My Nemesis...

[John the Monkey]

It was such a lovely day today (and I was still excited at the prospect of eating into Keith's lead) that I tacked on a little extra to the commute (only a small 3 mile loop to Winterley, but still). I'm coming for you, CycleChat leaders, 3 miles at a time...

Gosh! I hadn't realised there was an element of competition in this "team" business.
If it wasn't for people like me some of you guys would be near the bottom of the page.

PS I'm sandy on there.;-)

 

[Noodley]

...I'm sandy on there...

Yet when the light catches you I would swear there was a hint of red...and a twinkle in your eye.

I'm glad I'm keeping up the bottom of Team Cyclechat. This month should see me beat my monthly record. For a full suspension supermarket special with knobbly tyres and a partly offroad route, it's not too bad is it?

 

[Keith Oates]

Keep going surfgurl, we need all the miles we can get. We are a team not a bunch of individuals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect words Keith.

I tend to try and beat the person above me's mileage total - without a club ride, or a regular ride partner, I find it a good way to motivate myself to get out on the bike when I'm wavering slightly over whether to or not

Of course, it's harder in the Cyclechat team because the gaps are larger, hence more motivational still... I can kid myself that one day I'll catch Yorkshiregoth and Joe

I seriously caught the cycling bug bouncing around Normandy on one of those (the Gite owner is in France, home of Decathlon the cheap bike mecca, yet he imports an Apollo for guests to borrow, I ask you). To extend the City Cycling motto a bit, it doesn't matter what you ride, or how far, so long as you do...

(And it's going to be all the more satisfying for you as you start climbing the rankings )

[John the Monkey]

Wow, competitive in the mid table, innit

Keith's 50 miles ahead of me now, and 1mph faster...

It was such a lovely day today ...that I tacked on a little extra to the commute

Me too! I can only commute 1 day a week at the mo (other committments), and I really enjoy it... 17 miles, mostly along country lanes... so I tacked 10 miles or so onto it yeaterday... really good!

Yet when the light catches you I would swear there was a hint of red

The red is my tail light.....................all YOU are likely to see

 

[Baggy]

Well, I've signed up as well...
Only commuting miles at the moment but am getting back into the swing of things now.
Yesterday I even overtook someone on my commute
He was on a 3 speed post-war roadster.
