Just started cycling (using Strava on my Android phone) and found MFP right after that. The fat is melting off, and I couldn't be happier!

I did my biggest ride yet on Sunday. My house in Los Angeles to Malibu and back (50 miles total). It took almost four hours and really drained me, but it was great fun! I couldn't stand stationary cycling (or other exercise machines); it bores me to tears.

Is it possible to create a group for this? Be a little easier to track or find post.

I'm training for a triathalon in April 2013 that will include a 20 mile hilly bike ride.

Lucky for me I live by a bunch of hills and have a sorta crappy bike!:laugh:

How do I pledge? I'd say I'm good for 15 miles a week....but since this is a challenge I'll shoot for 20 miles a week in august!

Anyways tonight I did 4 miles in 27 mins (remember lots of hills....)

Usual way is just declare a total mileage you'd like to hit for the month, and a "long ride" goal - so... for example mine is 300 miles in the month, with at least one "metric century ride (100km - or 62.1 miles)" over the month...
