You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm going to set a more realistic goal of 4500 miles (375/month) for me for 2015...
My twice a week commute should account for roughly ~2700 of that, meaning the remaining ~1800 should come from weekend/evening riding, with peaks and troughs likely throughout the year, 4.5k is achievable but still challenging for me, where 6k just ain't going to happen...
If they're equivalent to real miles then yes. None of this 30mph for 2 hours lark!
So downhill and tailwind miles don't count either then ?? 😉 /Devilsadvocate
Anyone know if Ant+ is compatible with Endomondo? And how would you go about recording turbo miles?
Yep, works with Ant+, and there's an indoor cycling setting. Not sure if it'll add the indoor rides to the challenge though?
how is the 1st month going everyone?
think i may set my monthly target to 600 miles this year........feeling strong as a ox so far this year. trying not to do too many miles early on.

Show off...
chip.......just too much spare time.... 😉
This month.. Very bad, next month I WILL do 500 miles.
610 miles done so far, feverish all day and 3x night shifts might draw a line under this month
615 so far. Hope to hit 700 by the 31st. Big ride in the summer so need to do some steady mileage.
Good going people! Especially in the recent snow/ice.
Good going yourself Will. Over 800 already I see.
Who is Tim Bling Zangolin?
Ton, well done mate. 237 this month for me, but still running and swimming too, can't get out of this ironman training even though i'm not doing it this year.
Yup going very well, however I'm classifying mine as Kilometers 😆
wors.......you need to do a bit of touring.
stw touring weekend would suit you fine.

When is it?
wors, 17th/18th april at newton stewart. 13 going so far, all off here.
Too much ice and travelling for me this month, and the two have rarely coincided annoyingly. Last ditch effort this week, but no way I'll hit 500, 400 at a push I reckon!
Are you camping or b & b Ton?
booked the complete hostel for the weekend.
ill check the calendar pal

Yeah but all quite flat. Only 32,000ft.
Quite like the idea of a touring weekend!

more than welcome will............more the merrier.
email in my profile if you fancy it.
Only 350 so far for me, had a week of gale force winds so didn't commute. then a week of snow and ice but still managed to do 3 days.
I'm up on last years total for January, and 2012 & 2013 so that was always my aim anyway.
Lost a couple of kilos and now at 68.5kg and feel great on the bike so its going well so far.

Thanks Ton. I'll check the dates.
As of this morning I was at 484 miles and confident that by the end of the week I would get to 500. The forecast of 24 hours of snow could have thrown a spanner in the works, it's just started in Oldham.

You sir, are an absolute animal!! 😀
You sir, are an absolute animal!!
Not detracting from Tim's mileage, but have you seen the guy who's leading the Strava MTS challenge for January!? [url= https://www.strava.com/athletes/389932 ]8829km in January[/url] 😯
Can't quite work out what he's doing, there's references in the comments to "x days until a rest day", I wondered if he was one of the guys trying to do Tommy Godwin's record, but not so sure.

