June Bike Challenge????

the Bear said he'd do it again if there was enough interest. I'm going to post my mileage goal on my log, so feel free to come badger me if I'm not making it.

Okay, I'm in on this one, with a few suggestions:

• That any "goal" has to be at least 20% higher than last month's actual mileage.  I fear the ladies have been holding back on the gentlemen in order to pave the way to victory. 
• Whatever we decide to "wager", I don't want to see any more of my male compatriots (literally, I think we've seen enough).  But, the wager has to be good since we need to extract some humility from the chickas.

Of course some of the gentlemen could have held back last month with this in mind. (300 miles? In a month? That's a good week for us Cervelo riders!)

Seriously, let's flesh (no pun intended) this out, what are the terms you guys want?

I dunno about that 20% thing.    That would mean I need to pull off a 738 mile month.  That's two centuries a week!  I think if it is the equal to or higher than your biggest month to date ( or at least the previous month? ) that'd be more fair.

I have no doubt I could do it, but need to balance in swimming and running there too ( not to mention working full time! ).  Heh.

Maybe 20% higher, up to 500 miles? I would have hated to have that rule in effect after I rode 900 in April, meaning I needed to ride 1,080?

I couldn't even play if it was "biggest month to date," no way am I going to neglect my swim and run (and family!) at this point in the season.

Not your previous goal, but your previous month's actual mileage.

How would you  guys feel about the male vs female team thing but maintaining the charity aspect? maybe each team can choose a beneficiary charity to which the losing team would contribute ? Y'all can also show your booty or whatever other foolishness you decide on.

I would be in but alas I'm I'll be gone two weeks out of the month ironically crewing for a person who is doing Race Across America the 3,000 mile race across the country. Does logging someone else's miles count!

I like the team aspect too...but wondering if we might be able to do something besides boys vs. girls. Really, I can get tired of that one (but never doubt girlie power!).  Other ideas- east vs. west or young'uns vs. not-as-young'uns.  I'm in- 250 miles (FOR REAL this time).

I like it!
