Who wants to sign up for the thousand mile month challenge? You are only eligible if you have never done a 1k mile month. Good month for it, 31 days, long weekend to start the month. Go for it. So far after 3 days(2 riding) I'm at 120 miles. That's an average of 40 per day. To make 1000 for the month average needs to be 32.26.

Not a good month for it in Phoenix.

It was brutal this morning! I'm fine with heat, just can't handle any humidity. Truss what part of Peoria? I'm at 91st ave and Union Hills. I ride the New River Trail to the canal daily.

I would, but I won't have access to my bike for a week (ugh).

Good luck though!

rangerdavid

There are quite a few other long distance challenges in the Long Distance Forum, including:

-- the Century-A-Month - one century in each month of the year
-- the Century Challenge - as many centuries as you can ride, whenever you want to ride them
-- the Double Century Challenge - as many double centuries as you can ride, whenever you want to ride them

After 7 days, 239 miles, average just above 34 miles per day. 48 miles yesterday, 102 at the start. With the weekend coming up, average mileage should go up.

A metric month?
Is that 10 days or 100?

I can get 1000km in during summer if I get away for a few days to rack up the distance but 1000 miles is elusive.

You really are like the Fred Plague.

This is the perfect month for it, despite the weather. Started with a long holiday weekend, last two days of the month are saturday and sunday, so it really just comes down to going into that weekend, how bad do you want it?

Finished. 1001.35 miles 24 rides in 31 days highlighted by the 54.4 miles up and down Mt. Evans in Colorado (14K feet) on the 23rd)

Congratulations. Looks like you cut it close, hope your computer is correctly calibrated.

Machka 

Congratulations.

Post it here, with the other 1000 mile month finishers: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...onth-Challenge

My high-mileage months haven't come from riding 34 miles every single day, but from doing a bunch of long randonneuring rides in there, too. I've had several thousand-mile months this year, and just set a new personal best this month at 1,458 miles or so. And, it's been 29 consecutive days that it hit 100 degrees, too. I've almost got as many miles so far this year as I did in all of 2010.
