Jul-15:

BJP - back lot: DocN-Kemp-Coley-Leesville U-turn; 34.5 m.; est 1439 climbed ---> effort = 48; 2hrs, 1min; 17.0 mph avg pace.

1st Qt. tot: 20 rides; 755.3 m.; 47 hrs, 31 min; 15.9 mph.
2nd Qt. tot: 43 rides; 2124.3 m.; 134 hrs, 59 min; 15.7 mph.
Jul tot: 9 rides; 405.8 m.; 24 hrs, 42 min; 16.4 mph.
YTD: 72 rides; 3285.4 m.; 207 hrs, 12 min; 15.9 mph.

Rolling 12-mos.: 118 rides; 5584.1 m.; 347 hrs, 46 min; 16.1 mph.

I think I should start counting mileage and time when I cross Six Forks Rd instead of starting / stopping at the car in the parking lot, esp. with the darn extra speed bump to get back to the back parking lot.

addendum:

To get the same total miles at the same overall pace in the same number of rides as I had for all of last year (2008), I need to average 17.6 mph for 48.0 miles per ride for 10 rides. Not going to happen.

Last year, my average pace for Jul-Dec (removing the two MS-150 rides from the sample) was 16.5 mph. If I average 16.5 mph from now until I get my avg 2009 pace up to last year's total avg pace, I would need 34 rides at an average 45.8 miles per ride totalling 1557.4 miles to get back up to last year's avg pace. Given the likelihood of a mountain ride or two, and some tough local rides, I have my doubts.

However, if I ignore the 5 mountain rides, the "my front tire is about to disintegrate" ride, and two slow rides helping with someone else's training, my avg pace for this year is 16.07 mph. So . . . one could say that I am already ahead of last year's total avg pace. After all, last year I had no mountain rides and no rides at someone else's training pace. (Others had slow rides at my training pace; esp. through mid-June.)
