    Not necessarily - I cough blood from time to time. Doctor has never seemed particularly concerned - just one of the symptoms of having bad sinus problems.

    With all the sh!t I have been through this year with breathign problems it's a wonder I haven't coughed up a lung let alone a bit of blood, I might go out for a bit of serious hill climbing tonight to rack up a bit of mileage, damn the stats page...

    I managed 30 miles on a training ride this morning. This week should see me careering down the table.
    FCN 2-4.

    Hurrah, have joined the 1000 mile club, plus it's a good few weeks earlier than last years comparable mileage. Currently 59th which I imagine will be the number of places I drop as I will be away until early May. Only 5k to my 2010 target.

    With the miles put in at the weekend I've broken 50% of last years mileage :D
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Variation of carbon trading I expect, where non-existent miles are traded for vast sums of cash in the vague expectation of them being completed at some unspecified future date. I sense a business opportunity here...

    Anyway. Jeez it was cold this morning. Brrrr..

    Did my longest ever commute home last night, 60Km :)

    During this ride my single speed bike went over the 1000km mark :)

    And I successfully launched my first snot rockets :) :oops:

    Up to 60th in the table :)

    Will break through 1000 miles YTD this evening :)

    What a day :D

    I have really terrible news.... At the end of April I have a work enforced 5 days in London how am I meant to keep my mileage up?!?

    Ps not all bad as 6 out if the 12 attendees are keen cyclists, I suspect it will have to be laps of some park or another :(

    Are you talking about the working week or the 7 day week :?:

    I have another 50 miles commuting this week.

    p.s. I am aiming for a 670 miles this month. Does that information help you :lol: :twisted:

    Unfortunately, it's a bad month for me.
    Stag in France next weekend.
    Easter where I could only cycle less than 40 miles.
    May's not much better with 2 weddings abroad and some familly visiting.

    Anyway, on the plus side: 30 commuting miles
    At least 50 on Sunday... GF's away, but I don't want to risk the burnout, I'm raising the mileage slowly (and want to do some hills, considering how crap I am at them)

    - Becoming a recluse - check, I don't see my friends during the week because I cycle to work, I don't see them at the weekend because I cycle for pleasure.

    - Cycle to France - in due time, it's planned for September :)

    Bloody chain snapped a mile from home this afternoon.

    I am getting a tourer on CTW (Dawes Horizon) and had been hoping that my current bike would hold out a couple more weeks. I had been planning to change my chain too.

    Winter has been hard on it.

    Hmmm. Reduced commute today, only 6½ miles. That's not enough to close the gap to 45th, the similar reduced commute back this evening might have to be extended. Oxford's a handy distance away I see. :wink:

    Finally done 1000 miles for the year, and (no doubt briefly) into the top 60 for the first time, result.

    Just need to work on my tan a bit now, I had my Hi-viz legs out last night, I looked like a fat corpse on a bike, ver Gunter Von Haagens.
