30 Days of Cycling in April?
Just curious ... are any of you doing this 30 Days of Cycling in April challenge?

I didn't find out about it until April 2, and we took that day off the bicycles, so I was unable to complete this when it had barely started. But nevertheless, Rowan and I have ridden 4 of 5 days in April so far.

I'm in on it and have done the first 4 days. Kind of a fun way to get the season started

I've ridden every day so far without even knowing about the challenge...
My schedule says I have the day off tomorrow (only 1 of 3 days off all month).
Thinking maybe I can get away with riding to work or something (~7 miles 1-way). Hmmm.

I think I rode 17 days last month and hit 1,600 miles. Doing 30 days would kill me, I'm sure.

Depends on what you're riding for. If the purpose is trying to get people to ride to replace car travel, then maybe it makes some sense.
For recreational, or fitness purposes, it doesn't seem to make sense.
Having to ride every single day is going to take the fun out of it.
And riding everyday is likely to be counterproductive from a fitness/training point of view.

Cycled 7 of 10 days this month ... Rowan and I had a really nice ride tonight after work on our tandem. The last time we rode our tandem was on April 1, 2012 ... just over a year ago!!

If I count the Mtn biking while camping (3 days), Im 10 for 10. Other wise 7 for 10.

I've done 40 days straight before. You need rest days, so that's actually pretty dumb. Which makes it an ideal 41 topic.

Don't think I've had a day off cycling for 8 months. But I do ride for transport and fun - not sport. Don't care about training.
