    I'm in! So far I've had a good start to September:

    9/1 - 8
    9/1 - 26*
    9/4 - 11
    9/5 - 25*
    9/6 - 32*

    Total so far 102 miles. The asterisks mark rides on my fixed gear bike. I think I've finally found a good tracking app for my Windows Phone: Sports Tracker. It's not as flaky as MapMyRide, which kind of freaks out in the city and if I go indoors, plotting points at random nowhere near where I am. Sports Tracker just grabs the right points. It also pauses while I'm not moving and only grabs the rolling miles if I want. I like it.

    Here's a pic from tonight's ride, a couple miles north of downtown Fort Worth

  • Count me in! I recently had surgery on my left foot and have finally healed enough that I can get my bike shoe on again. Today I knocked out 10 miles at a rapid clip of about 16mph. It went really well and I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's ride. I'd like to do 100 a week but with my job that's going to be tough. I'm USCG and travel quite a bit. See ya out there!! I use Stava on my iphone. If you'd like to pair up with me search for pedalzombie or message me with your id.

    It feels great to get back on the bike, doesn't it? I missed all of May and some of June with a broken arm. It's only been the last couple of weeks that it's starting to feel 100%, and I've got a lot of miles to make up.

    Personal reasons (read a lady coming over) got in the way of yesterdays ride, but I was back in the saddle today. Sent my comfy bike (Bianchi Volpe) to the shop on Thursday so I had to break out the Mondonico for this week. Not as comfortable, but it's like switching a VW beetle for a Porsche 911. Easily 4 lbs lighter and oh so nimble :) Ride steel!

    3rd - Rest Day
    4th - I hate when work gets in the way!

    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
    6 Sept 16 mile commuting (8 miles each way
    8 Sept 34miles --cycling with my wife through the English Countryside

    total 172

    About 90 miles so far this month. I say "about" because my odometer is behaving badly and I have to adjust the mileage for error based on how it measured a trip of known length.

    That's 3 rides over Labor Day weekend, 20 miles yesterday and 6 today. It's just too darn hot out- over 100 degrees. Yesterday's ride was done with a backpack full of library books, too. The rest of my workout today was at the gym and in the pool.
