Ah, but you also need to join the CycleChat team and add your ride to that team, then you'd be 63rd this month on the team listing!

Done, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've also added in my rides since the start of the month so I'm in 53rd place in the team standing and 228th in the overall standings. I'd initially set 100 miles as a goal for the month but I think I should be aiming higher having reached 55miles already!

Gah, and here's me languishing in 63rd place - that'll teach me to have a week off.
Last month I was trying to keep pace with the likes of PunkyPossum - but it looks like she's already close to my monthly target .

Prehaps I'll have to add in a few long-way-round commutes and claim to be just in it for the fun not the miles

Hehe...admittedly 35th is the highest I've been - 100 miles over the bank holiday weekend seemed to have pushed me up the ratings quite nicely. Don't worry, it won't last (although as I really have to get the training miles in for Amsterdame, I should really make it last)!

Hey Aran20, can you post a couple of pics of your bike? I would be fascinated to see what a bike looks like that has 1k wheels!

 

[aran20]

I wish!

Nah, I'm anticipating aran20 to overtake shortly (arse up, nose to the bars ) I have my own program to keep to so I'm trying not to be distracted too much by positions on the table... that's the plan anyway!!

The weather forecast for the rest of the week here is pretty grim so I may not be getting out for any big rides, and today's a rest day, so I may not be adding too many miles this week.

Ohh, don't think so... My plan is more racing now and less miles. You're doing ace yello... keep it up mate. Oh but watch out for that AH she sure is sneaky!

For you... anyfink!

It has gears!! I didn't expect that. Are the some on the front as well as the back? (I'm not too good with terminology).

Looks very speedy. And your saddle is ten miles in the air!

I, too, had a speedy ride today. Bet you wish you could get statistics like this when you go out:

It's not all about the speed, (only when your racing). I think you do really well AH. Have you ever thought abut getting a unicycle??

 

[aran20]

Ive got a fixed version too, but can only be used for certain courses because the gear is huge 58 x 13

 

[Auntie Helen]

So can you tell us some more about it? I'm completely hopeless on bikes, don't know a thing (they all seem to be one wheel short to me). I assume it's carbon fibre, thus the swoopy shape. I expected it to be smaller/thinner like the bikes the Olympians used. How do you manage not to get horrendous backache with that high saddle?

 

[Auntie Helen]

That would be certain death - or at least certain injury. Although I rather liked the unicycle thingie on The Gadget Show last night; a more appealing Segway-type gadget. It would certainly be easier to take on the train than my trike.

Have you ever ridden a unicycle? Aren't they meant to be incredibly hard to ride? And Lidl was selling them not so long ago...

Tried, but when I pulled the brake kept hitting the deck
