    Were getting our first measurable snow today in MN which means that time will be split between snow riding and trainer riding. Ended up picking up an Ant+ dongle so that I can ride with Zwift this year; I look forward to breaking the monotony of trainer riding with it.

    With 2016 coming up shortly -- do you like the monthly threads or would you like to do a group 2016 thread where we can have our history for 2016 in one thread?

    Monthly. I think a year long thread would be too long to be manageable.

    I have been in Challenges both ways as in a group and just a thread such as this. I have enjoyed both of them. The group can still be broken down into months under disscussions. If you keep it as a thread it will stay a small group as it is much harder to find. Going to group and joinning people will find it alot earier and can get large. The large group was fun as we had over a hundred members. We divided up into 6 teams with equal abilities on each team to challenge each other who could ride the most for the month. Teams were divided up with the long riders being group leaders, body of the team each having the riders down to a couple miles a day. The group leader got health issues and family issues too and deleted her account and the group ended.

    I enjoy this thread too, will join either way. Group can be work to manage if your willing?

    I enjoy Zwift pretty good. I've logged 9 hours on it (160 miles & 8k climbing). They need more courses. 2 free months if you have Strava Premium. Plus the 50km and/or 15day trial...

    Well, with traveling for Thanksgiving, I didn't get anywhere near my 250 goal, but this group is great to keep me motivated and getting out on the bike just to be able to post on this thread. Motivation is a strange thing. It also motivated me to get a trainer, so YAY!

    Nov. 30 - 12.7 miles
    Nov. 25- 7.3 miles
    Nov. 24 - 9.5 miles
    Nov. 17 - 12 miles - (one hour on trainer)
    Nov. 19 - 8 miles - (45 minutes on trainer)
    Nov. 15 - 16 miles
    Nov. 13 - 13.3 miles
    Nov. 11 - 31 miles
    Nov. 9 - 4.5 miles
    Nov. 6 - 19.7 miles
    Nov. 4 - 8 miles
    Nov. 3 - 14.6 miles

    Total miles - 156.6 Goal - 250
