I finished off my 1000 mile bike challenge yesterday. I rode 1000 miles in 30
days. This started as me just checking my stats for the month and realizing
I'd done almost 800 miles and there was still about a week left in the month.
I decided that the extra 200 miles was something I wanted to push for. Since
Thursday I have ridden those 200 miles. Thursday I rode a little over 60
miles, Friday I rode right around 50, Saturday I took off as I was traveling
and then yesterday (Sunday) I rode 89 miles to finish off the challenge.

Yesterday was the hardest day of riding I've done in a while, and that
includes the 450 mile week I had at the beginning of June. While a lot of the
places I ride have hills, where I am now is completely flat and going South
had a tremedous, nearly steady, headwind. To top that all off, we're currently
experiencing a heat wave that's set to get worse as the week goes on. The
temperature approached 95F and the humidity was over 80%, just terrible.

I'm going to take a day to rest at the beach and do as little as possible. I
also brought my speed skates with me this week. I hope to log some miles there
as well.
