Biking Challenge - 1 mth, 150 miles

Rode 21 miles tonight. 592 miles for the month. Should pass my goal of 600 miles tomorrow.

I started with 150 a month back at the beginning of the year, and I just keep adding on. I believe my August goal will be 750.

That is a lot of miles. I don't think I actually have the time to cycle that much!

What kind of bike are you riding?

Wow, there's some amazing mileage going on in this thread! 600 miles in a month is just wow!

Well got a nice 12-14 mile ride planned for later today if this blasted headache goes - so should at least manage the 150!

Cool. Glad you are going to make it.

Is there going to be an Aug version... I missed the Jul one

I am new to this site but bike all the time. Husband and I did 20 miles this morning - will this thread keep going or will a new one begin? Love to talk to fellow cyclists!!

I have two identical Giant Cypress DX's. I have two, because at the beginning of the year, I was breaking spokes on a nearly daily basis because of my weight. So, I'd rotate bikes at the bike shop. Now, I haven't broken a spoke in about a month.

It does take a lot of time; much easier for me to gain weight, than lose weight.

That's a novel solution! Although really you'd only need two sets of wheels, not two whole bikes. Still, I'm impressed you can clock that many miles on a hybrid. I find them too uncomfortable to ride for any real length of time.

I actually have two sets of wheels for each of the bikes. I was breaking lots of spokes. Thankfully, those days seem to be behind me.

I'm actually buying another Cypress DX this week and shipping it to a friend in Oregon. We're planning on biking Highway 101 from the tip of Washington on the Canadian border, all the way to Mexico over the next year. I'm flying out on 8/24 to do the state of Washington stretch. I figured it was cheaper to have a bike that I leave out there, rather than flying one back and forth. He's got a nice car carrier, and he or his wife will drive us to our starting point each time we ride...

02 July: 35.6 miles
07 July: 13.5 miles
09 July: 21.5 miles
10 July: 16.3 miles
12 July: 41.3 miles
16 July: 14.4 miles
17 July: 27.1 miles
25 July: 14.2 miles
29 July: 30.1 miles
31 July: 27.1 miles

Total: 239.7

So yeah, I had a goal of 240, just to beat my June mileage of 214.9 miles. I'm short 3/10s of a mile on the last day. But effit. I wasn't doing squats every other day in June.

Final ride of the month; 16 miles. 608 miles for the month. Goal for August is 750 miles.

Great riding with all of you this month; keep up the great work next month.

I'm hoping to get a bike this week so I'll be in for this challenge!!!
