"But I would cycle 5000 miles" / The CC 2014 comitment thread / Right Here, Right Now

[DCLane]

Only managed just under 4500 this year , aiming for 6000 now, though its ****ing it down atm.

And? ...

 

[Andrew_Culture]

I managed about 4500 in 2012 but only about 2500 last year. I'm going to set a target of 5000 but won't be too upset if I don't make it. I'm more looking forward to getting fit and taking my bike to more places.

And? ...

Im not even supposed to exercise or lift heavy objects for a few days according to the dentist after he yanked a molar out, something to do with blood pressure and trying to let the scab on the gums form properly.

At least i did not post piccies where you can see the jawbone at the bottom of the hole .
Hoping to start tommorow commuting if the tenderness /swelling feels better.

This is a good excuse (and opportunity) for some of you to sign up to 2014's Imperial century a month challenge.

I'm aiming for 4,000, 900 in 2011, 2,100 in 2012 and 3,100 in 2013 so its another big jump but i plan on extending my commute more this year

Am i right in assuming that those who live and mainly cycle in flat parts of Britain have an advantage in terms of miles covered over those who live in hilly parts?

 

[vernon]

I'm all for setting low targets and failing to meet them.

Tan Hill is what 70 miles? Good look with that one

I started in Reeth....

 

[Snapper88]

I have already set myself a 5000 mile target for this year. Not sure how many I did this year (lacked a decent cycle comp & could never remember to turn Strava on) now have a Gamin edge 200. I figured I only have to ride an extra 2 miles a day to & from work & one decent weekend ride

 

[ASC1951]

Same target as last year - 3650 miles and I may well miss it again. Running target 365 miles (also missed) and swimming 160 miles (achieved, yipee!)

No. It's a well known fact that cyclists in flat parts of Britain suffer more from headwinds than those in hilly parts, however I hear an age related correction factor has been introduced this year which allows eligible cyclists to apply stealth increments to their actual cycled mileages.

 

[steveindenmark]

How many did you do in 2013? And in 2012?

Me, I'm setting 7500 as my target. I did 6640 in 2012 and 6688 in 2013 so it's a jump.

48 miles different between 2013 and 2013 but 7500 in 2014. That a 812 mile difference.

I think you are suffering with early Yorkshire TDF fever.

By the way you don't need to disinfect for Yorkshire TDF Fever.

Possibly, but then I did a load of running/swimming in 2013 in preparation for two triathlons and had a mileage target of 5000. If I do any this year it'll be an early one.

Yorkshire TDF fever? There's certainly a lot more riders going up Holme Moss and on the route than before it was announced.
