I'm a new ride, maybe since April or so ... I ride 2 mornings a week about 20 miles each morning and try to get a longer ride in on the weekends. I usually have one or two of the kiddos in the trailer or in a bike seat. I am working up to doing the 24 Hours of Booty the end of this month which is a 24 hour ride to raise funds for cancer awareness. Totally looking forward to this experience!

I have two! First is my longest ride to date this past Saturday (my bike was a whole week old!)- 12.5 miles, averaging about 12mph on generally flat terrain.
Second was today- new max speed of 24.3 on flat terrain!!! Yippee!
This biking thing is ridiculously addictive.

Yay! I am happy to see this thread is still going - and with so many awesome accomplishments. Way to go ladies!
My latest and greatest was a 50 mile ride on Sunday and I've finally gotten my average speed up over 13 MPH (I know, still slow to you roadies!). 50 miles, on a mountain bike and I still haven't even gotten my slicks - woo hoo! It was awesome, and I'm starting to wonder why I even want slicks, or a road bike for that matter. I feel a special kind of dorky cool riding long distances on my MTB, lol!Amy
Kickin' it old school on my Huffy, but hey, I RIDE!

Amy, that is great! There is nothing wrong with mountain bikes and distance!
I can do five more miles.
