April - Cycling Challenge

Hello Group,
Very sunny day here in Oslo and I am not making you April fool, it is sunny in Oslo:happy:
With the spring coming I think cycling would be great idea (especially for those who have knees issues). We have just finished March cycling challenge and I think 2-3 of us have achieved and went over the target. It would be great if more people can join the challenge. You can set up your own target of miles/Kms for the month and try to achieve that throughout the month.
It can be any form of cycling outdoor or stationary bike etc. We can update the stats weekly and that will help us motivated through out the month to do more and push ourselves harder.
Please reply in this thread with your monthly targets and post your distances done throughout the week. Good luck!

My personal target for April is 200 Km (125 miles). Yes I am going to do it:mad:0
-
Wow you are super keen. Good for you!! I am going to go for 60 km, see where I go from there. Thanks for keeping this challenge going!!!0

My goal for April is 320 km (200 miles)! I blew out March's goal of 160 km by over 80 km. If I can add in 1 extra bike ride a week for an hour I can make this. Should be doable. Wife and kids all have their bikes tuned up and ready to go. Going to drag them along with me kicking and screaming, at least part of the way...
14 day forecast shows for mostly sunny skies (couple rainy days), but the weather is warming up and that is a huge incentive to get out!
Good luck everyone!!!0 -
I FINALLY was able to ride outside over the weekend. My goal is to log 100 miles in April and here to hoping that most of them are outside!!!0
-
So I have done my today's bike ride. I did 29km in exactly 2 hours. Good start for the month:)
Average speed was 14.4 and highest was 43.5 km. I just put the bike computer on and it gives interesting information.0 -
I'll join this month
I need to consider my goal though. I'll get back about that!0 -
I will eventually join this challenge. Still in the 30's here in Ohio. BRRRRR!!! Too cold for a bike ride for me! I really want to move south! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!0
-
4.25 m = 6.8 km. If I took my whole family does that mean I got extra points? So 5 people x 6.8...
April Total 6.8km0 -
I'm gonna try a baby goal of 90 miles. I know I should push myself more, but I'd like to pick a goal that's achievable 0
-
For the first month this is a good target that you have chosen. I had set up 60Km target for me last month but I did almost 98 Kms. Go for it!I'm gonna try a baby goal of 90 miles. I know I should push myself more, but I'd like to pick a goal that's achievable0 -
is it too late to join? I'd like to shoot for 50 miles.0
-
Never too late! April has just started and you can set up your challenge accordingly.0
-
great, thanks! in that case I'm down 6 miles, 44 to go!0

21 Km of bike ride done today. This distance was done in 78 minutes. Average speed of 16.3 Km and highest speed was 43.5 Km.
Total distance for April 50 Kms!0 -
Total km traveled in week 1 of April: 27.6!
Goal: 320 km
Actual: 27.6
Remaining: 292.4
Umer, you're kicking my trash so far. If I can get 3 rides in each week I should still meet my goal and I can throw in a 4th ride with my family for fun.0 -
Hi,
got in another 6 mile ride yesterday; 38 left to go0 -
Just found this thread and after I had done 29 minutes at 30km/hr. so did I do 14.5 km? If so I did 40 minutes yesterday so that would make 20 km... So I would have done 34.5 km so far. Tomorrow, I'll start adding up to it. I want to do 125 km this month. I hope it's feasible for a first time....
Happy cycling everyone!:happy:0 -
34.5 + 14.5 = 49 km0
-
You have picked up speed already. Well done!34.5 + 14.5 = 49 km0 -
Another 21.54km's today! Fast ride too... did that in an hour! Fastest pace yet. Knew I only had time for a short ride, so I pushed hard. 0
-
49 + 7.5= 56.5 km0
-
thank you and really pushed it tonight, too. 0
-
Did another 15 km later last night; it's in my exercise log and just noticed that I hadn't added it on this post so I have 71.5 km in0

I'm doing the Insanity videos so my goal is to simply start riding my bike to college and work etc. I am working on getting my bike fixed today to do so. Hope I can keep this goal! i'm thinking to ride my bike instead of drive for 3 days a week0

Great idea! I might try doing that but coming to the work is downhill mostly and going back uphill after being tired would be really difficult. This is why I have not done that. I might give it a try some day.
What is your target distance for the month?0 -
I just wanted to say thank you again to Umer76 for checking up on me.
10 km done.
Gotta stay focused to reach my goal!0 -
71.5 + 13 = 84.5: I may just reach my goal yet wink:0
-
did an extra 14km. + 84.5 = 98.50
-
I think you underestimated yourself:) looks like you will get your target in the next 2-3 days. May be add another 125 Km on top of your april target. Thats how we should cycle:)did an extra 14km. + 84.5 = 98.50 -
Another 7 km.
So 17km total.
I really do think an upright bike would of been easier... maybe I will coordinate to go biking outside with some friends.0
