2017 Mileage so far?

[Dogtrousers]

The CC monthly challenges are great for upping your millage.

They really are.

It's too late to join the Imperial Century one, I think that's quite a strict Jan-Dec challenge (but I could be wrong) but you can join the Metric one at any time of the year as long as you are committed to a metric century a month. (Miss a month, though and you're out til next Jan).

As of today, 303 miles.

For those of us with long term injury, then Zwift and similar programmes are a fitness builder. It's also good if time restricted.

They are bloody hard work.

I my used to commute 25 to 40 miles a day and never roughed a turbo. But since a kind driver broke my spine it's been my main cycling. I've managed to start ramping up the training in the garage to try and get fit again in a safe environment as my back still feels like glass

875 miles up to the 29th Jan.

 

[Tin Pot]

(You might want to bar a couple of folk before they post their 1,500-2,000kms)

I've done just over 17hrs hard work in the turbo trainer in Jan, missed one hour last week.

I've only been outside for one 50km ride, and one 25km ride.

I tell a lie.

10675m swimming

104km running

A sad 273 miles....... 573 this time last year. Still struggling with sciatica that took me off the bike in November. Still...... Smiles not miles this year is the new motto. Roll on the Spring :-)

 

[MrGrumpy]

340 miles by bike and 8 miles running Quite time starved these days so only commuting 2-3 times a week by bike, so took up running to try and keep the endorphin's topped up calories under control !

 

[tyred]

Not very much I'm sorry to say. Maybe about a hundred miles over the first few days of the new year, then I took a seemingly never ending cold and did very little apart from maybe go to the shop before doing perhaps 120 miles over the few days I was in Cork with my Brompton.

I've now started a new job this week and just feel so drained each day after the training which is still taking place I don't really have the mental capacity to cycle! Cycle commuting isn't really practical either but if the job works out I intend to move closer to work.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

20: 2 x 10 mile rides.

Trust me - this was a big achievement. Been ill since July and have not been able to ride until this week.

Was averaging 200miles/month prior in 25-35 mile chunks.

Been advised by GP just to take it slow and steady and build up gradually.

Slow and steady is easy for me - I have dropped 40 secs/mile.

Hey-ho: isn't life fun as you get older (60).

607 miles - my best January ever, in fact. Much of that's been down to the weather, which has been mild - there was only one day I came home from work the direct route due to the risk of ice on the back lanes. Though I have lost count of the number of times I've got back home soaking wet with the Met Office telling me that the risk of rain was less than 5%....

894 miles. My lowest January total for 5 years. Mainly due to crap weather.

Show off!

On the plus side, we've both done far more miles than @martint235.

Hope to see you on some FNR's this year Wobble.

 

[tallliman]

360ish miles....my best January to date so nicely ahead of last year's total of 300 miles.

 

[jonny jeez]

I'm not permitted to cycle outside currently

when *does* the restriction order expire?

 

[vickster]

when *does* the restriction order expire?

When I feel able. I reckon it could be Easter though due to upcoming work travel!

Steroid injection into shoulder on Monday will hopefully relieve pain and stiffness

I'm aiming for 100 miles per week. Managed 425 miles in January (with about 35,000ft of climbing) which I was well pleased with as I was away for about 10 days with no cycling and there were a few days with snow and ice when I couldn't get out

I'm trying a winter strategy of more shorter rides. I'm enjoying it. Hilly rides over 50 miles I really start to feel the fatigue but 2 x 25 miles seems more enjoyable. I'll slot in some longer rides as Spring arrives
