I'll join in!
My goal is 500 for June. Most of that will be taken care of with a century this weekend and a bike trip the next week.0 -
A bit terrified as my first ever century is in a week and a half...
Just remember to eat and drink regularly throughout the ride. You don't have to eat lots ... go for about half what you're burning. But keep it up regularly right from the start.
And if this is an organised century, don't get caught up with the rabbits out front. Let them do their thing while you ride it at your pace.

March Cycling: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
April Cycling: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
May Cycling: 259.06 km (160.9 miles) = 14 hours 5 min (including 45 min on trainer)
It is winter. The sun is setting at 4:45 pm, there's snow on the mountain, and it is cold. But happily, this is the month where daylight hours will start increasing again ... just need to make it through June.

I got in a blistering 25 miles at 18.8 per mile. It was my first ride this month. I would like to ride 250 miles but if I get the opportunity to take a few long day rides, I could get in 500 which would be 10 for each year of my age in my birth month.0

6/2 - 12.8 mi regular commute

Oh, I'd like to join! I'm just a casual cyclist on a heavy mountain bike, but I'm trying to increase my mileage as my schedule permits!
I'm in for 60 miles this month.0 -
I remember really loving it, and I want to get back into it. I'm starting out small: I'd like to bike 25 miles in June and figure out how to be less terrified of cars.
Improving one's command of the bike should be the very first place start. Top of that list should be to ride in a straight line. Believe or not, most riders cannot do it consistently or well, and meandering when sharing the lane with the big hitters is a recipe for pain.
Riding in straight line starts at 0:53

50 more slow miles with a neighbor today. Glad to get him out riding for a few hours even though the pace wasn't too challenging. Even though I prefer using my mountain shoes with recessed cleats (to avoid destroying flooring when taking breaks), I may need to stick with my tri/road shoes for longer rides as they have a more rigid base and I'm starting to get some hot spots on the bottom of my foot.

06 Sat - 100 kilometre ride on our Bike Friday Pocket Llamas (folding bikes). The route was relatively flat, but had the added challenge of rain for the first half of the ride. Fortunately it was a warm day for winter, and wasn't at all windy for a change!
That was the longest distance we have ridden the folding bikes so far. It was kind of a test ride to see how we would go over that distance. We were reasonably comfortable. I was having a few back/right hip issues, but stretching seemed to help.
100.72 km in 6 hours 25 min 34 sec total.
(Moving time was 5 hours 31 min 26 sec)

Mountain bikes definitely require more effort! Do you go on trails a lot? I switched to a hybrid and it really makes huge difference . I am by no means a "serious" rider, usually 18 miles a day.0 -
