    Not so sunny, but at least it wasn't cold. Just damp....Still managed 14.5 according to bike computer. Endmondo is a bit off, not sure why, but i've been noticing for the first mile when I hit it, and according to them it's different everyday and I ride a pretty specific path at least to the park. My ride was a little crazy today, path was closed in a couple places and I couldn't use the bike trail at all, ground was very mushy.

    Other than dropping about a mile in the distance I rode the stats between the two aren't too far off. Bike computer gave me an average of 11.3 and endmondo 10.91...so still puts me into that leisure cycle category.

    So my initial goal for October was 170 then I changed it to 200, and last week I decided to try for 300. I hit my 200 goal.

    214.4 as of today. I rode 31.2 miles mxs 17.9 mph/ avs 10.9 mph. Was able to get back on the trails a decent amount.

    Here comes 300:D

    Own a wickedly cool road bike, and it for the last month or so it has been hanging on my wall. Well starting this monday hope to join the group that does a slow paced ride 20 mi or so but, as I was doing 40 plus this is a good start over for me

    Rode 21.6 miles both on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

    I exceeded my goal of 300 for the month so I may have to up that.

    Awesome Roger! I admire that you bike to work. And congrats on hitting your goal of 300!

    As for me not sure I'll make my personal challenge to hit 300 since I was only able to add 8 miles today. I wanted to ride longer but things kept getting in my way/: So I'm sitting at almost 223. I'll have to check my bike computer tomorrow for an exact accounting.

    I got another 10 miles in today. 233. I'm hoping the nice weather holds out so I can get a few more rides in.

    Hi, I feel like I've missed out not seeing this message board before. I love cycling, watching or doing. I did 13 mile training ride today as I'm doing an 85 mile ride London - New Forest in April. 6 Months today!

    I'm out on my bike every weekend and it's really helping with my weight loss. :-)

    Keep up the cycling guys! :-)

    244.5 miles. Added 11.5 today, It was a little bit colder than I'd like but the thermals and gloves really helped.

    As of yesterday:

    499.47 for the month - .53 left to meet my personal goal.

    Next month, I my try for 600. That will mean 20 miles a day and some days I have a hard time doing it.

    DH and I ride recumbent trikes due to a health problem that has left him with a poor sense of balance. The rainy season is coming on, and I'd like to get a trainer that will allow us to ride inside. Does anyone have recommendations?
