    Goal for the month is 257 miles (strange number is to get me up to 4000 miles for 2016).

    Did an odd indoor workout today, watched a game of rugby while doing a two hour low intensity ride and then did a 3 min max power test. Maybe a two hour "warmup" was a little excessive!

    34 miles to kick off the month.
    I've been training indoors so far this month but today got out for my first outdoor ride for a month.
    Felt really alien to be cycling outdoors again! Wind noise - constant gear changing - steering! What's that all about? :smile:

    Lovely leisurely 46 mile ride but did include my nearest big climb and the view was spectacular - ten minute uphill grind - https://www.strava.com/segments/628859

    http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/39/72/4397210_8127b5ce.jpg


    Unusually hands didn't suffer from the cold too much but feet were frozen. It's surprisingly difficult to walk properly when you can't feel your feet.....

    120 miles so far this month, 46 outdoors and 74 indoors mostly on WattbikePro. Been playing with the Wattbike hub phone app, interesting and the fitness tests are challenging.

    137 miles left to hit my goal for the year.
    eSpinning bike for hill intervals - 20 miles.
    TT on WattbikePro - 23 miles.
    Managed another outdoor ride in cold and foggy conditions - 36 miles.
    Cardio warmup / warmdown cycling to the gym and back - 6 miles.

    85 miles for the week, 205 miles for the month.
    Just 52 miles to go to each my year goal now.

    The TT was to hit a personal power output goal I've been chasing for over a year, it's taken that long to improve 2.5%. Oh the joys of being an old fart. :)

    Sun 18 - 32.26 miles

    MTD 182.49 / 200, YTD 2745.02 / 2500

    Very cold, but... first 30+ miler, first 50+ K, first 1000+ feet ascended, first 2h30+ ride, and in shouting distance of both the 200 mile target for the month, and 2750 for the year. Very happy with all that!

    Just recently connected to this app via garmin connect after purchasing my own early Xmas present a garmin edge. My interests are both mtb and road cycling, I'm Looking forward to take part with your challenge, just to make sure I'm clear, is the 200 mile a weekly or monthly total and can I include mileage done on turbo trainer.

    @jhowells42
    The rules, goals and challenge are for you to set personally, there's cyclists at all levels of experience and capabilities here.

    My goals vary from events to monthly distance to indoor fitness challenges.
    I include my indoor winter training virtual miles as I would get too depressed at how infrequently I get outdoors otherwise. :(

    DRATS! I think I came in a little late to this one. Are there going to be plans to continue this in January? I'm going to be starting back at the gym then (definitely not a cycling outdoor in the winter person), and would like to participate. Does anyone use the MapMyRide app to track their history?

    I recently got back into cycling and love it, if I am stuck indoors out comes the stationary, if I have a spare hour the mountain bike comes out of the shed and I am off ! Roads, cross country anywhere I can manage I goto on it. Got to say I love the bike and My knees prefer it to running.

    Hi I use the MapMyRide app all the time, it really helps keeping an eye on where I am going and also with planning routes so I can slip in some elevation for that mid ride challenge.

    @neafus55 Yep, the challenge gets run every month - there will be a new thread popping up around Dec 31/Jan 1 or 2, depending who of the regulars gets on MFP around then

    Brilliant, I will look to join that one then and see when I can hit target. 200 Miles is certainly a good one, I will start at that and see how it goes.

    83 hours, 1063 miles but that includes running. It should be in the region of 120 hours 1600 miles by the month end.

    Annual 15,000 miles cycling by the year and around 1350 miles running.
