Zero miles in January.

[Mrs M]

I had a “wee toddle” in January on the mountain bike.

I rode Alp d"Huez yesterday, from the comfort of my garage.

My January milage was low, because my commute is shorter nowadays.
Haven't missed a day, though, I work 6 days to boot
Won't stop even now that I've got my free bus pass.
There are no direct buses to my work anyway

It's obviously a tough job being a moderator.

Commuting in six days a week, maintaining law and order from CC Towers and then cycling home.

I haven't been keeping an accurate tally but I'd say I've done just over 200 miles, the longest ride around 35 miles. All singlespeed, apart from the leisurely 12 miles I did on the Brompton on new year's day.

I started the year with a lingering dose of 'flu then had a week of ice and snow.

I have struggled for motivation ever since getting t-boned at a junction. My ankle still causes me some problems and I'm far more aware of traffic and have never got my confidence back. I do enjoy it when I go out but can easily put it of or procrastinate for all sorts of non-reasons which is not what I used to be like.

I'm sorry to hear that one of your pleasures has been tarnished; I hope your ankle and confidence keep improving. That way we all get to see your great photos of NI

Some say that doesn’t count. Bet your legs said otherwise 😎

November and December were bad for me. 4 rides (two return commutes) in November before Covid hit, then not fit enough until just before new year with one ride of an hour and a half.

January has been 250 miles, 25 rides (12 return commutes and a single 10 miler road ride testing shoes). 22 hours total and, actually my best January for some time.

Yes it was a bit hard going, but 13 minutes quicker than the last time I rode it in 2016, it counts to me, who are these some ?

I haven't ridden at all since mid October. Initially due to (non-Covid) illness, but now I seem to have a mental block. Many times in recent weeks I've been enthusiastically planning in the evening but the doubts and excuses have set in again come the morning.

My bike is ready and waiting. I hope I'm not too far over the weight limit...

 

[Panscrank]

There rides totalling fifty miles.
My usual average ride distance is about 20 miles or so on the hybrid, so am ok with that as usually only get to go out at the weekend.
Planning a short fifteen mile jaunt down to Mumbles Pier and back tomorrow.

I got 488km ridden in January. I was aiming for 500km but this has been the wettest January on record in Denmark. When the sun got out, so did I.

I’ve not been out this year yet either, not just because of the weather but because of the poor state of the roads. I’d hate to hit one of the many potholes round here then have to have to rely on the NHS. I have however been getting quite a few virtual miles in on my Wattbike.

I'll be happy to be cycling by the end of June!

 

[johnnyb47]

No cycling for me either throughout January. Really must get back into it ,as I'm starting to put the weight back on and my usual positive outlook on life is not as good as it was. This week has been nice and dry and relatively mild and have promised myself to get out on the bike this weekend

OP..... I've been the same - No miles, but the same hip pain and lower back. We (Wife, Daughter & I) had covid 2nd January - have you also had it but not known/tested? 4 people from the Pilates group my Wife attends have also had the same lower back and hip pain with covid. Strangely all females have had it RHS, mine is on LHS - Male/Female covid specific? I have little sustainable energy - may be ok one day but the next is a dip again.