Or own a moped. 😀

That's the man, thank you, thought there had to be a purpose!
that is pretty impressive.
Yeah but it's summer over there. [i]Anybody[/i]could do that in summer 😆
48.5 miles for me in January.
But February I will be on it like a car bonnet.
3 miles short of 600 miles. i failed because of a overpowering need to quench my thirst with a few blonde's this afternoon.
Just scaped past with 506 miles for me:)
Floped it at 219 in my defence for some reason my GPS didn't pick up on a few days rides so timed me but no distance
Also was away from home for work for a week so that was a no go pretty crap start tbh have some nice event that should be able to top me up
Just got over the 700 mark at 703. Quite hard going in the cold especially the icey days. Probably be less this month.
1706 in the end.
Pretty good I reckon, working from home has that effect.
Feb looks like it'll be a lot leaner than that, so glad I made the best of it whilst I could.
😆
212 for me, not bad considering how busy I am at work.
Target was 300 for this month but someone in fun control decided we should spend time together yesterday, then went off on her own in town!!
Next month could be interesting as my Garmin fell off the bike on Friday, there's an 100 mph spike where the following car glanced it! I hope it works ok in my rear pocket until I can source a warranty replacement from Garmin. (The plastic mounting finally succumbed on a level crossing at 30kph-ish).
1,706 miles for Jan. Very impressive indeed!
My goal is 50 miles a week... a horrid January saw 100 miles on the clock.
Today I notched 40 miles so it is looking better for February already and i'm riding tomorrow... can't wait.
Off to the pub now for beers and a band.
I surprised myself with 485.69 mi, as I hadn't even looked at the mileage. I was more interested in the 20,063 m Elevation Gain.
February's going to be a struggle due to work pressures and 3 days less to start with. 🙁
I was helped along by not working for the first two weeks in Jan mind 😀
Maybe BB, but still jolly impressive.
shyte start to february, missed the last 6 days with tonsillitis.
just been for a nice easy 10 miles to see how i feel, and feel fine, so back on it..... 8)
Thats great, this time it's me holed up with a Stomach problem so will be off the bike for a week, possibly two.
Enjoy the warming up temperatures 😀
Due to current circumstances the only time I get to ride is midnight on the road, so last night was the first time this month I felt confident I would not hit ice so was my first time out in feb.
Did 21 km last night then saw it was not added to my total because I had endomondo set on walking not cycling.
Is there any way I can edit it after the fact to get the ride added to my total or is it a lesson learned in checking before setting off.
just click on edit when viewing that entry on the endomondo website... and edit it 🙂
handy way to get lots of PBs. I got my 5k, cooper, and half marathon records the other day by logging a ski trip as running.
Ta! I could not see how to do it on the app, but did as you said on the desk top version.
Cheers,
SO nice that the temperatures are getting warmer, certainly making it easier to ride for longer now. Only had 1 base layer on today 🙄
stuggling this month, will be lucky if I reach 300 miles. had a week off the bike with tonsillitis, now got a hacking cough.
so much for 600 miles per month.....me and my bike mouth eh?......... 🙁
I managed 556 in January which included a week off the bike with man flu. So far this month I'm at 322 but I'll have a week off at the end of the month as work will get in the way so will probably finish around 550 again.
April will be a good month, I've got an 84 mile sportive at the start and a 100 miler at the end so that's a fair chunk of the 500 target out the way.
wanted to cheat, and count my skiing miles too, but that still only comes to ca. 400km (plus it was all last month)
will definitely try to think about maybe taking the bike out for a spin this weekend.
Being forced to take more holiday this week in a take it or loose it way which kills off my commute miles will pop out on Friday for a bit but nowhare near target
What's this, the post your excuses not to ride 500 miles a month thread! 😉
lol yup. got my excuse in before 1/1 too 😉
Yes 😆
Nice to have a little less ice about and a little warmer the last 2 days
I may be able to take part in this for the month of march
Doing the way of the roses the first week of march so thats 170 miles in 3 days 🙂
Is it bad form to only join the party in March, or do I need a note from my parents?
Been enduring the cold through winter so clocking over 200 miles a week this year. Ultimately ride for fun. I am trying to train for races so that is what motivates me At present.
got my comfy bike built back up, so hopefully might get a bit of mojo back.
might even enter a couple of audax events too.
500 miles done by the 17th of the month. This total includes the 25 miles into work this morning.

Not touched my bike(s) in two weeks after some impromptu surgery, I'm sticking with the few hundred gained in the early few days.
Might try a spin later, see how I feel.
I'm out chaps. Family probs mean its going to be almost impossible to commute or indeed ride at all.
I have managed a massive 170 miles so far this month.....might struggle to 250.
never felt as ill for so long.
I actually went for a ride, so I think I'm not last.
Was much colder than I thought it would be (still snowy in places up at Frankenstein's Castle).
Might go for a ride this weekend too.
Might have to change my challenge to 500 turns of the pedals per month.
Still need to plan some proper excursions, which was my main target for the year, rather than mile munching.
Few days left in feb. How you all doing?
crap!!!! managed 308 miles this month. been ill pretty much the whole month.
life is such eh? 😆
Not added it up but I'm somewhere in the 600s I think. Hopefully get to 700 by Saturday. Heading off out in 10 minutes for a couple of hours.
604 for the YEAR, pitiful.
Too many bugs going around plus a bit of tactical resting for some daft fell race I signed up for 🙂
Hopefully start this properly next month
fingers crossed
710 so far for me, not great, but not terrible.
Our investment team at work (say 15 people) are doing a virtual lands end to John O'Groats of 874 miles with their collated mileage. They're currently at 568 miles. My ambition so far this year is to beat them to it 😉
A pathetic 145 miles for me this month, my heads not in the game this month after 2 interviews and 2 rejections, just not feeling it 🙁
Sorry Stumpy.
Get a map, plot a big route and just disappear for the day, clear your head. You'll feel better for it.
I've end the month on 748 miles. Late nights at work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday kept me off the bike for most of this week 🙁
2081 miles so far this year - some weird activity/mileage going on over in Thailand [url= https://www.endomondo.com/profile/19178476 ]https://www.endomondo.com/profile/19178476[/url]
Maybe he's a rickshaw rider / bike courier?
Well I've been hunkering on down and in the drops this week and feeling much better. Had a long blast on the roadie today and put some effort in, seems I've lost a little bit of power and actually started to blow a bit 20mins from the end of the ride 😐 so another week and totted up 130 miles which all things considered ain't bad at all.
I'm dropping hours down at work, looks like a 4day weeks for me until June so expect to fit in some Point to Point rides and having found a new bunch of blokes to ride with the diary is filling up nicely...
😀
