I was just going to reply with similar comment š
I think you can do trail maintenance and take a mulligan which might count but I do not believe anyone is keep track other than all of us encouraging each other to complete as many days as we can.
In the past, an hour of trail maintenance counted as a missed day ride.

I wish I didn't know this....... I hope I don't subconsciously look for an off day.
7/24
1:11 bunny dash
Wasn't feeling a rain ride so waited it out. It was hard to gauge how much it rained and when I decided on roadie, I came out to find it wasn't wet under the trees. pooh, should have mtb. Oh well, decided to mostly hit Mercer Meadows, which I used to live 2 miles from. Kinda amazing how this place has progressed in a 15 year period. No singletrack but nice crushed stone and some paved multiuse trails, some tire track old farm roads and some grass paths. Someone must have also donated money and designated it to build way overbuilt bridges. Used to be my go to for snow rides where trails were not ridable. In any case, I circled around pretty much every which way. Lots of bunnies darting back and forth and picked up some weird tag a long.

Same pathway setup, with paved sections as VanHorne Park in Skillman by Halters. Bunnies EVERYWHERE!

24/31 - Sooooo, the airlines completely fubarād my sonās return to LA Tuesday afternoon (of course AFTER I dropped him off at Newark) the first flight he could get on was at 5am todayā¦ from Philadelphia! š¤¬ (I do not live near Philly) . Well, since Iām an āon timeā = Late kinda person (yeah, Iām a joy to be around š) I knew I was going to leave the house to drop him off by 3:30AM at around 2:15AM; do I try to try to get to bed early for a short sleep and trust myself to A) get up on time & B) ride later in the day?
Yeah, rightā¦you guessed it. Stay up and ride just after midnight it is (was). 12:03AM start time for #24.
Of course half an hour before he was supposed to board they announced the flight was delayed. He finally got on a plane around 7:30AM. š¤Æ

21/31 for me.
Was totally prepared to embrace the suck and ride in the rain this morning. I even had the MTB ready to go in case it was bad enough that even the gravel bike wouldnāt feel safe. I ride flats on the MTB and figured for one hour ride the knobby tires on the roads would be ok.
To my surprise at 6:15 the roads were dry and despite rain showing in the radar it wasnāt raining.
Out the door by 6:30 and just did more high cadence and easy rolling around for an hour. Glad I some dynamic stretches and especially for my back last night but legs are really tired. Back to the compression boots tonight for sure.
Forgot to take any pics so hereās one of the protein breakfast burrito I ate this morning that my son got for me to try.

Heās been into trying stuff from āAmyās kitchenā and I told him anything tofu makes me gag but I ate it pretending it wasnāt tofu and it actually wasnāt that bad.
Left house thinking I will do my 11.7 mile loop. Five to seven minutes into it I started feeling rain drops. Did not want to deal with crazy drivers on Rt.27 with potential rain so took the easy couple of rounds around the neighborhood. I dragged it as slow as I could so I did not have to go back out in case it rained before the hr was up.
