    I am going to go for 100 miles this month.
    I am heading out of the country for most of the month and don't think it will be a terribly bike heavy month for me. As a side -- my first ride this month will make it my 12th straight month of riding which is a first for me. Living in MN we can have some wicked winters and its been a lot of fun this year learning how to ride in the colder weather. I have also been fortunate to have some really nice weather (a lot of 5f-20f degree days) this winter.

    This is my first time doing this challenge. Recently I bought a stationary bike for inside as I really missed not riding my bike during the winter months. I am going to try and ride 250 km this month

    I'm in again, I'll go for 500 km this month. Hopefully monsoon season ends soon as the winds here are getting dangerous and I can't do the coastal routes so on heavily trafficked inland roads.

    1st Feb: 19.02 km
    2nd Feb: 25.52 km

    Well, since February is no more stable weather wise than January is here in Arkansas, no firm commitment from me. I just do what I can outdoors, and fill in with the stationary bike.

    I'm in again. I enjoyed January's challenge and found it really interesting to count up my km's and see how far I cycled. I did 331km in January so I'm on for 400km in February.

    Goal - 400km

    02/02 - 20km turbo.

    I'm in. Just bought a fat tire bike yesterday. Wow, just wow. It's a beast, climbs anything. I've got a lot to learn on it, but I just can't stop smiling when I ride that thing! Also do the stationary at the gym. Hopefully in for 150 miles this month.

    Review ...
    Distances include cycling + walking ... but mostly cycling. :grin:
    March: 489.8 km (304.3 miles) = 38 hours 4 min
    April: 491.94 km (305.6 miles) = 43 hours 6 min
    May: 361.81 km (224.8 miles) = 35 hours 50 min
    June: 569.53 km (353.9 miles) = 41 hours 53 min
    July: 230.7 km (143.35 miles) = 32 hours 45 min
    Aug: 211.3 km (131.3 miles) = 28 hours 8 min
    Sep: 306.7 km (190.6 miles) = 35 hour 2 min
    Oct: 441.82 km (274.5 miles) = 47 hours 43 min
    Nov: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
    Dec: 499.91 km (282.8 miles) = 54 hours 56 min
    Jan: 864.79 km (537.35 miles) = 65 hours 36 min

    February has fewer days to work with, and it looks like it will be a very busy month with events, travelling, and starting my next course at uni, so I'll aim for about 48 hours of exercise. :)

    So far ... no cycling.

    I did a 200 km randonnee on Jan 30th and haven't been back on my bicycle since. That's partly because I'm recovering and partly because I've been very busy since then. But I should commence riding again soon. :)

    Totals:
    Feb Cycling Outside: 0 km (0 min)
    Feb Cycling Inside: 0 min
    Feb Walking: 15.8 km (190 min)
    Feb Stairs: 105 flights (84 min)
    Feb Time Total: 274 min = 4 hours 34 min
    Feb Distance Total: 15.8 km = 9.8 miles

    I am such a rookie biker. Been doing 7 miles a day every morning on recumbent stationary. Going for a road bike ride tomorrow (40 degrees in Iowa Brrrrr). Dreams of doing my first century this summer. Welcome to add me as friend I am a great cheerleader!
