Resident Curmudgeon  25290    The Road Back Gold member |  Subject: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 ChallengesTwo new cycling challenges to get you going for the rest of the year: 5,000 Club Double Your Pleasure Sign up in this thread to do one or both. For instance, after a depressing June I had only 2219 miles for the first half of the year. If I hit 5,000 I will also have doubled my goal. Any takers? Edited by the bear 2007-07-05 2:55 PM |

Champion 5345 Carlsbad, California | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges I am in for the 5,000 mile club for sure. (I hit just over 3,200 miles for the first half of the year) Given that I will be marathon training in the fall, it is probably not likely that I will ride more in the 2nd half of the year so Double Your Pleasure is probably out. |

| Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Heck I'll try to keep you company in both of these pursuits as well.
1st half of the year was 2091.38mi hoping to hit the 5k which would qualify me for the double your pleasure. Edited by oweiss 2007-07-05 4:17 PM |

Coach 10487 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges I am on for double the pressure... I 'might' be able to pull off the 5k but I don't want to get ahead of myself right now! |

Lethbridge, Alberta Bronze member | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Well, if nothing else, at least I can do the double challenge. Up to the end of June I have ridden 1432.5 km, or about 890.1 miles. The challenge was 1 mile more, so my goal is (890.1 x 2) + 1 = 1781.2 miles or about 2867 km, at least. That might not look like much compared to some of the other numbers being tossed around but it's slightly more than my total from last year. I'm hoping for more, but this much at least. This biking stuff would be a lot easier, given my available training, if I wasn't trying to swim and run better too!  |

Champion 9430 No excuses! | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges count me in for both Bear, if I hit 5000 like you I will be more than double. Better make hay while the weather is nice, nothing worse than having to slug out the miles on the trainer while the snow flies  |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges I'm in for the double your pleasure...don't think I can hit 5K as I'm taking off Nov. & Dec. for surgery.

| Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Made it to half-way today. I'm stoked to say the least as it is something of a reminder of how far I have come in the 11 last months when I finally decided to get off the couch. |

Veteran 202 Overland Park, KS (Like the OC but OP) | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Already well over 5000 so I guess sign me up for double the pressure... |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges I think I can do the Double Your Pleasure challenge. As of June 30th, I've ridden 430.95 miles. By the end of the year, I should ride 863. My stretch goal is to get to 1,000 - this would be the first year I'd managed to ride 1,000 miles. |

| Lethbridge, Alberta Bronze member | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges 2500 km down and about 370 km to go here. (The kilometer numbers look so much better than my mile numbers would. ) |

| Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges At 3800 miles on the year at the moment. Planning on riding my bike everday that weather allows in the hope of making it to the 5000 mark. Only 500 miles away from the double your pleasure goal. Taking August and most of September off as an "off season" is going to make this a close battle. |

Master 1688 ALSAGER, CHESHIRE. UK | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Hi Guys. Thought I was the only mental one who did these sort of miles on the bike. Glad to see I'm not alone. 2,740 for first half year, 4,517 to date. Hoping weather stays fine here for the run in to the end. Can't honestly see that I will double first six months figure as I would like to get some more running in. Hey Bear, am I right in thinking it's pretty flat where you are? If so I think you should set yourself an altitude challenge

| Lethbridge, Alberta Bronze member | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges My bike commuting today puts me over the top for the "Double Your Pleasure" challenge. With my smaller numbers, it wasn't hard to increase the volume a bit and finish early. This will probably become my biggest bike year yet. Thanks bear. In a semi-related side note, this weekend will also put my swim distance for this year over last year's total. My run distance is already about 20% over last year's total too. Long way to go yet, but one step at a time ... |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges 300 miles to go to reach double your pleasure for the year...hope to do more though..partly depends on the weather here in MA. I ride when it is 20 and above but rides get shorter the lower the temp. |

| Master 1728 portland, or | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Well I didn't "sign-up", but I noticed today that I went over 5,000 miles for the year with my ride last night. 5,014 excluding commuting miles (33.5 hours, or ~ 500 miles). 3,044 miles since July 1. Do I get a bonus for going over 500,000 meters of swimming as well? I'm not sure what I was thinking with that one. All that swimming got me a whopping 3 minute improvement in my IM swim time. scott |

| Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Finally broke 4000 miles today. 360miles from the "double my pleasure" goal. Doubt 5000 miles is going to happen this year. Overall pleased with my progress in my first full year of training in a decade. |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: 5000 Club/Double Your Pleasure 2007 Challenges Hit 3500 miles today and have less than 175 to go for the year. I'd love to hit 4000 for the year but depends on weather in MA. If it is above 20 I'll ride outside but rides get shorter. I need some nice 50 degree days to ride long |
