    @twenaj You've only got the rollers for Christmas and you are already riding such long distances on them? That's impressive! I bought mine a few weeks ago, but I still find riding on them really hard. No chance to coast for a few seconds to take a breath, and as soon as my concentration wavers for a moment, I ride off the sides. I can't even imagine 40 miles on them!

    @Elise4270 Awesome that the new pedals work for you! I guess I'll read you a lot in the March tread then :smile:

    @tristramtrent 40 miles would be a long ride for me too! There's a cycling event on the 21st May that I'm thinking about, where the shortest ride is 60km. I've never done a ride that long, and I'm not sure I have the time to train for it since there's a running race two weeks earlier that's more important to me. My longest single ride this year was a little over 20km. But if you already rode 38km this month, I'm sure you will be ready for the 40mi ride!

    It was quite stormy yesterday, but since I was missing one final commute to reach my goal, I braved the weather. There was even a bit of lightning - fortunately only type 1 from @tcaley4 's list :smile:
    So for a change, I actually made my goal in this challenge!


    1.2.17 - 10.1km commute

    I'm in.... Goal 200 again. Fell a little short last month.. Never know what the winter weather will be like.

    I'm only counting my outdoor miles because that is all I can count on a LBS challenge.

    2/1 - 20.58 miles 37*F
    2/2 - 12.65 miles 25*F winds NNW @ 10 feels like 9 accordingly to weather bug lol.
    2/6 - 18.18 miles 45*F
    2/7 - 5.49 miles 52*F so windy 20 mph gust to 30+
    2/9 - 8.38 miles 13*F winds 11 mph feels like 6*
    2/10 - 14.95 miles
    2/11 - 30.67 miles
    2/14 - 10.53 miles
    2/16 - 12.32 miles
    2/17 - 6.27 miles

    2/28 - 5.59 miles

    Woohoo I made it!! Had to go out and ride with Thunderstorms in the forecast, Tornado watches in the county next to us, rain drops coming down and 16 mph winds but I was going to get it. At least no lightning.

    @nikkiwolf, sorry I have mislead haven't I? My friend called them rollers and it's sort of stuck with me, until now after your comments.
    I have just googled rollers, yes they are slightly different aren't they? I couldn't imagine doing a mile on it let alone 40 without falling off and breaking my neck, so hats off to you if your able to ride on that. I apologise for misleading, what I have is a turbo trainer, I think that's the correct term for it. Cheers Jon.
