Just need 10 more miles for August. In September I'm shooting for 100. Purchased a new bike towards the end of July. The first new one in 50 years. My how they have changed. I've noticed you still have to pedal them though. The gears click when you are going into a different gear. So far I've only used 8 of the 24 speeds, 9-16th. In 16th you are definitely working those legs and flying.

    Excellent idea! Perhaps I'll do something similar, although more focused on trying to run any distance at all at the moment.

    I started off walking but a knee injury reoccurred and biking is great for the knees. Just take it slow and easy. I'm not near where I want to be. I'd like to ride with a biking group but I'm too slow and can't go 25 miles on one hop......Yet.

    I don't think I'm going to make it the 100 miles. Only 36 miles in so far for September. However, I may get close.

    That 100 miles didn't work out. I fell while pushing my bike and nearly broke my arm. It still looks funny and that was 7.5 weeks ago. However, I'm thinking new helmet and I'm back at it.
