Hopefully the summer heat will recede soon. I can still go far, but more slowly and I feel it much more the following day.
In August I crossed both the 6,000 km and 60,000 m climbing marks for the year, so at the current pace I'd reach 9,000 km with 90,000 m by the end of the year. With a weekly minimum goal of 100 km and one 600 km ride coming up on the weekend of the 21/22, I should do at least 900 km in September, which would make it my second busiest month this year.
According to Strava, @Half-Fast Mike did 1999 km in August [*]. Before I went to buy milk at a shop 2.5 km from home last night, I was at 999 km. Glad to see there are still sane people who don't cycle by Strava numbers!
I have to admit, I am influenced by the numbers. They add an extra element of challenge to the attraction of cycling, over and above the joy of seeing places from close-up, freedom to go anywhere and experiencing one's own body.
[*] EDIT: Ooops, not really! It was 1448.7 km. My mistake!
