    Thank goodness! Everyone's talking 200-400 miles and I think a 10 mile ride is a pretty good effort.

    10 miles is a good effort and I started this year biking less than that each day. How much you ride is up to you. Just jump right in and ride what you can :)

    7/3 - 1.5 miles at 8.9mph.
    7/5 - 2.6 miles at 9.9mph.
    7/7 - 0.8 miles slowly.
    7/9 - 3.0 miles at 10.2mph listening to Cheap Trick on the Walkman (external speakers - not earbuds).
    7/12 - 3.0 miles at 10.6mph listening to the Go-Gos.
    7/14 - 1.0 miles at 8mph.
    7/16 - 2.8 miles at 10.5mph.
    7/19 - 5.5 miles at 10.0mph listening to The Mavericks. Pretty sad that I'm excited to be on pace to get 30 miles for the month, but it's been a sickly month. And I AM excited to be on pace to get to 30 miles this month.
    7/20 - 2.0 miles at 7.5mph listening to the newest Black Keys album.


    MTD = 22.2 miles.
    Goal = 30 miles.
    Still need = 7.8 miles.

    Thank goodness! Everyone's talking 200-400 miles and I think a 10 mile ride is a pretty good effort.

    We're all different. Five miles is really really good for me because I'm sick. The trick is to realize you're not competing here. You're getting encouragement. I'm not intimidated by the athletes. I just sit back and admire their abilities. My best month last year was 122 miles. And I should never push myself that hard again. I met my weight goal last year so that helps. I need to make sure I stay under 5 miles/ride for my own health reasons. But I sure love seeing all of the posts with big miles and big climbs.

    Just agreeing with these folks. It isn't a competition. It's kinda like lifting "heavy". What's heavy for me may not be heavy for you and vice versa :) You are doing fantastic!
