The last day of August has arrived and I am just a few miles short of the 600 mile mark that was my goal. If had rode yesterday it would have put me over the top but I had some chores around home that needed to get done plus I wanted to watch stage 3 of the Vuelta a’ Espana that I had recorded earlier in the day. Rain was in the area although it did not land at our place. Our yard is super dry so it was a relief for it to rain yesterday and today in the afternoon. By the time I got home from work today the roads had dried out and riding was not a problem except for a couple of low spots. The grass and plants might make it now.
No other riders were spotted on the route this evening. Daylight is getting shorter especially with the clouds from the rain. With 4 months left and about 1500 miles to go for my year’s goal (5200 miles) I will need to average 400 miles per month. When November and December get here that will be difficult.
