    I am sticking with 100 for my pledge, even though I missed it by just under three miles last week. I have had to modify my route home to get more miles in since I am getting fewer recreational miles on the weekends. For some reason my 7 year old doesn't want to go crank out 30 miles on a Saturday. Go figure!

    Wow!!! Thanks for the compliment :bigsmile: I felt I should make up for falling short last week. I started the week off right with a 32.5 miler today :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Have a great week, everyone :drinker:

    Only 74 last week, but WOW skywalker... great week. I am super, duper inspired to get some miles in now. I'll be out this coming weekend but I'll do what I can during the week, planning on 80.

    IF I could count time working on the project bike with my cannibalized components I'll be kicking butt!! I can't wait until it's done. I discovered I can fit near 29er wheels (700 x42) on my frame and upgrading it to a full road STI shifters and drops. Basically, mountain wheels on a road bike.... wicked cool. I'll send pics when done. :drinker: :drinker:

    I didn't do the 150 last week. That's my pledge for this week :happy: I came up 24m short of my 125m goal for last week. Back in week 2 of our club, I had a 165m week, so I'm hoping to repeat that or at least come close. Looking fwd to seeing your new project. Good luck with it!!! :drinker: :happy: :drinker:

    Um... I'm sure you'd be the one kicking MY butt if we were ever to be on a ride together. :laugh: It takes me a lot of hours to put in those miles and I still have never done a Century... :noway:

    I live in the valley. Went to the mountains and did hills and a summit that was 7200ft. Thought I might die. Something to keep working on.

    For now we're just posting on the thread. Spyguy has been having spreadsheet issues. So until he says otherwise, we're just doing it this way :happy:

    I pledged 100 and got in 99. I know I know could have gone around the block one more time. But, after those summit climbs my legs were spent this week. I am going to drop to 25 this week. I have to drive for a bit to work because of a hostile situation. This is so not pleasing to me. I'm an addict now having to have my ride. Its just not the same on the trainer.:sad: Very busy weekend but doesn't involve the bike. so sad.

    I did it!!!

    I have broken my first major goal of 100 miles since getting the bike, i am so chuffed :happy:

    I have now set my next goal on the ticker at 500 miles, it will be intersting to see how long it takes me to get there. It took me 3 weeks and 3 days to hit the first goal. I'm going to aim for 12 weeks, which averages out at 33 miles per week. :happy:

    I also beat my time for my regular ride tonight by 12 minutes. :drinker:

    I pledged 150 and did 160!!! That pledge was to make up for a deficit the week before. Gotta make my 1500 by the end of this month!! I'm back on track now and going back to my 125 mile pledge for this week. Good luck, everyone!!! :drinker:
