....and considering the less than ideal weather quite happy with 636 miles (just over two thirds on fixed) pedalled. A lot more than the PTW has been allowed out in the ice and salt and rain!

    I was feeling great about my 500 mile January which is my best month ever by some distance (and it was January!!).

    Now I'm gonna have to try harder in Feb :wink::wink:

    Anyone who can do a 1000km ride has my respect :wink:
    It doesn't get any easier, but I don't appear to be getting any faster.

    I got my bike and began cycling on New Years Day and I managed 90 miles in January.
    Seems miserly in comparison!
    I'm aiming to increase each month as my legs get a bit stronger, starting with 26 miles tomorrow.
    :D

    It's now 8 months since I last rode a road bike. Still plodding around on my hybrid. Am determined to get gouing again in Feb

    Two thirds of my miles were "plodding around" on a fixed Tricross Single with tractor tyres and the rest on a "roadified" '90s Saracen Kili Comp with 26x1.9s - it's the effort, not the bike!

    Did around 300 miles this month, not too bad as I had 2 weeks off at the start with a nasty cold/chest infection. It included a metric century, so not bad at all really.

    According to my records I've bagged 1311km so far this year, makes a change from last year when an ice related broken ankle put me out of action for 6 weeks.

    Come to think of it i made a few trips to the shops/pub and did a few laps round the velodrome, so lets call it 1400km for the month.

    A meager 130 miles, 62 of which were bagged on the MTB. Crap but still up on last January. :oops:

    450 miles for me this January (including a quick 3 mile round trip to Sainsbury just now!): 395 on my road bike; 55 on my hybrid. Was definitely a harsh, cold start to the month.

    I got 550miles in so I'm chuffed with that, an improvement on last Jan to the tune of 140miles. Thing is I don't feel like I'm getting any fitter.

    On the bright side Feb 2008 was a write off for me as I had a crash early doors and got next to nowt in. So, god willing Feb 2009 will be a big improvement and I'll be nicely set up for March and I'll be able to push on from there. :D

    280 miles for me, although that doesn't include two 30 minute turbo sprint sessions a week. I thought I had done well until I read this thread! My best January for decades.

    Must do better in Feb I think!

    Why do you not include Turbo miles, they are hard eaned ones in my opinion. I've included them in my tally, theres no rest on one of them god-forsaken beasts of torture.

    Due to the weather being so cold since 1st January i have only cycled to work , town centre e.t.c and no training but have clocked up 900 Kms.Th e roads have been constantly icy here for 4 weeks now, and quite frankly you would be a fool to go training in such conditions. The hometrainer is the best bet.
