He's getting the Byercycles Aravis Supertourist:

He'll probably get a dynohub on the front as well.

looks nice, everything that one would need... and it's blue too...

They do it in deep red too but he thinks blue is more manly B)

 

[ianrauk]

nothing looks good in red

(apart from your Trice of course)

.. And pillar boxes.

On the topic of trikes, Ian, slight change of plan. Evey possibly booked out next year so won't be riding... Early days yet.

I'm thinking of organising my miles a bit in December so that I pass the magic 12,000 for the year on Sig's Birthday Ride (Tue 29 Dec, thread here: http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=987489#post987489 ) so that you can all celebrate with me when I do it. Celebrate with a cup of tea, of course. Hope our fellow Cyclogsers are all planning to come along on this ride after Christmas to work off the turkey/cake.

I'll be there. I see Helen, Ian and myself are all pretty close on the mileage after today's ride's.

Cyclogs Webmaster seems back on the case.

I sent him this message:
"Hi Cyclogs Webmaster.

I got the Yellow Jersey for September, despite being a very slow cyclist and a girl even, but it's still not showing on the records page. I'd love you to update that so I get my moment of glory!

Helen
(Auntie_Helen)"

And just got this reply...

"Hi Helen

Well done! The records page is supposed to update automatically - I'll look into it - don't want to spoil your glory!"

 

[GrasB]

Nice result there (I really want a thumbs up but there's no smilie for that here )

 

[Auntie Helen]

It's now fixed.

Redflightuk has the yellow jersey currently for his impressive September mileage!

 

[aran20]

Ohhh that Thomas Thailand does some miles!! Shame he won't swap teams.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Well that's torn it! Yesterday I spent all day on my deathbed with a weird lurgi thing (got a bit bored of Radio 4 by the end of the day but only managed 10 minutes in front of James May's Toy Stories downstairs before I had to drag myself up to bed again).

So no outing on the bike at all yesterday. My 100% days riding for the year has fallen.

I am also now behind on getting my 12,000 for the year and am not sure I'm gonna manage it It's too hard in the cold, wintry days to do 33 miles a day for no reason other than cycling.

 

[Keith Oates]

I'm sorry to hear that AH, on two fronts. Firstly that you were feeling so unwell that you couldn't get out, I hope that soon passes and secondly because I was also really looking forward to you getting the 100%. Never mind there will be another time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Not sure I'll want to try it again... too much like hard work! My husband's not so keen either. I may not go out today as I'm still a bit dodgy. Once the challenge fails it can be hard to enthuse oneself to keep going; but perhaps I shall perk up a bit when I'm feeling more normal. All I ate yesterday was a chocolate digestive and a banana...

 

[redflightuk]

Sorry to hear that AH. You get yourself better quickly.

It's too hard in the cold, wintry days to do 33 miles a day for no reason other than cycling.

I know what you mean about the wintry days. When i saw the rain this morning i went back inside for another cuppa and took the short route to the stables and then onto work

get well soon
