    Shame I'm on a 'rest' month, I did 1172KM last month. Aiming for about 660 this month if the weather holds :)

    I have had knee pain for many, many years. I hate jogging so I decided I would start using a bike again.

    I wish I could bike more but I do need to rest the knees. Some days my knees are better than others. My goal is to ride at least twice a week, which I have been doing for the past three or four weeks.

    9/4 - ~8.5 Miles

    Please count me in on this challenge

    I recently completed a cycle ride from London to Paris with my wife and I lost in the region of 6llbs in 4- 5 days, this sounds a long way to ride BUT my wife had never cycled that distance before and it was a great journey being able to cycle through the French countryside and then into Versaille http://en.chateauversailles.fr/homepage and then through the forests that surround Paris. Seeing the Eiffel tower for the first time while we were about 10 miles way from the centre of Paris was such a wonderful moment

    My advice to anyone beginning cycling is just start small, ride to the end of your street, road and back again and progress from there

    if anyone would like to friend me please feel free

    1st Sept 32 Mile
    2 Sept 16 miles/went out in the late afternoon and evening as well added 46
    3 Sept 16 miles commuting
    4 Sept 12 miles commuting

    total 122

    I ended August with 267.6 miles - a bit lower than my goal of 400 miles.

    Goal for September and October - 250 miles each month or a total of 500 miles for both months. Difficult now that I'm losing daylight and I don't like to ride after work in the dark. So most long rides will be limited to weekends. Also considering buying a trainer for the winter months...any suggestions from anyone?

    So far this month:
    9/3 - 27.28 miles
    And planning 50 miles tomorrow morning

    Plus it's getting chilly. I don't like it.

    Just finished the ride from hell, I saw a appeal on facebook late last night asking for male donors with my blood group to go to Great Ormond Street Hospital to have a blood test to help out a sick little girl so I thought I would ride down there to give it a shot, took me just under 2 hours to do the 25 miles there and over 4 hours to get home because a bus pushed me into a big pothole in London damaging my back wheel, I had to fix 4 punctures and eventually had to change the inner tube(lucky I carry a spare) as a snapped spoke kept ripping the inner tube and I had no back brake as my wheel was so badly buckled, home now and exhausted but I have to strip down my bike to replace the broken spoke and straighten my wheel.
