    I see you're located in NI as well

    Where's your commute?

    Belfast to Drumaness.
    My long route home at the minute is through comber on the comber greenway out of town and backroads all the way home. Stretched it over to just outside Killyleagh tonight and in through crossgar.

    Ace ride!

    Sometimes would do the lisburn side out of town and over Slieve Croob but it can wait for longer evenings and my geared bike making a return :wink:


    Where abouts is yours?

    The full journey is Portrush to Derry (60 mile round trip) which is way too far for me, especially to be in work for 8am.

    Currently ditching the car in Ballykelly (15.5 miles round trip) and riding in, not too bad but the 60 mptraffic can be a bit daunting

    When the clocks change and I have some light, I intend to park in Limavady (24 mile round trip)

    The (wild) ambition is to do the full commute at least a couple of days a week in the summer.

    No other options? Through Eglinton from greysteel?
    I prefer the longer off the main road routes for the simple reason that they are more interesting, especially in the nice weather. Dont know if i'd fancy an A road every morning.

    You seem to be zero miles to me :? Ditto Blue3cat, Cannyjock and Norky even though they appear in the list. Position list doesn't exactly correlate with mileage list.....

    CiB - I'm missing from the final stats for 2009 - I even submitted times in late December :cry::D
    Some people are just updating their miles without adding individual trips. Look at the YTD column, not the Jan column.

    If you're not in the final 2009 list I'll have a squint at it tonight and PM you with the reason.

    We did agree at the start that January was just the Grand Depart,the neutralized roll out?

    Didn't we?

    There yer go. 35th, which is fine by me as I finished 19th. Not much chance of being that high this year if I don't get my finger out.

    Thanks for that :D . Aiming to at least double last years mileage this year so I hope a top 20 will be possible. That would of course mean kicking you off the teens even if you equal last year :lol:

    My knees tell me I'm trying plenty hard enough,...but they really don't like the cold. :cry:

    I think I'll content myself with ticking over in the 11 to 14 positions until weather gets warmer - then I'll step my game up a bit.

    A nice 26 miles last night after work.

    Regarding the stats, when I click on my name I can't see my ride history which used to be visible - should it still be showing when I click on my name link?

    Benno - it should be, and everyone else's is ok. Dunno what you've done there. I'll investigate tonight and see what gives.

    Cheers CiB - I've clicked on a couple of the others and there's are displaying correctly. Hope I haven't broken mine :?

    My total is showing ok though.
