March 2016 Target - 160 miles0 -
Bought an exercise bike recently and would love to join! Going to go as long as I can but I'm aiming to do at least 30 minutes a day.0

Hi There! This thread is perfect as I am planning to do a bike challenge in Feb 2017 and have all ready begun my training. I had three surgeries in one on Jan 26th and the Dr released me to bike ride again on Feb 19th. Well it is really riding an adult trike as I am physically limited in my balance and ability to walk. I once weighed 208 pounds heavier than I am now and still have another 134 to get to my goal. Since Feb 19, I went out each day except yesterday. I went a little bit farther each day and went 12.48 miles in 2 hours and 23 minutes. However that was for Feb. So starting this new month hopefully I will be able to double my distance.0

It's going to be a short month for me as I'm off to the uk on the 14th of this month. First trip back since I left in November 2009. I'll try for 300 km before I go.
1st Mar: 31.63 km0 -
I live in the Midwest, so while I've been waiting to start pedaling again outside, I've been hitting the bike at the gym. Going everyday to get ready for the bike trails. Was almost able to get out this past weekend as we got up to 55 but we ride along the river so I wasn't ready for the cold wind (not a hard core biker!). Wimp, I know. But really looking forward to getting outside. Toward the end of the season last year we bought new bikes and didn't get much time to play with before winter hit. Been a bike rider for about 2 1/2 yrs.0

First cycle tonight cannot wait!! Business meal tomorrow and away for the weekend on Friday morning so need to make tonight a good one! (If legs will allow after lastnights!)0 -
I am going to try for 250 km for March. I do have a 10 day holiday in the middle of this month but I will try my best to get those km done! Happy cycling everyone!0

Going to keep my goal from February as I didn't reach it.
March goal - 400km
01/03 - 25km turbo.0 -
Not sure what my goal will be other than to get out and bike! I am doing the exercise bike at work (between 5 & 10 minutes a day so that I don't smell up the office) and I just bought a bike to go riding with my husband. . . will keep you posted! Happy cycling!0

I am trying to get ready for outdoor riding. I am tying to ride on the trainer about four days a week.0
-
I am going to incorporate outdoor cycling into my new exercise routine. I won't set a target this month but will get out whenever I can.0

Fell off the wagon, and according to my odometer, I only got in a bit over 300 miles in February as I just stuck with 2 weekly group rides + a Sunday long ride with a friend. As a result, I'm returning to the challenge, as I'm getting closer to my next race (Ironman Florida 70.3) and need to step up my distance. Planning a trip across the keys and back mid-month which should help.
3/1 - 50 miles (30 w. group, 20 evening spin)
Total: 50 miles
Goal: 600 miles
Remaining: 550 miles0 -

Given that my weather should be getting better in March, I'll go for 300 this month. Although March can be very windy here.

Got to ride to my first ballgame (of about 90) of the year! Life is good again.
Still, bike envy ended up taking hold as my Friday AM group ride is mostly $5K-$10K cervelos, so I opted to tap into the budget, and spent another $280 for new dura ace front/rear derailleurs along with an ultegra cassette/chain to upgrade my tri bike (as my shifters are DA already). Just need to figure out what to do with my gently used 9 speed braze on 105 front & rear derailleur, tiagra cassette, and iffy suntour chain once I install the upgrade.
