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 bicycle ... or unicycle, tricycle, tandem, etc.
Are you an experienced road cyclist? Do you bike to work? Do you pull your children to the park? Do you ride weekends? Do you spin at home or in the gym? Is Zwift your thing? Do you race crits, ironman, or centuries? Touring? Audax/Randonneuring?
Or are you just starting out and remembering how much fun you had biking when you were a kid?
There are no set challenges - this is a mixed-ability / mixed-experience / everyone welcome group.
Just pick the target that you would like to achieve this month and post updates throughout the month as you work toward your target. We love seeing photos of your rides and hearing all about them.
Given the current situation many of us will be cycling solo or indoors. Don't feel alone! Share your accomplishments with us.
(BTW - Thanks to @CricketKate for starting all this back in 2012)

First ride of the year with 20 miles round trip to the seafront. Trying to add in more inclines which I struggle with though still under 1.000 ft of climbing on this ride.

January cycling is living down to expectations so far - sadly!
Ultra painful hands and a puncture on one ride and on today's ride got soaked in freezing rain with a howling headwind despite the forecast showing rain unlikely and a gentle breeze.
Not setting myself any hard goals this month as realistically the weather conditions will dictate how much riding I can tolerate. 4 or 5C and dry I can stand about an hour at a brisk pace, when colder it becomes too unpleasant.2 -
3rd jan Off to an indoor start with 5km! Aiming for 100 km this month indoors or out. It’s a start!5

Just found this challenge so I'm in! My goal is to ride at least 3 days a week, outside when I can (I live in snowy/cold Colorado) trainer when I must. Normally I ride more but I'm trying to work in some more weights for the off season2

Hey don’t compare yourself to others just be the best that you can be. The most important thing is that you enjoy it.2 -
