Hi, I'm relatively new to the biking world (most of my biking was done during my childhood), but I enjoy taking short trail rides around my house & am just starting to get into spinning. This group sounds like tons of fun and hopefully will keep me on track/motivated to stick with it. I'm going to be optimistic and set myself a goal of trying to get 100 miles pedaled this month!! Here are my numbers so far this month;

9/5 - 18.3 miles = spinning class
9/7 - 5.8 bike ride

TOTAL: 24.1, 75.90 to go

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

Hi- I have been cycling as my main form of exercise due to plantar fasciitis putting a nix on the running thing. Would love to be part of this group. Is there an app to track miles for biking?

Thanks! Not sure what to set my goals for here as I have been just going for time til this point.

For my first month I just set a target and then kept on upping it once I'd reached it :laugh:

Went out to ride after 8pm last night to try and get a few miles before a big week long storm hits. I almost made it home in time. We need the rain, but I'm going to miss my bike.

Hey all, would love to join the community! Got into cycling in July as an adjunct to my running - I needed something cardio to do on days I don't run. I've actually enjoyed the rides more than the running! I do a few half-marathons a year and am now aiming for triathlons next year. Have my first century ride coming up on Oct 5, very much looking forward to that. I try to do most of my rides with climbs - I really like the climbing and try to aim for routes with 2,000ft or more. My goal is to do 100+ miles/week. I've been on the under of my goals the last week and half - my riding buddy is out of the country for vacation so I've got to turn it up a bit!

9/4 - 55mi, 3,500ft elevation gain
9/6 - 38mi, 1,675ft elevation gain
9/10 - 42mi, 1,800ft elevation gain

I'm on Strava and RideWithGPS if anyone wants to hook up!
