Fun fact: did you know we started the "Today" microblog thread series in June 2010? Time flies when you're having fun. Not everyone's a fan of this cycloconsciousness stream, but enough people contribute to make me think it's still a good release valve. I was screaming at salmon then, and I'm still screaming at them now.
I finished July 2015 with 1,502 km on the clock. A little more than June. And 10,661 m climbed - substantially less than last month due to the absence of Yabitsu hill repeats.
Totals for the year to date: 10,491 km across and 108,180 m up.
Highlights of July for me were (1) Norikura - a charity weekend ride that I organise annually. This year was memorable in that nobody crashed horrifically and nearly died but the weather was really crappy for both days; (2) Fujisan - finally getting to ride the Takizawa rindō. I want to repeat that ride soon.
Got a new carbon frame (Neil Pryde Bura SL). Sent back a split titanium frame for repair. Spent a lot of hours commuting on my Panaracer fixie.
Too many of my rides are getting spoiled by my Garmin Edge 810 spontaneously shutting down and losing all the cool data. First world problem. I slightly hate myself for believing that the only viable solution is to buy a new Garmin Edge 1000 (and a yellow silicone case for it, to irritate the TCC site admin).
Anyway, keep the rubber side down boys and girls.
