Chefisaac didn't start this one which is most unusual so I'll do it, being in the UK and so up while most of you guys are probably still sleeping.
So here's the challenge, as before, how far can we get in a month? I'm going to be bold and target 400 miles.
MTD - 0 miles
YTD - 1129 miles

I don't mind posting, last month I thought you'd slipped and was all about to do it for you only to find you'd already done it.Cont: I was about to post it last night but remembered you wanted to do post it last month so I thought what the he11!
As long as it gets done that's what matters, even though since this one was started in GREAT Britain I hope all my fellow larger riders (from anywhere in the world) get to bask in a bit of greatness this month

I recommend using bikejournal to keep track of mileage. It is easy to use and free, unless you want a bunch of extra fields.Iron chef is in!

Like last month I am going to be traveling quite a bit this month as we make our way north. I have no idea how much I will ride. The last half of the month I'll be at our Iowa condo and should get good riding in. However, I am going to go more for quality than quantity when in Iowa as there are a lot of hills and I want to work the hills. So, I'll be conservative and say 200 miles.

Hit 250 last month, and I missed a week. So let's aim for 350 or higher.
I hit 222 last month so 250 ho!
Cant ride today though.
I am in and going to shoot for 200...

I ride like there is no tomorrow, since for me there could be no tomorrow on the bike.

I hit 260 last month. They were quality miles and I upped my avg mph by one. I'm very happy with that...I pushed myself hard.
I would like to increase my running. I only ran 5 days last month and would like to bring that up. So my April goals will be 10 times running and 200 miles on the bike (while maintaining my new avg speed).
I hope mother nature and the kids sports schedules cooperate!

Thanks Gold. I like to write it the old fashioned way by hand and in a calender that sits on my desk at work. Feels great to look at it.
I am just glad that one of us remembers!I don't mind posting, last month I thought you'd slipped and was all about to do it for you only to find you'd already done it.

4-1: 40 miles. Nothing says "welcome to april" then a 40 mile ride!
I'm on-board! I'll shoot for 400 miles again this month. Had 430+ in March, but it took a Metric Century on the last day of the month to make it happen. That's 100 miles a week, a good goal for me.

Okay, I'm in again this month; this time around I'm going to shoot 235 miles (up from 200 in March).
Chef,
An even 40 sounds suspicious... BTW I too recommend the free bikejournal tracking site.
April kickoff,
Rode the mountain bike to the Bass River Rec. area, took the long route there up river to the next bridge. More riders than I've seen in the past. Did a few laps and headed home on the south side, shorter route. Came in just under 50, so I rode up to park to run across the soccer field and to get over 50.

4/1 - 4 miles
Crafted some bar wrap out of an old tire tube for my SS project and just had to test it out. So far its much comfier then the athletic tape I had on the bars.
I'm back. Count me in for 300.
4-2 20 miles.
4-4 10 miles.
4-21 20 miles.
