looks like it's going to be a dissappointing year

3500 is an odd figure, surely 3660 (10 miles a day in a leap yr) is a more sensible target....

True that would be a nice round figure. I'll probably make it the 2017 target.

2017 isn't a leap year!

That would be my woeful Grade 5 CSE in maths (1984) coming back to haunt me.

I've cut back on my miles on advice to try and get faster I don't think it's worked I'm not much faster :-/

His maths is terrible, but so is your English Lit - that was from Orwell's Animal Farm not 1984!

When you achieve way beyond your expectations one year you'll feel the need to achieve even more the following year. If you don't you'll be disappointed. If you under achieve this year next year you'll have an easier target.

It must be stunning to ride on Stornoway.

It is

Not many routes if all you have time for is a quick ride from home - but the scenery and quiet roads more than make up for that. Short days and winter weather can get you down tho'

I got a good BSc in Electronic Engineering and followed that up with a Doctorate in Under-achievement ...

350 miles since late November 15. At least I am walking and slowly back to cycling as the pain gets better. Long rides are not going to be possible with my back until I adjust to it's new 'shape'.

Normally, I'd cover 350 miles in just over 2 weeks.

At least you are still getting out on your bike.

ok, ok, a really fat teenage who smokes Camels, but a teenager nonetheless.

Does the RSPCA know you smoke camels .

You could advertise them as Oak Smoked Camels.

Glad your getting your work stress under control.

still some summer/autumn riding to be had .

Don't fret about mileage just enjoy the rides you do.

Bloody work

You have 2 options.
1. New job with less hours.
2. Stop recording mileage and enjoy what you are able to do.
