August Cycling Challenge
Replies

I haven't been on this site for over one year. My wife and I had our first child and she is now old enough that I have been cycling with her in a pull behind trailer.
We did 20 miles yesterday in roughly 2 hours. We've been riding 2-3 times a week, roughly 15-20 miles each ride. I've gained 16lbs over the last year, time to burn it off.0 -
1.25 miles last night. I didn't set any goals, just here for the fun of it.0

I got my new bike today. It is a Raleigh something. (That sounds really bad, doesn't it? I don't even know the model) It was a floor model at the bike store and the price was marked down. I rode it around the block a few times, but didn't have time for anything farther. It feels great so far.0

Sometimes I ride with the 2 Rivers on 2 Wheels club out of Logansport. Ride Saturday mornings. I have done 2 organized rides this year so far and plan to do one in September and one in October.
Pulling your daughter gives you a better workout/burn.
