    Yay 4th! Another 5 miles and I'm third.best persuade the kids to go for a ride to the park.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    :shock: Looks like you'll beat me this year then :lol:

    Are you mental?

    Quite possibly :mrgreen: but it will save the pennies instead of using the train, might be spending more though on new chains and cassettes around every month though :oops:
    Sorry its not me it's the bike ;o)

    I would be very surprised if you can keep that up for more than a few weeks.

    There is a reason pro cyclists can do those kind of miles, because they have the support around them to do so, nutrition, sleep, massages, and most importantly, they don't have 9-5 jobs that get in the way!!

    Anyone having problems accessing the "Stats" site?

    I sneaked into a career high of 50th place last night.

    Looks like the rest of the year will be characterised by a relentless slide down the rankings

    Seems to be a monthly updater, may include all miles since their last update - I wouldn't be surprised, as there was no update in their miles in December.

    Okgo - At least update once a week ;) You're giving me false hope!
  • Daily posts make it more fun, especially if you're surrounded by people who do similar milage.

    Some of us have work to do, or dare I say, cycling.

    I'm in for 2013, I need all the incentives I can get to keep to my rather over ambitious new year resolutions :)

    I don't update strava everyday, the commutes are annoying, so I do it at the weekend usually when it backdates them so doesn't clog everyones feed up. I don't want to see that x person did 7 miles from wandsworth to soho, and I'm sure people don't want to see mine either :D

    You've got that wrong! The whole point is the irrelevant weekly minutiae. For example, if those gits known as Mr Ridley and be_green_recycle hadn't updated today I would have still been in 6th place and not cursing my laziness in not doing a longer commute this morning. :lol:

    But weekly isn't so bad. It's the monthly crowd that need to be kicked off - that's just antisocial!

    Seeing a 51 next to my name isn't good but should improve when I update on Sunday evening.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    63rd out of 65 at the moment. I'm going to start very slowly and build on it a bit. I'm only riding 2 days a week at the moment as I try to get my knee working again. After 3 months off it feels like hard work.

    Daily? That's just lazy! I update after each ride.

    And Pangolin smashes back into the top 15 with a 140 mile January Audax. Hello, and all too soon goodbye, top end of the table.

    Chris, can you please delete me from the stats board; 3 years of chasing the stats is enough!

    Well, all of us in the top 14 are down a place today thanks to Okgo whose dedication to cycling silly miles is directly proportionate to his online laziness!

    310 miles is not a commute OK! :evil: :lol:

    Yes - please don't do it. It's bad enough being the person on the board with the biggest gap to the next rider (gpsahne) - 182 miles - without adding another 20 to make it 200 :lol:

    Besides - you could cut all your extended commutes and you'd still be ahead of me so unless you start going to work by bus, there's no point quitting!

    Can do - I'll hide your stats rather than delete them, unless you really do mean it. I know what you mean; I haven't troubled them yet this year and don't miss it one jot so far. It's quite liberating.
