edited September 29 in Fitness and Exercise
So on my ride to work this morning, I was thinking that maybe I'd challenge myself to bike more then 150 miles this month. At first, it sounds crazy, but I actually think it's easily obtainable. If it proves to be too easy, I'll up the challenge next month.

Anyone want to join me on this one?

    It's doable, totally. I'm in. A friend of mine rode half of that miles in just one day. :-)

    I'm in, but I will get over that alone on July 28-30...as I am doing the last 3 days of RAGBRAI :) But I will try to log 150 before RAGBRAI.

    Hey Jon that's a great challenge. I have been challenging myself monthly for the last three months. Since we have had very little rain I have been able to get out consistently throughout the last three months. I would love to join you in this challenge.

    What if I can't ride a bike (yeah, I can't swim either) Can I count my spin class miles?!

    I'll join ya!!

    I've got about 4 miles already this morning. I'll have to check my cyclometer here in a bit. I dropped the car at the shop so it wasn't my usual 7 commute.

    Sounds like fun!

    I'll join you! I get a lot of miles during the summer months, but I have not tracked total miles. It will be interesting to see how much biking I actually do. I know I biked about 70 miles last week, but that was June. I'll check my odometer today and start fresh for July!

    I just got on maps.google.com - you can plot out your path and then it'll tell you how far it is on a bike.

    I don't see why not. As long as you're being challenged!

    Today's total = 14.5 miles

    We're leaving town in the morning so I won't ride again until Wednesday. I didn't want you to think I quit!

    For an added incentive, go to www.mapmyride.com and log your ride each day of the Tour de France to enter to win cycling gear/travel. Fitness AND free stuff! Woohoo!

    33 Miles today, but my goal for the month is 450. I had the 150 goal in May, and biked 153 then. Keep up the good work. I'm still 175 pounds over weight, and you can work up to it...It just takes a lot of riding.
