Hi, CJ in Wheaton. I'm in Chicago and have as one of my summer goals trying out more of the suburban paths. So far I've mainly done the North Shore Channel Trail, the North Branch Trail, and the Green Bay Trail, but the Prairie Path is high on my list of what to do next.0

CJ, you might want to try a padded gel cover for the inside bike. You've got nice trails in your area. You are lucky [of course your winters are major].

I've not joined in with this challenge before, but use cyclemetre for my daily commute and other rides. Last month I rode a total of 180.64 miles, so I'm going to aim for 200 miles this month.
Great to see so many cyclists here. Feel free to add me as a friend0 -
Not sure I will beat out my 467 miles from last month but I will damn sure try.

***August Goals = race well in mountain bike races on my calendar for the 3rd, 17th, 24th, and the big "50 miler" on the 31st. That's a lot of mountain bike racing for one month meaning I will have to taper and recover as best as possible this month to pull it off.0 -
Took a fall on some gravel Sunday morning Gonna be off the bike a few days.

I just saw this on the boards and would like to join. I started biking this spring to get ready for a tri and have been enjoying it enough to stick with it as cross training. I've been sick and injured and not able to do much the last couple weeks. Of course we've had perfect running and biking weather too. I'm looking forward to getting out again, likely tomorrow.0

Join in! I work 2 jobs so I commute to work every single day so I can get my riding in without losing time or exercise. 18-19 miles a day every day! Mother Nature has been gracious enough to have given my area some excellent riding conditions over the past few months. I hope the trend continues.0 -

2nd August: 69.9 miles
3rd August: 7.12 miles
