    The call of the expresso VR bike machine at my gym got the better of me today, as I spotted a friend on the leaderboard, and had to decimate his times. Still, 40 minutes above 250 watts probably wasn't the best strategy to take right after a long swim, and immediately before starting my lifting then running workouts.

    7/1 - 25 miles
    7/2 - 15 miles
    7/3 - 71 miles
    7/4 - 11 miles
    7/5 - 18 miles
    7/6 - 25 miles (14 expresso, 11 bike to/from tonight's game).

    Total: 165 miles
    Goal: 500 miles
    Remaining: 335 miles

    New to this thread, and a novice cyclist, but here's my goal for this month: 423 miles. Here's hoping I meet it!

    I'm so glad to see that my cycling thread has continued on! I am very excited to see this, it has been going for 3 years now. Sadly, my health has kept me off of my bike and computer problems have kept me off of the thread. I just wanted to pop in and say I'm so impressed by all of you and keep up the great rides!

    Hey @CricketKate ! Thanks for poppin in! I hope you don't mind the plagiarized intro -- I figure it's the best way to keep this threads legacy going.

    Cheers

    7/06 - 16 miles @17.8mph
    7/07 - 31 miles @16.5mph -- About half way into ride I rain into a WALL of rain. Could only see where I was going by following the white line on the side of the road (and thus almost rode into a downed tree!). Luckly rain slowed down after 10 min.

    I am just a beginner and never set a distance goal before. So far, I have done 41 miles, so guess I cd set a goal of doing 130 like u and that will give me an aim. My knee is a little stiff as one day I pushed up my speed and another did my longest distance of 15 miles (took me 2 days to get over that)! If I set a steady pace but a moderate distance, could b a good challenge without pushing myself too far. I want to aim to be able to get up most hills still pedalling and also plan a longer ride of maybe 30 miles but that is work in progress!!

    Beyond annoyed there was a MFP TDF challenge hidden in a group within a sea of other groups. The BAD part is there is no way to FIND said group. Search function is broken. Group browse is an unsorted, chaotic mess with a list a mile long. I actually had to use Google to find the group. Eh.....

    7/10 - 94 miles @15.8mph w/4,900' climbing. Felt great the first 40 miles (the climbing part) but I was going too fast so felt totally dead the last 30 miles (the downhill/flat part). Not too bad for getting up at 3:30am for work and putting in a full 8hr day by noon. ;)


    Total July miles:191
    July goal miles: 800

    July goal #2: Put in a good showing for the MFP TdF bike challenge.
