Wow, the new year is here. I know many of you have made some new year's resolutions, and they if they include cycling, let's see if you can match - or better yet - beat your goal.

Each 100mi=one century. How many miles will you challenge yourself to cycle in January?

Come back here and let us know your progress. At the end of the month, PM me and I will tally the totals and let you know how we did as a group.

My personal challenge - 1 century in January.

    I prefer outdoor biking. I think I will have to make a conservative 150miles the goal and hope for clean roads. I actually prefer cold weather biking to warm weather biking!!!! Bike on!

    Let's see. November was a hair under 120 miles. December was a fraction under 150. So, in January, I'm going for at least 180. It'll probably have to be mostly on the trainer if last January's weather was typical in our town. Egad.

    I'm buying a new bike!! I'm buying a new bike!!!!! I can join this again this month!

    But I won't be getting my bike for about a week or so, and I can't commute on it anymore, so I'm going to set my goal sort of low... at, like, 50 miles. :D

    I'm SO EXCITED!!! I'M BACK!!!!!!!

    well - according to my plan for the year, I've got 300km pencilled in, so let's be optimistic and call it a double century for Jan 2012 - hopefully at least 1 of them being on the road, rather than on the trainer.

    Fingers crossed for some better weather :smile:

    I'm going to keep my goal at 300 miles for January since I didn't quite make it in December.

    Hey gang!

    Debating how many miles for the month since I still have a few more months of indoor riding-wimp for the cold!

    I rode over 4000 miles in 2011 and would like to shoot for 5000 in 2012. That would mean 400 for the month....that seems unrealistic but I am going to throw it out there anyway.

    Hope everyone has a great 2012!

    I'm hoping for good weather in January, but if I don't get it, I'll ride on the trainer indoors. My goal is 400 miles for January, and hoping for 6000 miles for 2012.

    I was fortunate, and had no health problems in 2011, and I hope that repeats this year.

    I'll join, but mine will be on a stationary bike, because I don't have a regular bike right now. lol I'll say 75 miles since I'm just getting started with a bike and I'm not the fittest right now, so I'll be taking it at a slower pace for awhile until I'm use to it.

    I'll commit to the 100 miles but will shoot for more.

    I did 520 Miles in Nov, 572 Miles in Dec. Hope to do around 500+ this month too!

    Year target should be around 4000 Miles, because between May-September its impossible to cycle in India...it becomes overbearingly hot!

    See you all Rockstars here often! Have a great year!

    Cheers!
