If it motivates you to get out on a bike then it might be fun to have a challenge.
I wouldn’t be too ridged on the 500km and adjust the goal to suit the weather and personal circumstance.
Perhaps prioritising time on bike, or riding every day - even if it’s just an hours MTB ride on local trails.
The hardest part for me is stepping outside the door in the wind and freezing rain - but once you’re out and past caring about getting wet it’s defiantly rewarding. It’s really just about having a little extra motivation to cross the threshold of the front door.
It should probably come with a health warning - it’s not worth causing friction in the household by being too focused on such a challenge!
Personally I find that I’m chasing some arbitrary annual mileage target that I usually picked around entering the last quarter of the year.
This year I landed on needing 140km per week between now and the end of the year - not feeling to hopeful!
But I consider this a stretch target and if I fall short, but gave it my best shot then I’m happy.
