Month 3 of the cycling challenge. In the last 2 months we have seen people who are doing 20-30 miles/ride and others who are just starting with 2 or 3 miles/ride. This is a very casual challenge. Anyone can join. Post your miles, minutes, rpms or whatever else you like. (I always feel like I should post based on my bum soreness, I really need a new seat:blushing: ) Just get on those bikes and get out there. (Indoor cyclists are also welcome)

    Sounds fun :) I've been using a bike machine for a while now but I'd love some motivation to do more!

    I did a little over 200 miles in July with my longest ride being 40 miles. I'm going to shoot for 300 miles overall and a single 50 mile ride this month. Just started training for a 100 mile Tour de Cure next April.

    I would love to join in the fun. I cycle for fitness so once I change out my back tire (got a flat trying to ride yesterday) let me know where I log my progress.

    I am training for a double century in September. Granted, I get to do it in 100 mile chunks over 2 days...

    So... My goal for August is 600 miles with an average of 16-18 mph



    Aug 1 - 27 miles
