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

My advice to anyone beginning cycling is just start small, ride to the end of your street, road and back again and progress from there

if anyone would like to friend me please feel free

I ended August with 267.6 miles - a bit lower than my goal of 400 miles.

Goal for September and October - 250 miles each month or a total of 500 miles for both months. Difficult now that I'm losing daylight and I don't like to ride after work in the dark. So most long rides will be limited to weekends. Also considering buying a trainer for the winter months...any suggestions from anyone?

So far this month:
9/3 - 27.28 miles
And planning 50 miles tomorrow morning

After back to back nights playing tennis, my legs are shot this morning. I was 6 minutes slower for my commute than yesterday.
Plus it's getting chilly. I don't like it.

Total of about 46 miles so far. For 8 miles per day, I'm on schedule.

Just finished the ride from hell, I saw a appeal on facebook late last night asking for male donors with my blood group to go to Great Ormond Street Hospital to have a blood test to help out a sick little girl so I thought I would ride down there to give it a shot, took me just under 2 hours to do the 25 miles there and over 4 hours to get home because a bus pushed me into a big pothole in London damaging my back wheel, I had to fix 4 punctures and eventually had to change the inner tube(lucky I carry a spare) as a snapped spoke kept ripping the inner tube and I had no back brake as my wheel was so badly buckled, home now and exhausted but I have to strip down my bike to replace the broken spoke and straighten my wheel.

Low mileage the last few days as I've been sick, but just replaced my old saddle with a new one and hope to start making up miles this weekend.

Sept. total so far: 76.047 mi

I'm in! So far I've had a good start to September:

9/1 - 8
9/1 - 26*
9/4 - 11
9/5 - 25*
9/6 - 32*

Total so far 102 miles. The asterisks mark rides on my fixed gear bike. I think I've finally found a good tracking app for my Windows Phone: Sports Tracker. It's not as flaky as MapMyRide, which kind of freaks out in the city and if I go indoors, plotting points at random nowhere near where I am. Sports Tracker just grabs the right points. It also pauses while I'm not moving and only grabs the rolling miles if I want. I like it.

Here's a pic from tonight's ride, a couple miles north of downtown Fort Worth

Count me in! I recently had surgery on my left foot and have finally healed enough that I can get my bike shoe on again. Today I knocked out 10 miles at a rapid clip of about 16mph. It went really well and I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's ride. I'd like to do 100 a week but with my job that's going to be tough. I'm USCG and travel quite a bit. See ya out there!! I use Stava on my iphone. If you'd like to pair up with me search for pedalzombie or message me with your id.

It feels great to get back on the bike, doesn't it? I missed all of May and some of June with a broken arm. It's only been the last couple of weeks that it's starting to feel 100%, and I've got a lot of miles to make up.
