TdF vs Me

[Deleted member 35268]

Just to put my own cycling into context, the Tour De France is 2,277 miles in three weeks, and it has taken me 6 months to notch up 2,500 miles.

How annoying.

Must be nice to live somewhere flat.....
I've racked up 112,297 in less than 1500 miles...

I have to ride for an hour to find any worth doing. It's not all flat and it is not as if I live in Norfolk.

6 - 8 weeks for me to do the distance at a guess, probably all year to do the elevation

 

[Deleted member 35268]

Oh well, I cycle whenever I can, pretty much everyday, 100+ miles a week.
I can do no more.

Their welcome to work with me lifting steel car sub assemblies first and then see how much riding they want to do

Steel.. bloody lightweight, when I were a lad they were made out of Lead and Uranium. Proper heavy, and we had to lift 2 at a time, one in each hand for 25 hours a day........

I've done just over 2000 miles this year; half in a 2-week tour so it's just a question of having the time to put the miles in. and not have to go to b===dy work each day.

37500ft climbing on the tour - about 370ft/mile. At home in Suffolk its usually 20ft/mile.....

Like last year I set myself a challenge to complete the distance in the months of June/July but with only half the elevation gain and hopefully none of the crashes/retirements.
