Last fall, one of my biking buddies talked me into getting a cyclocross bike (gravel grinder). I've put over 3K miles in on dirt roads. That's nice because we have a good trail system that avoids roads, so I'm spending a lot less time sharing roads. On the slightly sad side, even though strava reports me near pace for 7K miles, time/effort wise it is probably more like 9-10K. The bike handling skills are really improving, as well. We've ridden dirt, mud, snow, and ice over the year.

Might be interested in doing something with you guys again.
Will follow you guys from afar. Pretty happy maintaining at this point. Not really thinking that dropping 10% in 3 months would be either doable or a great idea. It would be no fun, at best.
Do want to thank all of you. The inspiration of the bet definitely got me back on the bike, raised fitness, and inspired me to drop a chunk of extra weight. Without you guys, those things were much less likely.
