Keep it going folks. Even if you're starting now, it's only 8 miles/day (less than an hour of your time).

That's awesome! You should sneak on over to the 300 miles in July thread if you've not been there already!

Can I join, even though I am already in the 150 mile challenge? Think I might be able to hit 200 this month.

Ok did 11.8 miles this evening for a recovery ride from the weekend of pounding on some miles. Felt good to get out temps were in the mid 80°'s with a lite head wind on the return trip to the car. This brings our running total to 84.8 miles so far.

Took a nice 20 mile loop on the prairie path today. That'll make a dent.

Pick a new target, such as the 300 mile challenge. Congratulations, there's always a new hill to attack.
