    Starting my half-ironman taper this week, along with a marathon taper late this month, so cutting back about 30% from last month, and just going for 500 miles.

    4/1 - 28 miles (weekly tri-team hammerfest)

    Total: 28 miles
    Goal: 500 miles
    Remaining: 472 miles

    Still a little unsure how and/or when to post so I'm going to follow the lead of other members :)

    4/1 ~ 16 k (9.94 miles)
    4/2 ~ 16.7k (10.4 miles)

    Weather was beautiful and sad to not to be riding outdoors...

    Hi everyone!

    I'd like to join this challenge too, if I may.
    Since last winter, I live <5km away from work, so taking the bike when it isn't raining should be doable. Apart from the fact that most of the way to work is uphill, and on all three occasions I tried, those hills were absolutely killing me!

    I have to admit I've never enjoyed riding a bike. But a few years ago I hated running, and now I absolutely love it, so I've been thinking maybe biking could be an "acquired taste" too ;)
    In any case, I'll give it a shot - and hopefully joining this challenge will keep me accountable and force me to stick to my good intentions. My goal for April will be 100km, which should be doable with an average of 2.5 trips to work per week. With one ride to work on the 1st, and a short trip to the supermarket yesterday, I've already gotten a started on that.

    April : 14.1km of 100km done

    Review ...
    Distances include cycling + walking
    March: 489.8 km (304.3 miles) = 38 hours 4 min
    April: 491.94 km (305.6 miles) = 43 hours 6 min
    May: 361.81 km (224.8 miles) = 35 hours 50 min
    June: 569.53 km (353.9 miles) = 41 hours 53 min
    July: 230.7 km (143.35 miles) = 32 hours 45 min
    Aug: 211.3 km (131.3 miles) = 28 hours 8 min
    Sep: 306.7 km (190.6 miles) = 35 hour 2 min
    Oct: 441.82 km (274.5 miles) = 47 hours 43 min
    Nov: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
    Dec: 499.91 km (282.8 miles) = 54 hours 56 min
    Jan: 864.79 km (537.35 miles) = 65 hours 36 min
    Feb: 470.53 km (292.4 miles) = 40 hours 39 min
    March: 917.73 km (570.2 miles) = 66 hours 13 min

    April probably won't be as ambitious as March was because I have three major uni assignments due before the middle of the month and won't be as active. But if I could do what I did last April, that would be nice. :)

    I was just directed to this wonderful challenge by @Machka9 (thanks!) and I think I'm going to give this a try.

    Month one's a bit of a crapshot, right? Based on what I biked last month (literally my first month biking), and where I'm at so far, I'm going to try for 180 miles for the month of April.

    So far I've biked:
    4/1 - 9.3 miles
    4/3 - 19.22 miles

    4/1 - 17 miles
    4/2 - 23 miles
    4/3 - 2.5 miles - had intended to do a longer ride with SO, but he had bike issues. Ended up running to the store for milk and took the bike rather than the car to keep up my 30 days of biking.
    4/4 - 24 miles - Brrrrr chilly again, temps in the 20s this morning and my toes were frozen when I got to work. Should have worn boots. Might need to invest in some shoe covers so I can keep wearing my clip in shoes. They do make clip in winter boots but they're hella expensive and don't come in my size :( The bike industry is tough for short peeps, and extra hard if you have smaller feet.

    Month to date: 66.5 miles
    Year to date: 632 miles

    OK I'm in, despite a bit of working abroad this month. I'm a bike returner ( after so many years) amazed I can do it at all. So my distances are short! Gotta start somewhere , yes?
    4/3 - 6.3 miles indoor
    4/4 - 3 miles outdoor

    Today I visited our Bronze age burial mounds in the woods beyond the village 8nwxb4gqthzg.jpg

    Hi all. New to the thread. Former cyclist trying to get myself back into a routine after taking a longish break rehabbing from foot surgery. Just started doing the short commute to work by bike one or two days/week and hoping to get back into group riding on the weekend. My goal for April is 200 miles.
    4/5/16 10.8 miles
