    So I'm the new guy to cycling I picked up a Gaint hybrid this year and have so far put on 228 miles in the last 4 months.
    Apr 32 miles
    May 36
    June 106
    July so far 54

    Longest ride was 28 miles. Aver I bike 18 miles on a sat ride. Latly I have been biking to work which is only 4 miles each way. Think of trying to bike 80 miles in one day wonder if I can do it.

    July 1 - 5.34 miles (road)
    July 3 - 4.79 miles (road)
    July 6 - 12 miles (off-road)
    July 8 - 5.52 miles (road)
    July 9 - 5.52 miles (road)
    July 10 - 5.52 miles (road)
    July 11 - 3.85 miles (stationary recumbent)
    July 12 - 5.76 miles (road)

    MTD: 48.3 miles

    I haven't set a goal yet as prior to this month I hadn't cycled more than once maybe twice a week so wasn't sure what to set. I'd love to say that my goal is 100 miles, but in reality I don't expect to cycle as much the rest of the month as I have this week so I think that might be a little optimistic, sooooo I'm gonna go with 90 miles :-)

    Remaining: 41.7 miles

    Back to back riding days.
    7/10 - 22 mile ride to the lakefront with a cycling group from my health club. Oddly, I was the strongest and fastest rider in the group.
    7/11 - Fast solo ride of 17 miles in just over an hour. Fastest ride of the year.

    Off today because I plan on riding the Bay View Cycling Club Lake Country Classic tomorrow. Not sure if I am up for 65 miles. Might try the 45 mile route. Depending on the heat, should complete it in 3 1/2 hours, 4 hours if it is really hot and/or hilly.

    Got my first 90 minute ride in; from this point since I've reached my time goal, my weekly long ride will be an increase in miles/speed, not minutes. Really hoping to hit the greenway this weekend after my hubby fixes my tube!

    July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors
    July Miles to Date: 72.75 miles indoors

    July 12---- 19.75 mi stationary (90 min)
    July 10----10.5 mi stationary (45 min)
    July 8---7 mi stationary (30 min)
    July 5---18.5 mi stationary (85 min)
    July 3----10 mi stationary (45 min)
    July 1----6.5 mi stationary (30 min)

    I rode 33.1 miles this morning. It was my longest ride ever. I would really like to make at least one 40 mile ride before I pack my bike away for the winter. (Did I really just mention Winter? It's about 100 degrees outside).

One of the dogs on my old bike route was killed today because it bit somebody (I had to change routes because two dogs kept trying to bite me). We have leash laws, but people don't seem to care.

    New to this thread but generally cycling between 50 - 70 miles a month.......that's the plan anyway.

    Average ride is about 10 - 11 miles which takes around 55 minutes.

    All my weight loss is down to cycling. I now cover 600 miles a month. Cycling is now part of my life. Is that sad :smile:

    Completed the shorter loop. I was prepared to do the longer one, but my wife and child didn't want to go that far. But, we took a wrong turn and wound up doing an extra 8 miles, so 33 miles total today.

    Did another 20+ miles yesterday. (Didn't track it but it was my usual 20-mile course plus a couple of side trips for some errands.) I included 10 minutes on the stationary bike each day last week, but that's not a lot. So, road miles are now over 100 because I took Wednesday off and did another long ride.
