    Kintegra, one more good ride & you have made it!
    Zornig, you're killing all of us. Good job =)

    Nice. I plan to start riding to work now that my daughter is out of school and home for the summer. It's only 1 mile to work so it's not much but I think 2 miles a day x 5 days a week x 4 weeks a month = 40 miles. I dunno the math but I bet that adds to a hella lot of calories spent. Not to mention, I would like to beef up my legs some cuz I am 6' 7" with a 38" inseam. Heh.

    Mix, my straight route to work is 2 miles each way, but in the summer at least I can find other routes around the lanes and such that take it up to about 4.5/5 miles each way :smile: For me, calorie-wise, a 12 minute ride burns 109 calories (I always thought it was more but my FT4 tells me it isn't!) and that's about 3 miles.

    My mileage is going to drop hugely in the winter mind, especially as 99.99% of my routes are unlit, narrow lanes and roads with dodgy road surfacing. Fine when it's light enough to see the potholes but it'll be a b*tch in the dark, even with decent lights on the bike!

    Think my mileage at the mo is around 110 or thereabouts :smile:

    Right on man. I have been doing the same thing. Direct route to work is 1 mile but the neighborhood is full of other routes so I have been taking them to and from work averaging anywhere from 2-4 miles.

    To close out the month, today I actually plotted a 10 mile ride from work to home which is a HUGE circle around my house. This will be my longest ride to date. It's on a few main roads and will be right after work so I am a bit sketched about it but I think I will be ok. Uncharted territory is always fun.

    I didn't get my last bike ride in for the month. :ohwell: Now if I would have made this a running challenge I would have KILLED it! I did another 6.3 miles running last night.

    Oh well it was fun & thanks to everyone for joining in the challenge for June! :flowerforyou:
