Riding might be a little tougher these next two months. I'm going to stretch myself anyway.
800 miles total!

Sorry guys - too much stuff happening in the next two months to even consider a challenge and logging. Going to be winding down the summer too. You guys and gal knock 'em dead though.
Congrats Flee!

Looks like very little interest in the challenge. Makes me sad. I'll have to push myself.

Congrats Flee! He is beautiful!
Thanks for noting that you are the one on the right in the last photo, I was guessing wrong!  |

Just got back from a 3,200 mile road trip yesterday, guess I better put something down before I do the Ride for Sight charity ride tomorrow, going to shoot for 50 miles since I'll be turning 50 next week. It's going to depend a lot on wind speed and direction as to how far we go, though. Not much less fun than doing a return leg into an increasing headwind and rising temps.
Put me down for 250, this is the time of year that I start commuting more regularly.
