Well done GrasB, that's an excellent mileage, but can you please slow down a bit?

I'm just back from my last ride of the year... and I wish I hadn't bothered. A whole 20km, including a slide along the road , resulting in lovely road rash on my elbow, hip, knee and ankle, and a dent in my helmet.

Just by chance I discovered my annual mileage this year is 9 less than last year so feel I'll have to go out for a runaround a local loop this afternoon in order to get another 10 miles in.

Erm.. NO . I ride to a time rather than a mileage, I ride slower I simply do less miles.

Sorry to hear this, not a good way to end the year,

Go for it I'm 3700miles behind last years :-( I don' think I've got time in the 9 hours to make that up.

There was a great cartoon a few years ago in the Comic: mum and daughter looking out of the kitchen window, calendar on the wall showing December 31. Outside, dad is wheeling his bike out of the shed in deep snow. Mum explains to daughter, "Daddy needs to do 158 miles today to beat last year's total".

My last outing of the year doing 35 miles on the new steed again. Sadly Im just short of my target, however not that annoyed as the last two or three months have been right offs mileage wise due to injury then the bloomin snow!

On a positive note the BV forumites can have it this year as I'm content with the Ashes being brought home once more even better beating them in their own back yard!



Happy new year (all jokes aside) let's see if we can trump them in the mileage in 2011 - well done BV Forum!

Hope the MCL system can do the 2011 reset to zero at the right times for the 2 teams!

Both the CC mileage total and my waistline could do with not having the best part of 2 months cycling cancelled by the weather in '11 !!

Just added my last ride of the year, another 56 miles.

Shame we couldn't keep up with the BV forum this year. We're just going to have to try harder in 2011

We'll need to build up a good lead during the summer months if we're to make it.

Todays ride took me to 3601 miles for the year (1000 more than last year), which I'm quite pleased with considering the tricky start I had to year and didn't really get going till March.

My target has been set for 2011 at 5000 miles which is just under 100 miles a week. As long as I stay injury free and the snow stays away, it should be do-able.

Happy New Year to everyone.

I know just how he felt .
A run to the shops this morning and 10.6 miles this afternoon in pleasant conditions took me up to last years total mileage +2, so now I can relax until midnight when the January target will be looming large.

PS I hope you get over the "off" quickly eck.

 

[lukesdad]

Yes well done GrasB that is an impressive Av. speed for that mileage.

Hope you heal well and quickly.

gws eck.
Thats me finished for 2010. 10005miles, i haven't set a target for 2011 yet, i just aim to ride as many miles as possible. Hope we can beat the aussies next year and have fun at the same time.

to all have a great night and all the best for 2011

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Happy New Year all!

As I said several times, the MCL result between our 2 teams was so close we might as well call it a draw, and I think we're all winners anyway.

Cheers,
