I would say it's just not Cricket Monty old chap.

In all seriousness, just don't think it's in the spirit of Cyclogs. I could quite happily spend hours on end spinning away on the exercise bike and add the miles... but it's just not cycling.

Montage, the rule is that you can use Turbo Miles as long as they're logged with a GPS rather than a wheel-mounted cycle computer ;)

No, not really, it's up to you whether you log them or not. The choice is yours.

+1 in all honesty I was dubious about logging my version of Cancellara’s decent... good fun that but not exactly typical cycling conditions.

Evening all. You'll be pleased to hear I just logged my first miles of 2010. A whopping 3.4 mile loop, from my house, to my sister's... and back!
I do feel a little ashamed, because really it was 2 rides of 1.7 miles each way, with a pretty long stop in between. ;)

So.... what are people's mileage targets for 2010?

I'm aiming for 9,000 miles this year (which is about 25 a day) but I shall probably do fewer in the winter months and more in the summer, rather than a set 750 per month.

I enjoyed the challenge of 1mph average last year, so had a target of 8760. This year, I'm dropping it to 5000 miles, but I can always re-factor later on if it starts to climb :sad:

I won't log them (with the exception of the 6 I allready logged). In that case I shall be contributing late february/march as I am still weary of going for longish rides as the knees are still weak. Having to shiver by the roadside waiting for a moody parent isn't the best way to spend an evening :sad:

wahey! Just logged my commutes for yesterday, and now I'm 6th for the team. Can't see me holding it, as too much snow out there to commute in today. Working from home Thurs / Fri, so I reckon I'm done for the week.

Pants.

Lots of snow here today so looks like it's a day off the bike again.

The parts for my trike were due to be posted today but ICE have emailed me to say they don't think the courier will be collecting so it'll be off the road a bit longer. I've lengthened the boom on James's trike now though so it's more comfy and I can ride it OK.
 
Managed to ride the whole commute today. Home-farm, too early for most people to be up. Farm -work 90% offroad on old railway line and bridleways. Great fun, no traffic and only 2 other mtber's.
The ride home was a bit slower with deeper snow and also stopping to take pics on the way.

Dunno but I've not done any rides to post for the last couple of days :sad: This take it easy after 12,000 miles is going a bit far (I blame the weather and the fact I'm having to use Uncle James's Trike)
