We've had our bikes for 12 days now, and put about 8 miles on 'em so far. Never make 1000 miles in 6 months at this rate, but it's still a good goal to shoot for.

With better judgement after April it looks like we'll probably need to put in about 20 hours/180 miles per month to make it. That should be doable! Not easy or effortless, but doable.

On the plus side, we've got the water bottles on, and the bike computer hooked up, and the weather is warming up. As I get older, I've decided that watching a baseball game and riding a bike in the cold is no fun! So I have no excuse now not to just ride.

In the spirit of "Bike Watchers", I'll post my progress here from time to time and hope that "peer pressure" can egg us along. Thanks.

Maybe we can get a bunch of folks to post their goals and help each other out.

Start a thread and we'll be listening...
