caused by cycling?

[interesting aside: while I was on track for leading the challenge for this month but with stiff competition, I was committed to cycling. Now that is way out of my grasp, yesterday I left the cycle at home - one of the few times in the last couple of years - and took public transport. For no reason, I just couldn't be bothered. In fact, it's probably the first time since January last year I haven't cycled at least part way unless I had a very good reason. ]

It's a slippery slope, next you will get used to not taking it and then you'll never take it..... only kidding, some time off the bike is actually usually a good thing.

I am loving Endomondo but my main use is that my partner knows where I am when out riding, something I really appreciate when night riding on the moors. The challenges are an interesting diversion, I am also on the singletrack ones but being beaten solidly on both of them.

I was having a look at my mileage for last year and January was a high mileage month then as well, no idea what it is about January. February was pretty rubbish so hoping that doesn't happen this year as one of the main reasons for all the hours on the bike is I have a 24hour race in April.

Jefmcg, are you saying the Endomondo Challenge de-motivated you?

David K, what are they doing about the Tennis elbow? Sometime a Chriropractor can help with TE

I challenged a friend in Australia for a month. When I was out cycling one Sunday, while she was at home with the computer - it would have been late Sunday evening for her - I heard an angry sounding robotic voice from my phone: "Message from Pam: stop cycling" and later "Message from Pam: I mean it. Go read a book or something"

That feature is called "Pep talk", It works!

LOCO - yep, briefly demotivated me, but I'm still excited to see what my monthly total will be!

A bit premature, don't you think, announcing last months winner when there was still more than 7 hours left of January? Maybe andrew or I would have pulled an extra 500km this afternoon, and beaten Trio?

It was a risk I was willing to take.

~Darn wont bother uploading my lejog from yesterday if it means I am not going to get first place! Nice move on the final straight jefmcg, I had meetings today and yesterday knew it would cost me :-) Cracking miles though 600 this a record for a calendar month for me. When I found out I wouldn't be cycling I took the long way home on Monday just to make sure I crept over the 600!

Well done everyone!
