    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.

    Very cool that you're doing RAGBRAI. Good luck and kick some *kitten*..........

    I got another ride into work this morning. I was late getting started, so I had to push faster today, Made it on time and got to add an additional 7.2 miles to my ticker. By the time I go home tonight, I'll have less then 100 miles to ride to meet our challenge!

    Sounds like you need a hybrid bike. It has the handlebars like a mountain bike and in-between tires. It's what I ride since up to a few months ago, I lived on a gravel road and had to ride 2 miles of gravel to get to the highway. It also works well on the trails near me that is made of crushed limestone.

    that sounds just about right! do you reccomend any brand / type etc? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

    I'm partial to Trek bikes but there are lots of good brands. Any good bike shop will match a style of bike to what you tell them you are using it for. There is a very wide price range. I'd say your best bet is to go to your local bike shop and they will be your best help.

    Thanks. I have a Trek and love it. I think I'll do a bit more research and head down to hte bike shop...! Thanks again.

    Another ride into work this morning means another 7 miles on the ticker. Feeling good this morning after a nice ride - but now I pray that the day is kind to me. Last day of the work week - here we go! My reward? Another 7 miles home.

    Keep those peddles moving!

    Hey guys - totally new here and just found the message boards - which lead me to this challenge while trying to find other cyclists.
    Guess I'll have to jump in on this challenge.

    So far in July:
    86.6 miles on the road
    11.3 miles on the trails

    Hey, all, this looks like fun! I ride my hybrid about 20 miles a day, four to five days a week. I try to do at least one long bike ride a month. Longest one so far for me was 57 miles round trip, so my next challenge is Ft. Lauderdale to West Palm Beach on A1A, about 70 miles round trip. Probably won't get a chance to try it till August, but I did ride to Deerfield Beach last weekend, about 35 miles round trip. Then I ate a big fat burger, mmm.
