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

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.
June 2 - 45 min cycling indoors on my trainer

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

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!2 -

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.1 -
Goal for June: 1400
1st: 72.8 miles
2nd: 74.8
3rd: 22.2...needed an easy day
4th: 72 miles...mailed my bike from Wisconsin to Georgia (I own 5 bikes so it's pretty easy)...got to ride even when on vacation!
Rode on Jekyll Island, GA...flat and fast...rode my TT bike...averaged 23 mph for the 3 plus hours
