Totals for January, specifically related to cycling:

And happily, I reached another goal! I was working toward a "lifetime" (since I've been keeping track) cycling kilometre goal of 160,000 km. In January I reached that goal and by the end of the month I reached 160,246.8 km.
So ... the goal is to do more than February last year.

I'm back, and I'm in it to win it! I'm still indoors, but since I've got the speed sensors, I am listing myself for mileage. Since we've got a shorter month, I'm not going to bump up my goals too much, but they need to go up some. So, for this month, I'm aiming for 325 miles.
Can't wait to start tomorrow!2 -
In for 250 miles, again0

Thanks for posting the challenge again!
After warmer temps and lots of rain yesterday, today the roads where nearly snow-free, and I could take the (trekking) bike to work again. And even if the snow comes back, I've got rollers for riding indoors now, so there shouldn't be anything stopping me from reaching 150km this month.
1.2.17 - 10.1km commute0 -
I’m just starting to come out of a lower back strain that put me in my recliner for >2 weeks so far. I still have only limited mobility and I have no idea what my exercise capabilities will be this month, but I’m going to shoot for an hour per week on the recumbent exercise bike in the health club where I live.2

Hi, I found your cycling challenge a couple of months ago, followed the chat but haven't posted anything until now. So I've decided to join you guys in all the fun you have. I did 181.79 miles last month, well from the 15th onwards as I was ill for the beginning of the month and it sounds like a couple of you guys were. Anyway, my target is 300 miles, rollers in the week (still getting used to them, Xmas present from the wife) and hopefully some road cycling at the weekends. Good luck everyone, Cheers Jon.1

So target for February is 700KM. I've started ramping up the training, getting easier now I'm a bit lighter. Have a good month everyone:

Shooting for 150 this month. All done indoors on trainer.
2/1 7.05 miles
2/2 15.09 miles0 -
I'm in again. I don't think I'll set a specific goal. Weather here in Arkansas is so un-predictable here, I'll just take what I can get.1
-
January Total Miles: 254.96
January Total Duration: 15:43:12
I'm in for February. I'll be riding indoors again with my bike on a trainer. Probably won't get outside until April.
January was my first month, and I didn't set a goal. Since I'm enjoying Zwift so much I'll set my February goal at 300 miles.
Wishing you all a fantastic month of cycling.

I'm in for February again. I'll be doing a split of indoor and outdoor rides, since its still winter in my neck of the woods, its hard to manage more than my commute to work outdoor.
I hit 500km in January, so I will up it to 550km for the month of February.
Feb 1-5 - 6.6km (on going)

Jan totals: 509.8km

hi just found this, just before christmas i got vivosmart HR+ to keep track of things & set myself a 40 mile per month goal (mainly a 1.25 mile ride to work 5 days a week), I didn't quite make it in December, falling a couple of miles short, January saw me do just over 70 miles.
I've left it at 40 for this month but already upped it to 50 for March, once the lighter evenings are here I should be able to get out most evenings so will up it to about 1502 -
1.2.17 - 10.1km commute
2.2.17 - 5.3km (14min) indoor/rollers ( tough - I struggled to keep the cadence where it had been on my previous attempts. It wasn't until I finished that I realised I was on the big chainring, not on the small one like before
)
3.2.17 - 12.7km commute ( it looked nice and sunny when I woke up. Of course, it started to rain in the afternoon, so I got soaking wet on the way home... )

28.2km (of 160km goal)

I do most of my exercise on the elliptical in my living room while my road bike sits right there next to me neglected. I needed a reason to get back out on the road and just found this thread I've been having some back problems but I'm going to take a stab at a goal and shoot for 50 miles this month. 3

New here, I run but I recently purchased a road bike
Still learning everything, a week ago I did 25 miles on hills and had so much fun, but since then it has been raining every damned day
And more to come all this week so not sure what I'll do, my goal is 100 miles per week initially but really depends on the weather for now3 -
