    I am buying a stationary bike today so I can start the challenge and be ready for road centuries as soon as the snow and ice allow me to get the recumbent back on the road!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I thought I was a tough cookie until now.... lol

    I applaud many of you who still ride outdoors even in -5 temperatures!! Not this chick:)

    I love taking century rides early spring - fall, but winter? I would totally be able to get 100 miles in a month on my trainer or on my recumbent exercise bike.

    I'm still new here, so can you tell do you do these challenges every month year around?

    Thanks Jenny

    Sweet! I've been off the bike the past week due to illness and I have a race coming up on 10 March, so I'm jumping in on this!

    I need to hammer out at least 200 miles this month (really 300+, as I have a race coming up 10 March, but I'm not sure that's happening) -- so that's my mark.

    Thus far, I've done nothing worth mentioning, so I'm going to start at 0.

    My training plan calls for 77 miles this week, 85 the next week, and 93 the week after that, so if I hit my marks I should make it.
