Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum, but would like to take part in the challenge. I'm thinking 275 miles for Dec should be good. Depending on the weather I may be able to get a whole lot more. All of my weekday rides are on a trainer so that really cuts the number down. Looking forward to seeing how it goes. how often do we update? Every day? Once a week?

12/13 Trainer MTD - 30.89
12/13 Road MTD - 33.26
12/13 Total MTD - 64.15

Sunday Update:

Unfortunately there is no update this week... I was unable to get out and add to a killer start for the month before everything iced over. On a better note, I'm picking up a stationary this afternoon so even if I can't get true saddle time, I can at least get some spin time and blow my 100 outta the water!

Question for everyone - How often do you update your progress? This is my first time on the thread. I just did "Angels" Sufferfest video combined with Trainer Road and it was absolutely unreal. I sweated my rear off. I've decided to not keep track of trainer miles vs. regular miles because they all run together and I can't keep them straight.

Here are my stats to date this month:
12/9 -- 97.98 mi./ 275 mi.

This is my first one of these threads in a long time, but I just update whenever I ride. Or when I need to lament that I couldn't. Welcome!

I see a lot of people that update daily. I try to stick to once a week. I figure that since I weigh Sunday mornings after any exercise and shower, but before work, that's a good day to update everything. It also gives me a reason to do nothing for a bit when I get to work

Same old, same old... I am more of a cold weather wimp than I used to be... Spin time isn't all that great either, stationary needs front bearings... oh well, maybe my goal can be to spin it into the ground...

So-----? That's only 2-3" over the pedals, and only at the very bottom of the stroke.
