    120 miles
    (going to get a bit of a late start due to a motorcycling trip, so cut back my projected goal a bit)

    I'd like to ride my bike during the month of July, but so far, the weather isn't letting me!

    My july cycling goal is to buy a road bike! But man, bikes are a lot more money than I remember them as a kid. So until I hit the loto, I'll have to settle for the stationary bike at the Y on Tuesdays an Thursdays.

    If you aren't going to be racing, a hybrid that leans toward the road bike side (or "flat bar road bike" as some call them) may fit the bill. My Trek FX 7.2 ( http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/town/fitness/fx/7_2_fx# ) keeps up pretty well with the road bikes, and is about half the cost of a low-end road bike...

    I never learned to ride a bike.

    I do have an exercise bike....tried it last weekend but only lasted 5 minutes.

    Another option for you is to buy used. Go to a bike shop and have them size you up and look on the Internet and/or bike store bulletin boards. There are lots of good deals out there.

    Check out craigslist. There are tons of good buys out there.

    I'm at 45 miles for the month so far, I have the RAIN ride next Saturday, my first attempt at that it is a 169 mile ride. If I live through that my goal for the month is to hit 500.

    I'm hoping to do the RAIN ride next year after I have more cycling under my belt. Would love a recap of your experience.
