I would love to join your challenge. I'm a newbie to cycling. I just started to bike as cross training for my running. I injured my knee back in May after a race. I find the cycling to really help with taking the impact off my knee but still helping with my cardio.
Yesterday I did 12 miles in 55 minutes.0 -
Stationary bicyclist here: Today 30 minutes for 185 calories burned0

I'm glad I saw this. I have just started riding and like it so much more than the treadmill! I don't have the skills or stamina yet that many posters to but I'm in for 100 miles. I really think I can do a lot more but I'll make this for my start.0

175 kilometres on the road bike this week so far.

I've had my road bike since May and I love it I average 10-12 miles each time I ride, and average 14-15 mph.
I'm going to commit to riding 200 miles this month.
I'm new to myfitnesspal. Is there somewhere that you log your miles for the challenge?0 -

Welcome. Some use Tickerfactory.com to set up a measuring visual. But most will just report their rides by posting and keeping up with them. I have also used PedalMyBike.com as well.0 -

A very good book to read is Base Building for Cyclists by Thomas Chapple. If you want to burn fat he describes how going slow versus fast all the time actually burns fat more efficiently. Once you begin to push and go fast your rate of carbohydrate burning increases and fat burning decreases. His philosophy is ride slow to go fast. I use a HRM to stay in my fat burning zones. Yes, I like to go fast and he will teach you how to do that as well. Highly recommended.0
