Hey cyclists: It's almost the end of the year. Have you been keeping track of your miles cycled??

How many miles do you think you can cycle in December? Each 100mi = one century.

I am challenging myself to 100 miles total.

Come back each time you cycle and post your numbers. If you have a special experience while cycling, we want to know about it too. At the end of the month PM me; I'll tally the total miles cycled for the month, and let you know how we all did.

    Does this have to be outdoor cycling? Or would by stationary cycling count?

    I'll shoot for 100 miles for December between the spin bike and the training stand. Just not a fan of the indoor riding as much.

    I'm in. I'll be doing some on the trainer (because it's cold here and dark in the am!) and some on the road (because I'm going South for the holidays! WOOHOO! Thanks for setting this up each month, Tigerrick!

    My goal for the month is 450 miles. It's going to be a tough month temperature wise.

    I am going to aim for holding steady at 200 km. I get most of my miles commuting and since I have 2 weeks off in December, I will have to fit some extra rides in.

    My goal is more than last month (which was just under 120, I think).

    Am I the first to get in the saddle this month? I almost talked myself out of it due to waking up way too early with insomnia and worrying about being too tired today. But, I didn't win the argument. Or I did, depending on your view! HA!

    On the bike trainer:
    12/1 - 60 minutes - 13.42 miles
    Total so far: 13.42 miles

    Am I the first to get in the saddle this month?

    Spin class starts at 5:00 AM for me....I so love the 4:30 wake up!

    12/1-45 minutes of spin. I only figure 6 miles. I am sure it is more than that given what my cadence is but I would rather guess low than high.

    I'm going to try and be good and check in more this month!
