Haven't seen this pop up yet so putting here the June cycling thread!

Welcome to our June Cycling Thread. If you are new to posting on this thread, or if you are new to cycling, We welcome you! If you are returning from a previous thread, We welcome you, too.

This thread is for anyone who rides a bike. Do you bike to work? Do you pull your children to the park? So you ride weekends? Do you spin, at home or the gym? Or, are you just starting out and remembering how much fun you had biking when you were a kid? However you choose to push your pedal, you are welcome on this thread.

I am a fairly casual person and, as such, have created a fairly casual thread. There are no rules to how or what you post. My only request is that you be kind. You may post miles, minutes, # of rides, what the scenery looks like, anything. Whatever will motivate you to get on your bike.

Please know that everyone who posts is welcome and encouraged, whether you’re riding a 100 miler on the weekend or just riding around the neighborhood.

wayneh73

Again no monthly goal as such for me just working towards a 5000miles/year goal

saphin

I'm in again. It's the rainy season here and I don't ride in monsoon rains so I'll reduce my goal to 500 km, though I hope to get significantly more if the weather allows.

Thanks so much for pointing me to this thread, Steve! There are many big milers here, I just hope that I don't do too bad

I would love to be in on this challenge I only started stationary cycling on May 11th and went 45miles in May.
I don't really have a goal but would like to see what I can do in a month and try to do better from there. So I guess my goal would be to do at least 50miles

June 1st: 7.7 Miles

Can't believe the mileage that you guys have done its amazing would love those goals one day.

Last June is going to be hard to beat. Last June, we spent 3 weeks in summertime in Canada cycling and hiking etc. etc. This June, we'll be in the depths of winter here in Tasmania.

However, I will make an attempt to get somewhere close to last June in terms of time or distance ... or both if I can manage it.

Got a short 19 mile organized ride as a fund raiser for the bike trail tonight. "Twilight over the tippy" named because the trail crosses the tippecanoe river. Beer and pizza included after at Tippy's Pizza.

Thanks narak

@savannahs2016

We all started somewhere, 8 miles on my crappy old mountain bike was my start point way back in my "fat forties" and tomorrow I'm going to do a 127 mile event. Keep it up and enjoy!

There's a major storm coming. They've been advertising it for days now ... supposed to roll in this evening. So we set off relatively early (11 am) in order to get this ride in before the storm arrived, and yet late enough so that the frost would have melted off the roads.

It was about 10C where we live when we set off, and climbed up the Southern Outlet. That's about a 12 km climb and by the time we got to the top, we were both overheating because we had dressed for cold. I figured I'd be shedding clothes as soon as we got to the bottom of the descent.

But when we got to the bottom of the descent, it was indeed cold ... it had dropped to 8C and then down to 7C while we were riding. That was combined with a little breeze and heavy mist all the way out making it feel quite chilly. I was wishing for winter cycling boots! My toe covers weren't quite up to the job.

We turned around and fortunately the mist/drizzle stopped, and what little wind there was dropped off to practically nothing.

We had thought about stopping for lunch, but opted to just keep riding back home instead. A hot shower and coffee were calling! So we kept cycling back to Hobart and then up and over Bonnet Hill.

Our elevation profile shows one big climb at the beginning, then almost flat, and then another big climb at the end. Variety!

Happily, we did the ride within randonneuring time. Mission accomplished!

There were a number of cyclists out there today ... all bundled up and looking rather cold. So we weren't the only ones.

Goal for June: 1400
