No, not really.  All the purposeful riding I’ve done this summer has been in August here in Nova Scotia.  The rest was prelude.

Here’s how RidewithGPS [linkie] sums up my August activity.

Not too shabby for a tourist, eh?  Or a flatlander.  The thirty thousand and change calories RwGPS says I’ve burned- an estimate based on an algorithm, I’m sure, but probably a pretty informed one- are from about zero exercise-related calories through the end of May of this year, and up from a handful- a couple of thousand a month- in June and July.  My elevation gain is more than if I had summited Mt. McKinley Denali from sea level, which of course everyone knows you can’t do on a bicycle.

On to September!  I’ll sum up the first two weeks of the ride tonight.
