My goal for the challenge/TdF: 7 sessions, 30 minutes per session (210 minutes total).  I'm doing this based on time per my training plan, so hopefully that works.

My goal is 21 sessions for a total of 250 miles. Two down, but I'm not making a lot of progress on the mileage, just shy of 25 miles so far.

Woo Hoo let's go team! My goal is 8 stages 100 miles. Seems small but considering i've only ridden my road bike twice in the last few months it's pretty challenging for me. I'm going to count my spin classes as one stage/12 miles since they last an hour and I actually average 15miles/hr when I ride. I think that's a fair estimate. I don't want to go by time because I am actually shooting to do most of my riding on the road and not in spin.

Lets ride!

Hello team! In for 600 miles over 18 stages. I'm off to a little bit of a slow start thanks to some mechanical issues on my last two rides but I have about 50 ish miles in over 2 stages.

Awesome looking group so far. I'm just checking in before my morning ride, so I'll post my goals later this morning.

So I'm in for 13 rides, 575 miles. This week is my yearly big bike week, so I should be getting in some good rides to start off. The weather isn't co-operating, as it looks to be super hot and maybe rainy, but I'll hammer away.

So far I've got 2 rides and 99.5 miles.

I will def be doing longer bikes on the weekend to get my miles in

JoAnne once we have the spreadsheet up you'll be able to log your rides and miles there.

Good Afternoon Team.
Just to clarify, we are logging our rides on our usual training logs until the spreadsheets are done ?

Through Monday - 3 stages @ 86 miles
* I'm in for 21 stages @ 500 Miles.

Rode this morning - ended up only being 36 minutes, but it was better than nothing.  Tipped over and now my derailleur needs adjusting.
