2025 Cycling Challenge

wendsg

Here we are, kicking off our fourth year!

Like cycling? So do I! This challenge is a simple one - ride 2025 miles in 2025!

Type of cycle? Doesn't matter. Indoor, outdoor, don't care. As long as it has pedals (whether for feet or for hands) and wheels (virtual or real), it counts! Peleton? Zwift? Road? Mountain trails? Rouvy? Recumbents? Handcycles? e-Bikes? All are welcome!

Links to Strava or another fitness app are encouraged to keep each other motivated and show what we're up to.

Kicking off on January 1st, 2025.

I'm back!
2024 wasn't a successful year for me. I rode 502 miles. This year will be much better!

wendsg

@ashleycarole86 I do hope this year's much better for you!! And I'm glad to see you at it again.

First ride of the new year here! Kicking it off right. (If only I didn't have so many connectivity issues during this ride, it would've been more enjoyable.)

Ride 1 - 16.00 miles <- Zwift Meetup

Such a nice post.

I'm ambivalent on committing on day 1, but such a nice idea and I just happened to have pumped up my tires and gone for a five mile ride. We'll see, the challenge may creep up on me. Good luck and happy New Year.

Hi everyone. I’m back for another year too. My mother in law passed away after Christmas which turned things a bit upside down for the family. But I managed to finish last year at 2024.95 miles. I’ve been on the bike everyday so far getting some kind of miles done but didn’t get chance to post. So far I have 25.73 miles.

01/01 5.15 miles
02/01 5.02 miles
03/01 10.28 miles
04/01 5.28 miles

Total 25.73/2025

So sorry to hear of the passing of your mother in law @Mari33a
I lost my mother in law on December 5
The holidays were tough this year
Great start to the year on the bike!

@Mari33a and @ashleycarole86 my heart goes out to both of you. So sorry to hear of your losses

Been delinquent the last few days to to chaos around the house (trying to catch up on chores the Holidays put on hold, installing a new irrigation system, rescreening the porch so the cat can get off my butt about not being allowed to go onto the back patio, installing new faucets, etc). Still getting the rides in, but forgetting to post. Here's me catching up.
