My cycling goal for the year of 2009 is to ride my bike 2000 miles. That is a little less than 40 miles a week. During the spring and summer I ride double+ that so I will pick up any slack from cold months. I am resetting my Trek computer today and hopefully by December's end I will have met my goal. Wish me luck!

I just logged in and I'm so happy that this is the first post I saw! I just signed up for a pentathalon today and I'm the cycling leg. Any good web sites you know of that i can check out for training?
Thanks!
P.S.
Last year I rode 1500 miles and it was my first year. You'll be able to do 2000 if you set your mind to it!0 -

There is alot of information out there. I do other exercising besided cycling so alot of stuff is geared just for the cyclist. I have found that the best thing for me is time on my bike. I also have found that facing the tough hills even when I don't want to makes me a better rider. I find that riding with other people, while not my favorite thing to do, challenges me to ride harder. I do enjoy riding with my hubby and even that challenges me b/c he is faster than I am.
I have not spent much time on my bike the last two months due to holidays and weather, but no more excuses!
Here is a website that I found that has alot of good info.

Good luck Bamboo!! My bike has been hibernating since October. With that new Trek you will be able to accomplish your Goal.
Happy New year.0 -

Mine has been hibernating since Nov and I thought this might make me wake it up! Plus I got new shoes and clips for Christmas soooooo...it is time to start pedalling!0 -
My cycling goal is to double last years kms, and to reduce by half the number of hills I walked up in the bike tour.
So: 500kms (I'm not sure how many miles!)
and to walk up only 2 hills each way!0 -
Well I knocked 17 miles off the 2000 today! It is a start!0
