Crossed the 10,000 mile mark today

[kevin_cambs_uk]

My cycle computer can't display beyond 9999 so its back to zero !

I was well annoyed, do they think no one will ever cycle that much or that it won't last that long !

Anyway my mate at work said thats enough miles to cycle to the south pole something, and after this week it has felt like it was the south pole !

have a great weekend folks !

I'm at 4300ish for the year, trying to crack the 5000.

Woo-Hoo, 10k, well done. How long has that taken you? You could put a "1" sticker on the left of your computer. It'd make you feel a lot better!
I started cycling to work in March and I'm just coming up to 4,000.

Well done Kev, That's a great achievement.
I was meant to pass the 10,000 mile year target on Tuesday but the weather put the kaibosh on that.

I am going to post my stats for the year, on the 1st of Jan which will be interesting, so miles done, journeys made by bike/car, costs incurred and saved, weather stats etc, tried to record as much as I could but got better as the year went really, some interesting stats

That's a great achievement, Kev. I reckon you should get a CC trophy mug or something!

Well done Kev, I've just passed 5400 miles for this year

Great effort. I'm just coming up on 3000 since the beginning of May. Not sure I'll make it if we have any more bad weather.

Well done. A massive effort.

I am aiming for a 2000 mile mark but the cold weather means I am 200 miles short. Hoping for a thaw soon and then some concentrated effort over Christmas. I can't ever see me doing 10k in a year. Maybe 4k-5k as my average is around 100 miles per week.

Time can be the limiting factor, I've been averaging 4-5000 miles a year for may many years and I spend a lot of time on the bike, if I tried to do more mileage it would start to cause problems with other parts of my life, I run 18-22 mph as a max speed and average around 15mph.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice !!

If i manage 4000 miles a year just commuting to and from work i am lucky , what with shifts+overtime etc i try to spend the weekends cathing up with jobs around the home and doing dad stuff

Nice one Kevin; its took me 3 half year to rack up the same mileage on my commuter.
