    kayemme: I'm not the guy that set this up but I would say, log the miles you do in addition to your commute. The idea behind the challenge is to get people out and riding. So this would be encouraging you to do more than just your commute.

    well, to be fair, after 60 miles, i probably only ride about 10 more per week and then i'm spent. maybe i shouldn't join, but i keep fair tracking on my own. i ride for pleasure often, usually about 25-30 mile round trip along the coast, but since my work commute has been so high lately, i haven't had it in me to get out for pleasure. (my ride is very urban and so it's a lot of dodging, unlike when i ride for pleasure and it's on a clear bike path)

    I have a knee injury so had to take the week off. I hope to be back at it soon though.

  • Sorry to hear about your knee injury. Make sure your bike fits right before you get back on the bike. You want to make sure the bike isn't causing it.

    I got a late start in riding tonight, but still managed to get 11 miles in.

    Thank you for the concern. Running caused it not cycling. I am hoping cycling more will prevent it from getting worse.

  • Hi eaglemonster,
    You can set up a goal on sportypal to track your progress to see how much you're behind or ahead, with your daily rides.
    It's very useful...

    Already done.
    i use them for personal weekly/yearly targets also ... love my sportypal! I had tried to post the link to my plans but it would appear that only befriended sportypal members can view them.
    Absolutly tipping it down here, and the forecast is for more of the same, doubting that i will get out today, dont mind the cold, dont mind the wet, but i really dislike cold and wet!
  • eaglemoster: I can follow your link to see your rides. I think it pretty fun to see where someone else is riding. Its more fun because, I never been to the UK.

    it was an unseasonably beautiful day today. i rode to work and back, about 16 miles. i can estimate my mileage from the 18th to now.

    monday 18th - 15
    tuesday 19th - 16
    wednesday 20th- 18
    thursday 21 - 16
    (i wanted to get out for a ride over the weekend, but i was bogged down with freelance work and couldn't leave the house much; then also my bike got a flat on tuesday, so i had my bf come to my work to fix it, but then he thought to change the other tire (for to be sure) and then he popped that tube which we didn't replace til sunday)

    monday 24 - 20
    tuesday 25 - 16

    86m so far and hoping to go on a pleasure ride this weekend (down the coast while the leaves are in full color)
  • Hi All,
    Great progress. I done 12 miles last week and 16 this week. a bit behind but will try and ramp it up over the next few days
