    I'm in but only for 50 right now. I may adjust that up as the month goes on as I'm not sure what the changing weather is going to bring.
  • I'm totally in on this. I typically ride at least 100 miles a month, so I'm going to push myself this time and jump in at 150 miles. Ready to tackle this challenge!!

    cowbellsandcoffee 700 wow - go for it. Hope it works out for you

    My goal is 250 this time. I went for 150 and because I've got fitter being with the group I know I can do more as long as the British weather holds (it was wet today, just not looking forward to the wet and wind which will be here soon.

    Started with 14.6 miles today

    For the last 2 months I have come up slightly short of my goal. So this month I am going to still try to push it a bit but going to be a little conservative.. The weather in Iowa in October can be either pretty good or not so good. But I am not going to make that a excuse. My goal for October is 225. Good luck to everyone and keep the rubber side down!

    In the same boat as Sansey--never know what Iowa weather will be like this time of year. I did sign up for a challenge on Strava this month so a bit of extra motivation. I will shoot for 300 miles.

    OK - this should keep me rolling as Autumn and the dark draws in....

    Let's go for 100 miles, conservative for now!

    Hey, I'm a bit late joining, but I'm in for 250 miles this month. Going to be a challenge, have a week long cruise in there and it's getting dark to early these days to ride at night, so hopefully I can fit it in.

    I'll be doing less miles this month but should be able to muster up 600 miles or so.

    I will set my goal very low for those who know me. My goal is 50 miles. I'm not riding in to work now and this month is absolutely insane with work travel and Cub Scout stuff. I'll be lucky if I have 50 miles on a bicycle,. a trainer or spin.
