Anyone interested in a bike challenge for August?!

I'm currently in physical therapy and it's been really hard for me to work out. I have been approved to bike and not much else. For the month of July I ran a contest and it's coming to an end! It would be great to have the same support moving forward!!

This upcoming month there will be the same requirements:
*Bike 50+ miles (Challenge yourself..maybe your goal should be twice that or even three times that...or more!)
*This can be done indoors or outdoors
*You MUST post weekly updates at the very least (on the MFP group discussion board and/or IG)

There will be a prize at the end for a random winner BUT you MUST bike at least 50 miles and check in EVERY week to be eligible.

I'm running this challenge on here as well as my Instagram @caitastic24 and you can search the hash tag #BikeAugust.

I am just looking for dedicated and active participants. It's my hope to run a contest every month if I get enough members.

I will be sending out group invites on August 1st! Who's interested? :-)

I'm in! Going to set mine at 100 miles this month, too many other things going on to commit to more.

Sounds like fun. I just dusted off my bike last week and am trying to lose weight. Let's do it!

Me! I only have a stationary bike though. I usually ride it about an hour on Sundays so maybe 100 miles?

Hi! I'd like to join! I just started cycling (literally today). Does it count if it's on a stationary bike?
I'm driven by competition, so this would be perfect for me
Also I think I'll put my minimum aim as 50, but my max.goal is 70 (noob hopes).
Do you need to take pictures of mileage?

I'm in for 100 miles. Maybe even 150. That would be a stretch for me (especially because the second half of August will be really busy for me).

I am new here. I do not quite understand the challenge. Is it 50 miles per day? week? or month?
I took up road biking last year and on a good day I go over 50 miles a day, but not in August. It is simply too hot where I live.

caitastic24

50 miles per month, minimum. My goal will be at least 150 this time around :-)
