Lol, the web based MCL is showing 75miles to go to 13,000miles my spread sheet is saying I've passed it
Didn't make it, had a couple of bike free weeks away during the year, and missed a few days due to ice. Just a short ride today to finish the year 113 miles up on 2013, so my average for the last few years must be 4500 - 5000.To be realistic don't think I'll make the 5K, few more than last year anyway
Descending at speed and went round a corner to find a stationary car straddlng both lanes of carriageway. Going too fast to stop so went round back hitting loose gravel and coming off. Skidded along the road for a while before hitting a parked car. Broke ankle, busted ribs and back. Had 3 nights in hospital and 3 months off work. Was extremely lucky though because if I'd gone perpendicular to road I would have hit tree. Driver made off without stopping!Ouch what happened?
I've learned my lessson. I pushed it down the same hill last weekBig ouch!! This is why I don't descend at speed (and I'm lily livered)
Wondered where you had got to. Sounds a bad one. Hope you're feeling much better.Descending at speed and went round a corner to find a stationary car straddlng both lanes of carriageway.
