I was supposed to put in some extra training miles last night but my legs just weren't up for it.

See how it goes this evening.

Don't worry. The old fella's knees will give out sooner or later and then we'll all have a chance

if you keep rocking +150's every week you'll be up there really very quickly

This is day 20 of 365.

Three hundred and forty five to go.

How's the tooth or hole as it now is?

The hole's doing ok.

At this rate we'll all have dodgy knees before summer.

Puncture hell in t-500 miles and counting [/german baddie over the tannoy voice]

First miles of the year today, fresh from 4 days of unbelievable (in a good way) snowboarding in France - altitude training didn't seem to count for much in the saddle, then again it was a 10 mph headwind, 3 degrees and slashing down with rain so I was never going to set a record! In typical style the expected tailwind for the ride home has now disappeared.

Because there's something seriously wrong with me upstairs I'm actually considering going tubeless as well ...........

TheStone

Is it just me, or does it seem way more competitive this year.
Got held up by the snow (as I'm guessing everyone did), but otherwise been really
going for it ... and not even close to top 20 !!!

... can everyone slow down a bit ??

Decided to join in this year. Spelt my name wrong but ohh well :P. Averaged just under 30mi/d so far this week, but going out of town tomorrow so no cycling unless i get back reasonably early.

Are we sure roller miles can't go in? No? Oh.

itboffin

Just gotten home after my half rest day commuting, wow that's made a serious different to my energy levels, I can't wait for tomorrow, might even extend the morning run :twisted:

But why is my village the only place in the area with thick snow??? :evil:

Don't worry there are no fallacious entries in my stats. I'd be quite a number of places higher if they were. Boo

I've knock out a couple of hundred miles on the turbo this year and I think i've broken it, makes a hell of a noise when getting a wiggle on, at first I spent a lot of time getting off and inspecting my bike, bloody horrid things.

gonna get a rowing machine instead

I walked 6 miles today as well, very pleased with that.

As a 'park and ride' commuter can I count the driving section with the bike in the boot?

Sorted that. Do you want a couple of hundred miles adding in as well?

As if...

We could include the miles driving home from a Sportiv at the other end of the country as welll, or coming back down the M1 from the in-laws with the bike on the rack.

Or just nearly doing miles, as in 'I would have cycled in today if it hadn't been cold & windy. That's another 41 then'.

<as if/>

Please adjust my July 2009 figures by 2200 miles as I nearly watched all of the Tour de France.

Can I include the transfer days?

I like it

if you do get a concept 2 anything else will break, awesome exercise

hate rowing machines, the techinique needs quite a lot of concentration to do it right, as does the breathing, but I always end up going out of sync and feeling like I would blow up!

That can only be described as 13 miles of snow & ice terror followed by 7 miles of torture to catch the train.  Thick blanket of snow everywhere apart from the roads which were completely covered with black ice, I stopped to take a photo but the bike couldn't stand up, when I got to the station everything including me was covered in a thick film of ice, 3mm thick FFS!

I need a medal

Blurry pics of icicles formed along my brake cables


this pics shows how thick the ice film was

17.5miles of tailwind bliss to belfast this morning, lovely and dry.
Giving heavy winds and gales for home time though.
I have a lift arranged but after entering this stats table I am properly encouraged to battle the elements just to add on 18-20 miles on top to bring me up a little!

This is probably going to be the death of me.

The concept2 feels quite realistic, probably for those reasons.

I just can't be bothered tonight, this morning commute was so shite I'm half tempted to just head for the nearest country pub, although the "locals" are not acustom to men in tights and little caps.

"what do you mean you don't know what mai tai is?" "what are you a savage!?" "fine I'll have a g&t ice and a slice"

strangly in my four years out here in Windshire I haven't really bonded with the natives.

Early this afternoon on my way in, I was nothing. Could barely turn the pedals, the slightest hill had me barely moving and nearly blacking out.

This evening, coming home, I was a CYCLING GOD. So I added an extra 5 miles on.

Then I ran out of energy, because before Saturday I'd had pretty much 2 months off the bike.

Damn you!

I saw a few riders out tonight while I was sat in the traffic in my car.

Although I was very happy to see the polis pulling people over for drivng down the bus lane, I was laughing my ass off when I went past. twunt.
