My August on the Bike

 I think I'd describe my August as an encouraging start.


525 km

18 rides

3 ascents of Castle Hill 

54.2 km my longest ride


Nothing epic there, but considering I'd only racked up 1000km in the last 6 mths, I'd describe that as a very positive month.

I think that's enough rides, but I think I'll need to push up the average distances and attempts on Castle Hill (it's the only serious climb in these parts).  I'd also like to do a regular ride of 70+km - reckon those longer endurance efforts will really help with my cycling.

I do also do some exercise off the bike: the odd light gym visit, and walking the 4km round trip to the local coffee haunt. It's a rare day that I don't do some exercise.

I'm also trying to keep the calories down. I'm trying to run at a 7500 KJ (net) energy intake

The scales are also recognizing my efforts: down to 100.1kg. That's a drop of 2.9 kilos over the month. Still plenty to go, but again, promising.
