Thumbs up June Cycling Challenge

So if I get the ball rolling a bit earlier this month () , think we can have a great June Challenge? June is here, and if you live in anywhere besides a small, Colorado mountain town, then your weather has already broke and you should be out spinning like a maniac! If you live in Steamboat, then it just snowed on Wed. night and the trails are still wet, so the rides are cooooold, but feel goooooood. The roads are just chilly.

Let's start getting some goals posted, and if you have some ideas on how to switch things up, post them here.

I'm out for June. I expect to actually get ON my bike in June, but it continues to be third priority after running and weight training... so I don't have any specific training goal or mileage. Hope everyone else has fun with the game!

I'm still going to try and hit that 200 mile goal, so 200 it is.

Put me down for 200

June is going to be extremely busy for me but I am doing the MS150 the weekend of the 22nd so I think I can squeak out 50 miles in the first part of the month.

It's pronounced two-fitty-one: it's fun to say.

Actually, put me down for two-fitty-six.

When you get over 400, it's just pronounced 'imbalance'. :p

You realize you're going to need to get on a bike to reach that, right?

Between upper body and lower? Lord knows I could use some quads. Maybe 400 hundy aught to be my goal.
