At the beginning of the month, I set a tentative goal to reach 700 miles before the end of July. There are still two days left in July and I have already made it up to 700 miles, which makes this month a record setting month for me. I can’t believe I actually did it! Ahh! 
In other exciting news, while I was biking last night, a cop pulled over to tell me I was “well-lit”. So now my nighttime lighting system is fully police-approved.

Good question, Anthony. I am hoping to get at least 600 in but I don’t want to make a firm goal higher than that because one week in August will be so insane I will barely be on my bike at all 😦

You don’t have to make your goals higher, just make goals that motivate you. Good luck and I am sorry you will have some time away from your bike. From reading your blog, I know how much you enjoy it.

It won’t really be tooo bad, I will still get 60 commuting miles in but other than that who knows. It is strange, just a few months ago that was enough miles a week to make my legs happy but now I wanna bike every single day 🙂

Lights are very good! I am sure I would be a squashed little cyclist by now if I didn’t have my flashing red lights 🙂

Nice work on reaching the 700 club and I know they were all quality miles too. And when the cop said you were well lit maybe he wasn’t talking about the bike!! Might be trying to get a date?

I hope the 700 club doesn’t charge membership fees, if so, I quit!
Hmmm….I don’t think cops are allowed to do that while on duty are they? Clearly, their main concern is giving citizens feedback on the appropriateness of their lighting systems.

778 in a month is awesome and impressive! I am hoping that I never, ever have to buy a car because I am sure my mileage would go way down as well.
And thank you so much for your kind words, they put a huge smile on my face!

I ride to a music festival every Friday night called Summer Sound Series on Pier 3 I have front and rear mounted lights as well as lights on my spokes. When I ride at night, my bike is very well lit. When I ride home from the music festival on Friday night, so am I.
