I closed July with a "Cinderella express" ride (to the Palace and back before midnight) to cram a few more km in before the clock strikes 12. I only made it back to Shibuya by midnight, so I stopped my Garmin and restarted it, to record a separate "pumpkin ride" from there.
July was my most active month of the year so far, with 870 km logged on Strava and about 11,000 m of elevation gain. I also crossed the 5,000 km threshold, which means I'm averaging 700 km a month vs. 600 km last year.
The highlight of the month was the ShineOn Norikura event by Half-Fast Cycling. I did a couple of hilly rides to prepare for that, including Otsuki 4.5+Matsuhime, Setagya-Fuji 5gome-Odawara and Oume Temple Loop. Each of these had more total elevation than Norikura and the Fuji climb from R139 even had a longer uninterrupted elevation gain than Norikura and is now my biggest climb on Strava.
I will probably take it a bit easier in August. My only real goal for the month is one century ride (perhaps Okutama BOOB), which will complete a full year of one per calendar month, and my weekly target of 100 km. The next big milestone will be the the September 21-22 走行会921西東京600km富士・諏訪湖 ride with AJ NishiTokyo
