I'm considering driving down to meet you all for brekkie again!

Dear Auntie,

We would and I for one would love to see you down there, as it has been ages!

As I side note, how much booze can you fit on your trike?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Dunno but I'll be coming by car and it's an Audi A6 Estate...

Although I shouldn't have any problems reaching my target this year, the reduction from 12,000 miles (2009) to 8,000 miles (2010) to 5,000 miles (2011) has meant I've put on lots of weight. I'd like to up my target to 8,000 miles again next year but it seems like hard work at the moment!

Can tell you have dropped your target by quite a way as I am now vying for the coveted 31st position slot with you and norry1 on the cc team
Still targetting 5200 miles, going to be close, just hoping this weather stays as it is for another couple of weeks.

628 miles for me to go to beat last year's efforts. That seems possible. Commuting for the remainder of the year will take care of almost 500 of them, so I've got to fit in a marathon each week. 26 miles is a short Sunday ride. Or about an hour in Vim, assuming use of gears (as yet, hypothetical).

Not bad for a year where I've broken a leg and had a bike destroyed.

Arallsopp It took me till the start of October to beat last years total, I'm 1600miles by it now. My year wasn't quite as dramatic, I didn't finish my dissertation till mid April (all but 400miles have been done since then) and bruised ribs had me off the bike for a bit.

Ohhhhhhh.... lots of room in the back for a booze run then... hehehe

All in all quite awesome really, given that you are the one I normally am left chasing on the mileage stakes.

I think we've all had some form of accident/inncident to hamper our progress this year, but when you look at it, we are a determined bunch arent we, which given our miles really is remarkable.

Last year I finished up at just shy of 6300 miles. I will pass this years target of 7800 miles this weekend and current projections for the year end is around 8800miles. If I can do 9000, ill be over the moon.

S'funny - I've been watching our unstated competition and wondered if you were thinking the same! I also aim now for 5,200. My 200k last Saturday helped

Ha ha - I've ridden with you and potsy so I have secretly been watching your battle too and wondering if either of you would hit 5,200 miles this year representing an average of 100 miles a week!

It has been 3 or 4 years since I did a 200; I'll have to try and ride a few in 2012.

For me its all just a case of finding the nearest neat stat, and going for it.

1000 miles per year is almost 20 miles per week, so add an extra loop and claim your prize.
1500 miles per year is 125 miles per month, or over 200km if you fancy the metric.
2000 miles per year is the tiniest of shades under 8 miles for every work day. (2,016)
2500 miles per year is over 200 miles per month, and nearly 50 miles per week. (2,600)
3000 is 250 miles per month.
3500 is 50 km for every non working day. (3,511)
4000 is over 10 miles per day (but 4,015 is 11 miles per day)
4500 is over half a mile per hour, all year. (4,380)
5000 is almost 100 miles per week (5,200)
5500 is over 15 miles per day (5,475) or over 1km per hour every hour, all year (5,443)
6000 is 500 miles a month
6500 is over 200km per week (6,492)
7000 is nearly 100km for every non working day (7,021)
7500 is over 1000km per month. (7,456)
8000 is over 150 miles per week (7,800)
8500 is over 700 miles per month, but so close to 1mph all year (8,760) you'd be daft not to go for it.
9000 is 750 miles per month, 1200km per month, a point at which mind games become unnecessary.

2009 was a 1mph, every hour, all year kind of year.
2010 was a 20 mile per day kind of year.
2011 is maybe going to hit the 1000km per month...

I had to recheck who the last post was from, it seemed more like a macB post than yours.
I then remembered that he only buys and sells bikes, he doesn't actually get out and ride 'em

 

[arallsopp]

LOL!

Well, as I'm getting into the christmas spirit, here's a special version just for the big man himself.

0 miles per year is 7 bikes, 2 hub gears, a few thousand recharges, a bigger frame, remounting the rack, panniers, some new calipers, a little truing, shorter cranks, longer cranks, a crafty cigarette, double, single, drops, bar ends, triggers, pedals, and (maybe) a ride planned for next year

Ian, how did you put your mycyclelog goal into a ticker factory type sig?

Edit: S'ok. I got it

 

[StuAff]

Just went past 8.5k this morning. Should reach something over 9k for the year, Xmas pressure notwithstanding. Now a bit miffed that I could have had 10k but for that travesty of a LeJOG etc...
