The numbers are in! To be precise, my Cycle September numbers are in.

I logged my rides in the Love to Ride site all month; and today I checked to see what my total was. The number given was 542 miles.

I was surprised, because I didn\’t think it was really that much.  I dug into my pen-and-paper cycling journal to double check that figure; and I came up with a total of 521.23 miles.

Then I remembered: when I log rides online for such challenges, the numbers are automatically rounded off. For instance, 14.6 miles becomes 15 miles. Those extra few-tenths of miles, like pennies, can really add up!

Now that the numbers are in, I\’m back to my usual routine; and take Mondays off from bicycles. I think it\’s good for me to have a day away from riding once a week. My legs can recover better from the long Sunday ride.

Did anybody out there do the Cycle September challenge? How did it go?
