    I live in New England ... NH to be specific. Its that time of year where the days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder, so my "outdoor" rides are getting less and less now or are left only to the weekends. Soon all of my cycling will be done via morning spin class. I'll be working some extra time to get 200 miles in this month ...

    *BTW - Mt. Washington received approx an inch of snow this morning :-)

    NOOOO! You said the S word! I'm in upstate NY and the cool short days are closing in fast. I'm still getting out on weekends when I can and trying to transition to indoor but it's such a bummer. I'll be lucky to get 150 in this month outdoors.

    I got in around 10 miles today, lugging 100 lbs in the kid trailer. The trailer got a flat and I had to have my husband come and pick up the kiddos. Wow, nothing says freedom quite like loosing the bike trailer and riding the last 3 miles ALONE!

    Kudos to you, I tow my 50 lb preschooler and call it hill training! I bet those last 3 miles felt speedy!

    Count me in please! I use a recumbent bike because it's easier on my knees. I average 25 miles a day at a speed of approximately 18mph and ride 5-6 days each week. I also do short sprints up to 25mph for about 10 minutes a day when I'm feeling up to it.

    sadly, we're expecting snow today, so my ~25km per day is going to be cut majorly in the next couple months.

    Will still post them though. =)

    12.2km so far today.

    Once I went without the trailer, I wanted to go all the time without the trailer!

    Ok so was a bit over ambitious with setting 200, yesterday, so set a goal of 100, saw some really cool tickers and created my own, so far 2.5 each day and a bit further at the weekend should hopefully reach a more attainable target of 100, but if I can do more......:smile:
