    I rode all three days this long weekend and was just exhausted today. Still I did go for a quick a spin and added a couple of miles for today. Looks like I will need a much higher goal for next month :)

    Nanacytyc - Sounds like you are planning on lots of fun! I am thinking of driving cross country. Can't imagine biking it...

    Hello everyone, I just recently purchased a new road and mountain bike to enjoy the outdoors more this season. This tread definitely motivates. Does anyone on here use the app MapMyRide? If so feel free to add me Jay Davila

    I use it for routes sometimes, but most people use Strava. If you use Strava, there is a MFP group as well.

    316 miles to date with a bit of hurt pride alone the way (ran into a fence because I paniced). Riding today and when I am done I will paddle over to bike shop to make sure there is no significant damage beyond my pride.

    MapMyRide is the only one I use because it links with myfitnesspal and the national bike challenge website.
