    Oh dear god NO! imagine my horror when I added up my miles only to find I was 10 ml short WTD :shock:

    Just forced out a last 10, that was hard work, note to self DO NOT ride MTB during the working day, they knacker you and you don't get very far.

    TMI WARNING!!!!

    Look away now, stop what you're eating! - my undercarriage is starting to look like chopped liver and is generating it's own heat :roll:

    Ouch!

    Do you actually have to do any work?

    too frosty again this morning. last week's good work being rapidly undone. off to leeds on Friday too, so my only chance is tomorrow and thurs this week - am going to have to get out at the weekend, not least as my colleague who is on there is currently on a training camp in Majorca, racking up about 80 miles a day.

    Yes when most of you are tucked up in bed or in the case of CP just rolling in from some place dark :P

    CIB should we remove the people with no miles?

    they've 'registered' and can do so again if they actually have miles to enter, it reduces the groups average, it's untidy etc

    Sorry Joycie :lol:

    It's quite impressive that there are 95 people on there who have update in the past week.

    Maybe CiB could introduce a change to calcualtion that ignores totals equal to zero when working out the avergae mileage.

    nah I reckon boot them off after a month passes between registering and not posting miles. "Late charge" or not...

    No! It's only these guys that are keeping me above "average" mileage and median rank in the table. If we drop them out then I'm bailing... it's just too embarrassing to be such a lightweight in public... :oops:

    3 days off the booze and still reasonably calm yet no noticable change in cycle performance, i think greg66 has already proved abstinence is a total waste of time.

    If greg66 has already put himself through torment and has proved the point, why do it to yourself - get the beers in ITB, you know it makes sense :D

    Yeah but then your name will stay on the SCS league till the end of the year - and I'm going to ask chris to make sure it turns to pink with the legend "embarrassing lightweight" flashing in bright red next to it.

    so keep at it!!

    I know, I know.. it's not the pain, though, nor even the energy, health or weather... I just don't have enough hours in the day... Work, family and community commitments all take slices of my time. It's all just excuses, of course :-(, but the only way I can see to increase my miles is to increase my speed!!

    My saddle stem broke this morning - a bit embarrassing too as a white van had just cut me up despite me signalling clearly for some time before that I intended to turn right ahead NOT left.

    so as I was calling the driver a jolly old rotter for what he did I suddenly found myself going backwards and then down onto my rack :shock: :?

    They drove off - probably laughing their effing heads off. :oops:

    Sounds like you're going down CP, but not far enough for me to get excited about :)

    You could always think about doing over time on the bike to make up for it.
