looks like it's going to be a dissappointing year

Bloody work

Cheer up, you're still breathing!

My year's been hammered by my accident in April; racing's gone and any hope of doing anything decent before early-mid 2017 at best.

A consolation might be reaching the 7500 mile target I set but I'm not sure.

Less is more ...

Since retiring last year, my rides have become shorter, but more frequent and continue through the colder months.
Just don't stop

Cheers Keith

Exactly. Visited the GP late June because of the way I felt as a consequence of the work situation (lethargy, anxiety and chest pains). Assessment showed it was stress related and that I had the cardiovascular system of a 50 yr old (and low risk of a heart attack) - I'm 55

(edit)....and it seems that I've managed the work situation through the darkness and there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Less mileage here too. No more commuting, which crops a goodly amount off my mileage, and I've taken up running (very slowly and sweatily) which further encroaches on the time.

On the plus side I now have the BP of a teenager.

But is it the BP of a healthy teenager ...?

That's just showing off DC. In a good year I hit just over 5k and that includes a week's touring. Currently running at c.1500 for the whole year which is demoralising.

I was going for 8K this year but reduced it in June. Only just approaching 2.5K so even 5k for the year is starting to look doubtful

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

I have no idea what my annual mileage is. I'm just happy to be riding most days, regardless of distance

Cheer up, you're still breathing!

Just less heavily.......

 

[numbnuts]

I've only ridden 686 miles so far this year but I have enjoyed ever one

I'm a fine one to talk really. I get grumpy when I can't do playing out!
