    Please count me in on this challenge

    I recently completed a cycle ride from London to Paris with my wife and I lost in the region of 6llbs in 4- 5 days, this sounds a long way to ride BUT my wife had never cycled that distance before and it was a great journey being able to cycle through the French countryside and then into Versaille http://en.chateauversailles.fr/homepage and then through the forests that surround Paris. Seeing the Eiffel tower for the first time while we were about 10 miles way from the centre of Paris was such a wonderful moment

    AM ride 11.5 miles
    PM ride 10.9 miles
    Total 22.4 miles

    MTD - 179.7 miles
    Goal - 500

    Well can't ride, at least for a couple days, but when I do it will have to be very light effort. Finally got my knee surgery done, and they said give it a day or two before getting back on. Still hoping I can do 4-5 miles a day, even if it is broken up to smaller runs.

    Get well! At least this should improve your riding, right? I broke my arm riding earlier this year and missed a month and a half; no way I'll make my annual goal. But I'm glad to be riding again.

    Today marks the end of the second week of September. Currently sitting at 160km for the month so far, spread across 10 rides. All on a $99 mountain bike, most on gravel trails - would probably be at 300km with a real bike on real roads, lol.
