    I'm up to 49.5 miles for the month/year. Not quite on track but I knew I'd start out behind because I'm a winter weather wimp :yawn:

    I'll join in April depending on the snow and temp. Last year had bike injuries
    So my miles were few. My Mom (age 76) and son (15) biked from the Iowa border
    Of MN to the twin cities. one day was 76 miles! I want to keep up with gramma.
    Please all wear your helmets my husband was hit by a car two years ago it saved him.

    I'm in for sure. Have my road bike on a trainer and just did 60 km yesterday. I think I am at about 100 km so far. Can't bike outside until about may in northern Canada.

    I haven't set my cycling goal yet for 2012, but I'm thinking close to 3000. In 2010 my goal was 2000, which I made, till I bumped it up to 2500. Which I hit just under that. Last year we had a bad spring so I bearly make 2000. Heck I think I was just under 2000.

    Best of luck to you!!!
    RIDE ON :)

    I'm in!!! Although I would have to set a higher goal since I usually do 17 miles every day, but this week I have not worked out due to the flu. I hope to start again tomorrow. I miss it!

    I want in! Have 64 miles so far for 2012. Struggle in Winter getting bored on stationary. Switched to rollers this weekend because they take alot more focus. ( this I learnt the hard way! Friends got a laugh of me hobbling around from recking on my indoor bike lol)

    Go for it - I was still recovering from a knee operation at the start of 2011 (4 1/2 months off bike) & managed to get some serious miles in - all 10700 miles of them.

    YTD for 2012 - 1350 miles

    Almost to 100 biking miles. The further into this I get, the more I get done every month. Besides, it's getting warmer, so going out sucks less.

    You can do it. A regular routine will put you beyond 1000 miles. I believe it will be good for your healing leg too.

    What a great idea :)

    I started cycling in about October last year and am addicted.

    Will have to estimate my distance so far for 2012, will put it at 600kms (conservative)
    600 kilometers = 372 miles

    Going to make my goal 5000 km's
    5000 kilometers = 3106 miles

    It is still Summer here in Aussie, not sure how much riding will be achieved in Winter but I will swap to the indoor bike if needed.

    105 miles/ 1000 so far

    Had a good ride outside today reguardless of the cold 37* F. Cold wasn't that bad but the wind was stronger than I expected. Overall felt good to be out 14.5 miles.

    Never had this many miles before in winter in Indiana. Been a very mild so far.

    I'm cycling across the USA this year (mostly virtually). Almost 400 miles into my 3069 mile ride from NYC to San Francisco, via my hometown of Chicago!
