    January Total Miles: 29.54
    January Total Duration: 02:05:21

    WTF? After months and years on the Fitness & Exercise forum, we get bumped over to here?

    C'est la vie...


    Maybe next month I can change the title from challenge to something else.
    I set this up under Fitness & Exercise. Surprised to see it got moved over.

    I "lost" this and other challenge threads! Didn't realise this forum existed ... anyway ...


    Friday 1 January -- first ride of the new year! 38.4 km up the cycleway all the way to the end and back. Good, quick ride out with a decent tailwind. Bit of a slog coming back. Good workout.

    Saturday 2 January -- 52.06 km with 613 metres of climbing. Plus wind. Plus ... surprisingly chilly. My feet were quite cold when I got in.

    Sunday 3 January -- 32.8 km!! And that brings 8 days in a row of cycling to an end.

    I was kind of hoping to do a flat route, and the first 20 km wasn't too bad, but then it got hilly. Oh well, I'm starting to get used to that. :grin:

    I think it is fine here. MFP is just trying to keep things organized and created this forum for all challenges which have been moved over here from various other forums. As long as we all know where to find it, we're good. I just wasn't aware until I went searching for it yesterday to post my ride yesterday and couldn't find what happened to it on the Fitness and Exercise forum.

    I think it's OK too ... now that I've found it (thanks SingingSingleTracker). And it is kind of interesting looking at all the challenges and things all in one place.

    This isn't entirely applicable to this particular thread, but it is all about cycling distances ...

    I added it up ...

    Over the Christmas holiday week (Dec 27-Jan3: 8 days), I cycled outside every day. That's the first 8-day stretch I've done since Sep 27-Oct 4, 2012.

    I wanted to do this for a number of reasons including:

    -- I miss cycling regularly. Because we live in such a hilly area, it can be difficult to get up the motivation to ride after work, so we end up riding on weekends and maybe one day during the week. I had the time off and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to ride as much as possible.

    -- I wanted to ride all the possible (plausible) routes from home to a) get comfortable with them, and b) see if I could find a good one or two to do in an evening. I may have found one decent 20 km route, and would still like to explore a few other options on coming weekends.

    -- I wanted to challenge myself.

    One of the following rides was relatively flat, the rest varied between about 400 and 600 metres of climbing per ride.

    21.500
    33.180
    27.200
    26.300
    42.230
    38.400 - flat ride
    52.060 - 613 metres of climbing
    32.800
    Total: 273.670 km

    Today, I am back at work, so I'll rest a bit ... but I'm actually looking forward to riding again soon and keep adding to my January totals. :)
