1/1 - 14.1mi Total: 14.1 miles Goal: 200-250 miles

Maybe next month I can change the title from challenge to something else. I set this up under Fitness & Exercise. Surprised to see it got moved over.

I am shooting for 200-250 miles this month

@ohhim impressive on the yearly goal. I am a few miles shy of 3,250 and that was a pretty reasonable amount for me. 5k is unfathomable.... hopefully I will make it there someday.

@Machka9 -- awesome work, that is incredible. @m1xm0d3 -- that event looks wicked. We have one large night ride here that I have yet to do. It has always looked like fun.

Wow -- I haven't been onto the discussion in a few days -- looks like everyone is super active with a ton of biking this month already. Nice to see in December! 12/01 - 20mi 12/03 - 19.7mi 12/04 - 19.8mi 12/05 - 17.4mi 12/07 - 20.4mi 12/09 - 19.9mi Total: 117.2mi Goal: 150mi

Welp -- I cant figure out how to get the photo uploaded.

Its been a fun month so far. Got out for my first winter ride and have been commuting to and from work on my fat bike. I also got Zwift set up and have passed my goal of 3,000 miles for the year. Heres a photo from my first winter ride: 12/01 - 20mi 12/03 - 19.7mi Total: 39.7mi Goal: 150mi

With 2016 coming up shortly -- do you like the monthly threads or would you like to do a group 2016 thread where we can have our history for 2016 in one thread?

Its a bit early but I wanted to make sure that I was able to get it onto the boards since its our last day of the month. Here is the new December thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10292312/december-2015-bike-bicycle-cycling-challenge?new=1

My goal for this month is for 150 miles between indoor and outdoor riding. I am going to try and focus more on strength training this month to help with my riding.

Were getting our first measurable snow today in MN which means that time will be split between snow riding and trainer riding. Ended up picking up an Ant+ dongle so that I can ride with Zwift this year; I look forward to breaking the monotony of trainer riding with it.

We have been sitting in the 20s and 30s for the past couple weeks and after our heat wave of 2 - 40 degree days we are going to go down again. I am going to try and ride outside through the winter but will also use my trainer. It has been interesting learning how to dress for colder weather & I look forward to having my…

Hey group -- figured this would be a good question to poll you with. What weather conditions, if any, cause you to not ride outside?

I am sorry to hear that Steve. It is impressive that you were able to get on your bike as much as you have -- hopefully it gave you some time to be with your thoughts.

Congrats on hitting your year goal Steve!!

Hi @NotSoPerfectPam I'll jump in on the feedback about weight as well. When I started riding I was ~189 or so. I watched my intake when not riding and ended up at my current weight of 165-167. Biking is my standard method of working out but with winter around the corner I plan on starting some weight training as well. In…

This is the month where things usually start to get quite a bit more cold and snowy in MN. I'll try for 200 and see how that goal goes.
