Nice Work !!

We had weekend Monsoons here in the north.
So I'm now a bit behind.

8 & 9 Done though.

Our club had a nice memorial ride yesterday.
It was for a Tri guy killed on his bike by a drunk driver
12 years ago. Very touching and a real testament to the man
that people still remember.

The rain has been reeking havoc on my schedule. Another rainy afternoon, so no ride yesterday. Luckily, I have room at work for the bike to sit overnight and wait for my return. Hopefully I can make it up today.

2nd stage down - 15.3 miles/1 hr - I missed 2 bike workouts last week - one on tuesday because I fell asleep on the living room floor, one on friday because of a close call with an idiot while driving home which kinda freaked me out a little

I'm nearly halfway done. One more ride this week and a race this weekend will push me over the 50% mark. 

GO SKY/EUROPCAR!!!!!!

No Bike (in desperate need of service) + no internet for a couple of days was making my attempt at the challenge tough.

But I'm back and ready to ride and log!

I'm not getting much biking in this week, just been too tired in the morning to do a mountain bike ride, and missing my night ride today because I'm finally (lord I hope) finishing replacing pretty much everything but the frame and saddle on my Speed Concept, just in time (lord I hope) for a 10 mile time trial followed by a 1/10/1 duathlon Saturday morning. Everyone pray for no rain, I don't want to get my new components, wheels and aerobars dirty!

man, I am looking like a slacker! I have several undocumented rides that need to be added. Hopefully I can get to a PC soon since the google sheet does not like the iPad.

. I believe for rides I am right around 50%, but for time I am short. I have had a few rides cut short due to outside forces, most likely the last few days of the challenge will be spent with me having several longs rides to make up for the shortage.

You can do it !!! I am kind of the same way, a lot of my rides have been shorter than projected. Might need a long one at the end to get to "Paris"

Hope all is ok. I'm drafting the memo now

Today's ride tipped me over half way. The Rapha Womans 100 tomorrow should help too!

I just finished stage 5 of 7 and am at 73%.  Having some hip issues or I'd bump up my goal.

Finally got another good ride in--between work sucking my will to live and feeling lousy and crappy weather I have not been outside much this week.  Much needed two wheeled therapy.

Time wise I am at goal, but I have 4 rides to do between now & next week.  Looks like some bike warm ups at the gym for sure!!
