Am I a walker who cyles or a cyclist that walks?. The bike has been almost forgotten for two years, while I was walking (1,379 recorded miles last year 868 todate this year) Started recording riding mileage again at the start of July 227 todate. No doubt after I finish riding to the four corners of main land Britain in early 2012 I will be back walking again but for now I still have five challenge walks to complete this year and I hope to push the cyling upto 400 a month before December. Yes the old Khara Kum will get a thrashing.

Awesome! Congratulations. That is something I can't brag with even though I am 32. Your post motivated me to ride more as well as to keep count of the miles (just bought a bike computer so that will help)
www.cyclogs.org is a good site to record your mileage on to,
Unfit and overweight! I do feel a lot fitter as you would expect. The first ride in April was 5 miles and tough. Now it takes me 5 miles just to feel properly warmed up. I also think a lot is to do with technique. Back in the 80s I did a lot of long distance touring. After a few weeks back in the saddle the different pedalling techniques started coming back to me and made the longer rides easier.

Well done. My first 1000 was back in 2003 after a sixteen year break. Keep going and before long you'll be at the 2000 mark. On the way you might concider a cirum-navigation of Strangford.
Two of my 50+ mile trips were around Strangford - it's 55 miles starting from my house. It's a lovely ride.

That's definately a ride I'd give a go when I'm next over in Ireland.
