That 100 feet per mile here would mean one of two things, get permission to ride up the landfill mountain (highest point in the county) or figure out how to ride up a water tower :-).

6/1 - 10.1 my goal is 10-15 miles 4 week nights a week and 25 miles and longer on Saturday. Weeknight rides will focus on increasing average speed and cadence, while weekend rides will focus on increasing endurance and distance in preparation for Centuries in September and October.

In April I set my goal at 100 and made 140. Last month I set it to beat the April total and made my stretch goal of 200. For June I am going to back it off a little since I don't have any vacation this month to 150 with stretch to 200.

6/1 25.0 miles mtd John

Giving @IBOHUNT another chance to catch me. Took two days off in a row. Tried to go outside for a ride yesterday evening and abandoned due to 30+ mph gusts no more than 50 feet from my drive. Retreated inside to a trainer and gave up that noise after about 9 minutes, just was not feeling it. Group ride tonight if anyone shows... windy still.

Last month, my goal was 100mi (as I just got my bike in April, and only did 30mi in April), but I was able to do 151.7 mi. So this month I'll set my goal for 200 mi, with a stretch goal of 250 mi.

June Goal: 200 mi
--------------------
06/02: 10.1 mi
--------------------
MTD: 10.1 mi

2 straight days of pouring rain here. No riding for me since Sunday. Barely cracked the @Willbird 800 mile mark last month.
Stuck at 2,371 miles and only ~122,000' gain for the year (+ 88 hours on the trainer and I don't count those 'miles')

I am going to say 175 miles this month is my goal with 225 my stretch goal. I hit my goal last month but missed my stretch goal of 200 by 11 miles. So far 2 days into the month and I am at 32 miles.

I think I seen what you did there. I need to be much less larger than life than what I am now. My 40K ITT last weekend proved it.
