If you are new to posting on this thread, or if you are new to cycling, We welcome you! If you are returning from a previous thread, We welcome you, too.
This thread is for anyone who rides a bicycle ... or unicycle, tricycle, tandem, etc.
Do you bike to work? Do you pull your children to the park? So you ride weekends? Do you spin at home or in the gym? Is Zwift your thing? Do you race crits, ironman, or centuries? Or, are you just starting out and remembering how much fun you had biking when you were a kid? However you choose to push your pedal, you are welcome on this thread.
There's no set challenge across participants - this is a mixed-ability / mixed-experience / everyone welcome group. Just pick your own target that you want to achieve this month, post that when you join the thread, and post updates throughout the month as you're working towards your target.
Bring on July!
(BTW - Thanks to @CricketKate for starting all this back in 2012)

I got 7 miles in this morning riding with my children to the park. I may never have a free ride again now that my children have the bug. The ride to the park was only 1.6 miles, so 3.2 roundtrip. I managed to drag it out to 7 by riding around parking lots while waiting for my walking teenagers to catch up.1

July 4 - 12.5 road miles1 -
July 2 - 3 city miles
July 5 - 11 country miles
I'm riding a second hand mountain bike mainly on potholed country roads. I hate not having a destination so I try to build one into each outing, even if it's only a market to replenish my supply of bike snacks. This month I have some better destinations though - an archaeological dig which happens in our county, a church which serves teas, a farm shop where you can visit their (pet) animals where I get my veg. Each outing feels like a different kind of freedom from when I'm driving a car.1 -
July 1 - 13 miles, plus about 5 miles around town which included an ice cream break lol
July 3 - 9 miles
July 4 - 15 miles, slow
Conquered the 13 mile (round trip) trail I have been riding and explored a few miles to find another. Hoping to get in a few rides that direction in the next week or two!1 -

Late to the party this month. Been on vacation the last week. Got to ride a new trail twice. Once by myself and the second time my brother in law, his girlfriend and her son joined me. Awesome trail! I will definitely ride this one more. Tough trail with lots of climbing but the downhills made it worth it! 10 miles both trips.
July 3rd: 10 miles trail

Planning a group ride to the " Plains of Abraham Ape Canyon Trail ", on Friday July 13th in Washington State. This is a chance to ride up a volcano in a beautiful area. We are meeting at the trail head at 14:00. Bring lots of water because it will be hot and dry. Bring your climbing legs because it's around 16 miles round trip with 2500 ft of elevation gain. If anyone is interested feel free to message me. Check out the loop on Trailforks or Singletracks for directions and trail descriptions. Its always more fun to workout as a group and always fun to meet new people with common interests. I do have a couple spare bikes if you live in the area but don't have your own bike.
Here's a couple pics of the area for motivation to come.
