Yearly Targets for 2018

[Cuchilo]

not had a plan but @User9609 's post got me thinking so i checked my mileage and ive made it from London to Nova scotia so far . Maybe New York state by the end of the year ? doesnt look far on the map but its probably about 6000 miles

Apparently I've ridden to Kuching in Malaysia, with 6,919 miles done. Target is 7,300 so not far to go, and would mean 20 miles a day on average. The other target is to get my imperial Eddington up to 50 which needs 5 more rides of 50 miles to achieve, 3 of which will be done with the monthly challenge rides. Just need to find time for the other 2

Tell us more about the Tuscany road ride.

Give me a day or 2 Ian I wii write something down. it was a great ride. Hot, tough, long. But great. I am planning on taking

the Brompton next year

I completed 1300 miles last year in my first year back on a bike for 15 years and after serious illness put me in hospital for 3 months This year I targeted 2500 miles to push myself a little further and to date I'm at ~2330 so I'm well on course to achieve and potentially exceed it by a few hundred. Next year I'll probably target 3 or 3.5k

I definitely count turbo miles, in my experience they're tougher than real world miles, and less fun

Beal Lane / Grains Road - https://www.strava.com/segments/2200579
Buckstones Road (this should be reasonably straightforward but my mate reckons it's worse than Ogden) - https://www.strava.com/segments/646910

Full disclosure - these 2 are about a mile away from home so I've avoided them because I can't get a proper warmup in pre-climb unless I set off in "the wrong direction"

Both look 'easily' doable & i'm from the flatlands of East Yorkshire, don't worry about a fast time, just crack on & tackle them

Agree with that, much less fun that out on the road & tougher, no downhill sections to free wheel

18 times up Everest & you try to avoid hills

18 times up Everest & you try to avoid hills

Well, he didn't entirely succeed given that one of his rides had over 6,500 ft of climbing (almost 2,000 metres)!

Having said that, I average 2,000 metres of climbing per 100 kms on local roads...

Cheeky buggers, I've done 5 rides this year with over 6,000 feet of climbing

Just Grains Road to tackle now, need to do it before the winter wheels (with a slightly less forgiving cassette) go on! Felt pretty strong last weekend so need to strike whilst the iron is relatively hot...

Just 3 miles to go, would be some achievement if I can make it

 

[derrick]

680 miles to reach my 7000 mile target.should be okay as long as the weather holds out.

 

[ianrauk]

I have 1293 miles to go to reach my yearly 10,000 mile target. It's going to be touch and go, a close call methinks.
I have reached the target every year since 2009 so hoping I can continue that amount.

I hit 3500 on my commute today. I'll try to get a few more in before end of year weather permitting (and after 3 week upcoming holiday)
