June Cycling Inside: 215 minutes on bicycle on trainer in basement = 3 hours 35 min
June Cycling Outside: 493.53 km (306.6 miles) in 1531 min cycling outside = 25 hours 31 min

Aug 1 - chilly (9C) and windy (30 km/h gusting to 57 km/h) with a "feels like" temp of about 5C and a little blast of sleet just to keep things interesting.
And we cycled 38.5 km up the cycleway and back on our Thorn touring bicycles.
So looking forward to summer!!

This sounds like a good challenge for me to find my cycling mojo back will aim for 250

Thanks @HopHead28. I doubt I will make 1,000 miles but will for sure try.

My goal for August will be to get 200 miles in.0

Thanks! It will be tough but I am gonna try. The commitment on a daily level is pretty high. Average 32 miles every single day of August... so a few rainy days or an illness will scrub any real chance. lol
Funny thing is in January I set my 2015 goal for 2,000 miles and I passed that in June. My 2014 total was 1,700 but also on a mountain bike, not a faster, more efficient road bike so at the time it seemed reasonable.0 -
August goal - 100 miles. This is a big deal for me, as I have never really set a monthly mileage goal.
8/2 - 12.24 miles / Average 14.1 mph
That's a great goal. I'm doing 240 just to see if I can but I'm like you and have never really set a goal so we will see. Keep up the good work.

@czymom123 @howie6267 Congrats on setting goals for the month. As long as you keep them in the back of your mind you will be able to reach them!
Great work!

I'm gonna jump in this month. I'm going to aim for 160 miles. My daughter just started school so we're getting used to the new routine and I'm not sure how it's gonna go so we'll see.
I'm hoping to get in 10-15 miles this afternoon while the kid is in gymnastics. The biking/ jogging path is very close to her gym so it works out well.0 -
