704 miles of my own
I started riding my bike in early July and have logged a little over 700 miles since then. The goal was (and is) to get into better shape and drop a few pounds. So far, I have gotten into better shape, but haven't dropped many pounds. As in, I've lost 4.5 pound after riding 700 miles. While that kinda pisses me off, I know there are other factors involved like diet and so forth.
Anyway, Just thought I'd pop in the chart that I've created from my bike log data. I'm pretty pleased with the nice stair step of the number of miles logged each month, even though the number of rides each month has dropped slightly because I'm doing longer rides. I just home from a 20 mile ride home from work that I'm trying to get done twice a week until the time changes and makes that impossible. When I first started, that 20 mile ride home was my first major goal.
I know I've got a lot to learn on this stuff, but I'm enjoying getting out there and Damon's even gotten in on the act since we got him one of those tag along bikes that attaches to mine. He especially likes the 20mph downhill bits that we get from time to time.
