I'm in. I'll aim for 60 miles again this month. I have less time to ride so I'll have to pick up the pace to make it.

Monday we did a quick 4ish mile ride (I'll check my phone for specifics later) and today we did 5 miles. Oh and "we" is myself (carrying our 2 year old), my husband and our 6 year old. We bike as a family most of the time. Means less milage for the hubby and I, but good family time and hopefully the girls are building life long habits of fitness and being active.

Can't ride till next weekend.

We had to stop for about 20 minutes because the police closed down the road and bike trail because there was a coyote that had apparently tried to attack two bikers! We waited and waited and then heard a gun shot. A few minutes later they said we could go by. We'd never been on this trail or area before so had no idea how to get around because it was all highways except for the trail.

I became a bike enthusiast about two years ago. I have a mountain and a road bike. My road bike is more a spring/summer thing and I can average about 100 miles a week during those times. My mountain bike is more of a fall/winter thing (I love those trails when it's cold!) but sadly, my boyfriend wrecked it and the front tire wobbles pretty badly. I just found the most amazing mountain bike trail (Complete with some advanced trails that have some awesome jumps) but won't be able to make it with my bike in this condition.

Because of my bikes sad condition we got a gym membership yesterday. I'll be able to do some stationary biking (First time ever) so I don't lose these legs to steel and can take on the PURGATORY next spring (I say spring because I'm not going to do it with all the people, I'm soloing this bad boy).

Hey Y'all! I just found this challenge and would love to join.

I'm an cycling novice, just started 3 weeks ago. And I'm training for the BP MS150 held in April 2015 (2-day, 150mile ride from Houston to Austin).

I currently train 3x/week - about 10miles after work (and before dark) on Tuesday & Thursday and a longer ride on Sunday. Tomorrow I will attempt 15miles with rolling hills, my previous "long ride" was 13.8miles last Sunday.

My goal is 100 miles for November.

11/02 - 13.8
11/04 - 10.0
11/06 - 10.0

33.8/100 miles for November.

I'm also looking for cycling friends for support, inspiration and knowledge/info.

It starting to get a little cooler out there which means longer rides for me. I'm going to shoot for 500 miles this month. That would be a personal best if I can hit it.

Goal: 500 miles (+75 miles running)
MTD 168 miles cycling (+26 miles running)

Welcome Calliope610! I would like to do that BP MS150 in 2015 as well. I hope your training goes well!

Turned in a solid triathlon performance today. Upgraded my ride from a decent 2005 aluminum/tiagra-105 mix bike (trek 1200) to a more decent very rarely used 2004 carbon fiber/ultegra bike (specialized roubaix comp) on Friday for an extra $360 out of pocket via some craigslist buying & selling. Now that I'm done with the tapering, I'll ramp back up the mileage next week on the new ride.

Well I made it. 3,000 miles in 18 months (13 months of actual riding with 5 winter months off). With the 2 major setbacks (bike frame crack & a terrible bike accident-unrelated) I was worried I wouldn't reach my goal this year but I did, yesterday.

14.5mph average speed

As expected, the increasing cold AM temps has reduced my commuting quite a bit. First time logging this month so here goes.
