I'd like to join as well. Thank you!

I'm in. I'm aiming for 2 hours a week for a total of 8 hours for December. I'm shooting low and fully expect to make it.

Great idea and very inspirational!

With my neck injury I think I want to set my time lower than I would like - so if I exceed that it will be good. I think 5 hours a week is reasonable, between spinning classes and trainer time.

I'm in. I could use the extra incentives.

I'm in!

I will put an hour goal down - but I'm modeling my personal challenge after the Spinervals challenge and will check in here to remain accountable. If I meet the hourly goal, great - but my goal is to get myself more used to riding and get rid of the excuses. To that end - I am planning to ride the trainer or outside every day in December. Even if it's 2 miles or 15 minutes on the trainer. Whatever - as long as it's riding. I am giving myself 4 rest days for the month - in part to accommodate a trip that may preclude riding (since we won't be staying in a hotel with a gym probably) and in part to make sure I don't kill myself.

I am in also as I am preparing myself to ride no less than 300 days in 2012 beginning Jan. 1st. no less than 6.2 mi.

That's a cool goal! I might have to borrow that for 2012.

I'm going through some major life changes (for the best, but very scary), and I'm trying to get myself in a better place fitness wise to best prepare myself!

Oooooh, I LIKE this one I may have to consider a version of this for myself. Having a trainer makes this possible!

I'm in, although I have no way to ride inside so I'll use it to motivate me to keep up the commutes through December

6 hours a week is reasonable, that'll give me a little leeway if the weather gets really nasty....

I'm in. I just managed an hour on the trainer. I have the Krietler killer headwind version - I actually like it - got it for $20 from a cycling friend who termed it "brutal" and said it sat in his basement for years. Think it's really good for me. Out here it's very hilly/mountainous, so it's more like interval training where you push hard up the hill/mountain and then rest on the way down. The trainer is great for increasing the endurance to pedal all the time. I might come out of winter a bit stronger than going in.

My three dogs are hilarious though - the oldest (10) barks at me until I tell her to shush, so she leaves the room entirely. The other two just watch me with worried expressions.

My goal is an hour or more per day.

In! I am generally lucky enough to be able to ride on weekends, the only thing is with short amounts of daylight I have to go to spin on weeknights. I love it once I am there but it is hard not to point the car straight home. I think two hours a week is a good challenge, that would be two classes. I do have one 42 mile mountain bike race this month so that may require some lighter workouts that week.

Please count me in also, I did 2 hrs yesterday but that was still Nov.
I plan to do an hour and half after dinner
PLease send me the link also
I will commit to 5 hours a week min.

Still plan to ride outside as much as possible, the next three days are going to be nice here.

[Owlie]

Half-hour down.
