    Count me in, I need something to keep me cycling to work in this weather and I'm starting my half marathon training, that should add up to enough :-)

    Certainly a worthy goal, especially for January but keep in mind these are hardly equivalent. :wink:

    100 miles of biking is about equivalent to running 25-30 miles. I'd say you have to ride 250-300 miles to be equal to running 100.

    And while 100 miles of walking takes a long time,in terms of effort and calorie burn it doesn't compare to running 100.

    I've averaged ~120 miles running the last 6 months, so I'd like to keep that streak going.

    ONCE JANUARY 1ST COMES you just log on too this thread. You post how many miles you walked or biked daily. IF you can't log on every day then log any days all at once. You can just type in your miles OR you can go too tickerfactory.com and set up daily tickers. I usually do the tickers but sometimes If I'm rushed for time I just type in the days progress...

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE...

    Off to a great start today! Walked five miles! Attempted to jog a bit. Maybe five minutes total!
    I want to get below 250 so I can buy a regular bike. I don't have the money to purchase an expensive bike.

    I need this challenge! Broke a bone in my arm in December and get the cast off next week, I need something to help encourage me to get back to walking daily. In Canada 100 miles = 160.9 kilometers - yikes, better get moving!
