    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.

    11/9 - 24 miles (@ 19.7mph)
    11/8 - 13 miles
    11/6 - 16 miles
    11/5 - 8 miles
    11/2 - 14 miles
    11/1 - 3 miles

    MTD: 78 miles
    Goal: 400 miles

    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.


    11/08 - 10.61
    11/10 - 12.01
    11/11 - 12.03
    11/12 - 07.13 (AM Commute)
    11/12 - 12.03 (PM Commute)

    MTD: 53.81
    YTD: 1,699.25
