    Hello all,

    I've had a road bike for about three years collecting dust in the shed (only did a couple of miles on it) had a spinning bike for 4 weeks now and steadily progressed from 9km per 30 mins to 18km per 45 mins. Have finally got the road bike out and started using that too.

    Totals for this week, 57 kms spinning, 56 kms cycled in two outings, not massive compared to some of you but pretty good for a reformed couch potato like me.

    Just about to go and fit new Shimano R540 light release pedals to the roadie (II am a novice) , i'll let you know how I get on.

    Target for next year is to ride the Cardiff - Tenby 100miler.

    Thanks for reading my post

    Well done

    That Cardiff - Tenby ride sounds good! Long enough to be a challenge and short enough to be realistic for someone like myself. Might just look into that.

    I was unaware of this challenge until just this morning, looking forward to June's challenge.

    Hit my goal of 550 for the month. Pretty proud of myself as I did not feel like getting in the saddle yesterday at all. I knew if I didn't I probably wouldn't make it though. Nothing like cutting it close. Now I'm off to watch the Pro-Am Classic in Downtown OKC.

    I spin every week.
    This week with school out, I will be in the cycle room
    5 times.

    It was a love -hate when I started.
    Now I love it.

    A side benefit to spinning is being a better harmonica player.
    I can wail and hold out notes longer.

    I ended up with75.5 miles! I don't think I've ridden that much in the 12 years since I bought my bike. Sad, right?! I wouldn't have ridden 10 miles if it wasn't for the May Cycling Challenge and the MFP team I joined for the National Bike Challenge.
