Weekly Cycling Log - August 13 - August 19

Hard not to have a killer week when you do 435+ in 48 hours. I did take my sixth "Zero" day of the year and first since May 31st. I do have many days under 10 miles with only commuting, but only six days where my behind hasn't been on a bike.

Back to posting the "boring" weekly miles. Notice however there are TANDEM miles now! Next year I'm going to revamp the worksheet with many more categories: Indoor vs. Outdoor miles, Tandem miles, Commuting/Errand Miles, Road Miles, Mtn. Bike miles. If you have any input or awesome spreadsheets, feel free to send them my way!

A "not so good" week with back to back goose eggs over a holiday weekend. One day was the state track meet and the other was KP (kid patrol) along with getting ready for the Tyler Hamilton Foundation crew to land on my doorstep. Still not having a bad month, and next month will start the "kick it in" for gut check training!

Weekly Cycling Log: May 14 - May 20

Little better week, but most of my mileage came in three days. This week might be close to the same in that regard. State Track Meet Friday/Saturday is bound to kill mileage a bit if I don't get a chance to ride up at least part way.
