since I failed miserably at 300 in June and will be vacationing for a week, I'm in for 200 for this month.

I'll jump in and push for that goal. I have two bikes now so if one goes down then I can get on the other. Last month when I had one bike I was down for a week and a half due to a shock failure, cost me some riding time. Looking forward to my first attempt at a goal like this.

I will join this challenge. 200 miles is a great goal; getting some hill climbs in there is the bigger part of my goal. I am a MN flatlander and need some of that challenge.

I rode 116 miles today and at least 18 yesterday, but I don't have an odometer, so I'm not in. I commute 12 miles/day roundtrip to my job as a bicycle delivery boy, so I'll have 200+ by next weekend.

31.5 before morning coffee today. I've got to get on it seeing as how I'll be out of town (and riding abilities) for about 11 days....
