July…will August be better?

I started July with a goal of 200 miles for the month. I know there are people who ride that in a week, but that’s plenty for me right now. Thanks to the heat wave, bike maintenance issues (but I now have a new bottom bracket!) and a lack of transportation (and the fact that my neighborhood has zero shade), I revised that to “let’s just try to beat last month’s mileage.” That didn’t happen either. I ended the month with a total of 150. My rides this month were shorter, and there were some weeks I didn’t ride. Hopefully August will be a little kinder to me, with no emergency bike surgery and slightly less horrible weather.
