Kind of lost track of this thread in August, time to get back at it!

Sept 3 rest day
Sept 4 back to work, bowling

Just to recap, I have been participating in the National Bike Challenge since May. Wisconsin participated in the first challenge last year, and it was a big hit. This year, the challenge went national. Bikers from across the country recorded over 12 million miles during the 4 months of the challenge. In Wisconsin alone, bikers recorded 2 million miles.

My personal goal was to record 1000 miles in the 4 month challenge. I ended up falling short of my goal by just 17 miles. So, will set this goal for next year. I actually have gone well over the mark if counting the previous months rides.

I hope that September and October continue to bring really nice biking weather!

Congrats and good for you!!!
Just think if you are only 17 miles short - how many miles you would have done without your setback.
You might not have actually physically made it- but you made it!

No kidding!

I participated last year, and I recorded just over 800 miles throughout the season, so to be well over that mark and still have a few months left for biking is really neat!

My employer participated, and I was only beat out by one person at work in total miles, and it was a guy who is probably 15 years younger than me and is very athletic-appearing. LOL!
