Well done to all who reached their goal, very impressive. Those that didn't good luck this year.
Are turbo miles allowed?
If they're equivalent to real miles then yes. None of this 30mph for 2 hours lark!
I only managed 3612 miles last year with no 500 mile months but hoping I can get a few in this year.
I need the motivation so I'll be joining for 2015......
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...

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 😆

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!! 😀

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.
😆
