I used to bike to work, when I worked closer to home. I now work too far away, and my bike has been sitting in the garage unused for about 2 years. I miss riding terribly!!
I would love to join this in the hopes that it pushes me to find the time to get back out there.
Shooting for 20 miles this month. Just a few miles each week to get me back out there. I will try and increase this in the following months, if all goes well.0 -

My goal was 250 miles and 16 cycling days in July. I made 250 (but not by much) and was a few days short. This month I may not have as many longer rides, so it's even more important that I get my days in. My goal, then, will be 250 miles again and 15 days.
So far:
8/2: 17.84 miles.
To go: 232.16 miles and 14 days.0 -
Hi all, I'm new to the group. Have been on MFP since June 2012, lost 70, then gained back 30, now back at it since my hubby finally wants to do something about his weight. He's lost 14 and I've lost 23 since he/we started. I have only gotten him on the bike a couple times, and he moans and groans about it...sure makes me feel like super-rider when he's along!
I set myself a goal of riding 600 miles this season outdoors. I have a stationary bike in the family room but hate the seat and always end up with a sore butt when I ride it. And it's much more fun and interesting to ride outside. We live near Chicago and, while Illinois is lately famous for terrible financial management and jailing its recent governors, Northern Illinois does have wonderful bike paths. We live close to the Illinois Prairie Path, and it is usually the beginning of my rides.
In early July my 7-year-old grandson finally got going on two wheels, and we have had a wonderful time riding together. He is doing great, has way too much energy, and comes home ready for more when all I want is a cold drink and a shower.
I started using "mapmyride" in the past couple weeks, and it is nice to just turn it on and ride. To continue toward my 600-mile goal for the season, (I hit 300 earlier this week), I set a goal there of 150 miles over the next 4 weeks. Since I'd ridden 6 of the past 7 days, I did not ride yesterday. Today I rode 16.25 miles. Didn't realize how hot it was, and had to stop to rest/hydrate a couple times on the way back, but it was a good ride. I like that MMR and MFP can link with each other and only have to enter info once.
I am a 58-year-old grandmother, work full-time, love music, gardening, photography, my family, kitties and my bike.

it started raining and it looked like there were going to be some thunderstorms so I quit early. I was hoping for more.0 -
Saw this site mentioned on a bike forum. An hour later here I am. I love goals and challenges so thought I'd join this thread to keep me accountable and to cheer others on.
Goal for August is 300 miles (but secretly hoping for closer to 400).
Aug 2: 18.3 miles @ 1:15:450
