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 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!!!

    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.

    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 6.8km

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    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:
