Yep. Longest ride in almost 4 years. (And I appreciated the "wow"!)

Gonna be tough for me now, pulled my calf pretty bad trying to kick start a dirtbike. Deep muscle pull too :(

02/04 (04/02 to you Americans :D) - 12mi

I'm in for 100+. I haven't done over 100 miles in a month since October. I rode all of 25 miles last month, and the weather is certainly cooperating to be able to commute.

So far 0 miles. Hoping to ride to work tomorrow (despite the supposed 40º in the morning). That'll give me 1/4 of my goal.

Great job. Impressed. Where abouts did you ride? How far you way from Philly?

krobinson103 04-04-12 06:03 AM

Only got 70km in this week so far. I have a 60km day tomorrow with my morning ride and the commute later. Plan on 2 60-70km rides on Saturday and Sunday. That should keep me on track for my second 1000km with no breaks :) 2 months and not one day off. Doing great.

Great effort, but no rest days in 2 months, glad your doing great! The 1000km is a nice round number good goal.

I'm in for 200 in April, but I will miss about a week and a half worth of riding days. We are leaving Florida for Connecticut on Saturday and stopping in at 2 different relatives places for 2 das each on the way home. Bike is staying in Florida, I've got a new one waiting for me when I get home :)

hotwheels 04-04-12 04:04 PM

I'll join this challenge and go for 450miles/724.17km

RedC 04-04-12 05:44 PM

I only got 485 in March was hoping for 500 will try for 500 again this month but I have to work the last week of the month will have to step up the distances on the weekends

Great effort, but no rest days in 2 months, glad your doing great! The 1000km is a nice round number good goal.
If I ride that far I can I lose 1kg a week. Already dropped from 101.5kg to 95.8kg. :) Just another 10kg to go and I hit my goal. Sadly my bikes are having a hard time. Lost a spoke this morning which means my commute will be on the older MTB which isn't nearly as fun... and I can't officially log my milage as the computer got transferred to the new bike. I think 1000km a month is an easily obtainable goal with only 2 hours every morning and 3-4 hours each day during the weekend. I'd love to do more and see just how far I can go till I want to die, but family and job issues restrict that.

Cyclist0084 04-05-12 05:56 AM

Black wallnut 04-05-12 06:26 PM

+12.5 today.
Over the weekend a cold materialized, rode to work on Monday and regretted it. Took the last two days off as total rest while overloading on Emergency. The rest did lots of good.
