longers said:Well done Auntie Helen on your century and Yello on your 300
Why, thank you. I'm all rested up now (and have had the brother-in-law and partner staying with us) so it'll be shortly time for me to put some more miles in. A 200 this weekend/Monday and another 300 later during the week.
I've also got some new bibshorts I need to test out - some Santini GXTs. They get good reviews for long distance comfort. I'll hopefully be able to agree with that!

Metres or yards, I hope, Yello!yello said:
If you study the Cyclogs rankings you will see that although I have at the moment done 25 more miles than Aran20 for April, they have taken me an entire day extra. That works out at 1.04mph. Which is sad!

Wrong view, you've had all that enjoyable time on your bike, taking in sights, building up stamina and leaving most of us in your wake. Whereas Aran is a hard bitten, driven cycling machine, he sold his soul many years ago for a fancy wheel and suffers from CWAS(Cycling While Asleep Syndrome). This has had a knock on effect on his love life and left him a forlorn and solitary figure. Empathy and pity are your friends here!

I knew I should have gone round the block on my return his morning !
oh, that's got to sting a bit, sorry Scoosh!!!! I only popped to the bike shop for my new pedals, if I hadn't had to come back via the cash machine you'd be ahead.

Off to join ilovebikes and ianrauk. Bit damp in SE london, so hoping Essex is better. Anyone planning to leap ahead of me today, be warned. There may be miles

I think we'll get a group shot of four Cyclogs Mile Munchers all around a Pint or something.
No rain here in Essex, nice and sunny and warm. I don't have to leave for another hour yet so can enjoy another cuppa or two.

At the moment, I'd settle for millimetres! It's pouring with rain and is forecast to do so until late next week. I want to get some miles in before the end of the month but I can't see it being as per the training schedule. I'll either have to get drenched or play catch up.... again!

Soooo..... just been on a group ride with several of the top Cyclogs chaps.
Here we are with our beer & chips plotting how to put Aran20 and Yello out of the Top 10.
(L-R) Her_Welshness (from the YACF team), headhunter91/ilovebikes, Auntie Helen, Aperitif, Arallsopp, Ianrauk. Yes, we know Aperitif hasn't logged his miles this month, but we all know he'd be up at the top somewhere this month. Hope you all notice the two recumbents in shot!
I'll write a write-up of this ride in due course and stick it in its thread in 'Rides & Touring' (Bromley Cyclists' ride).
And another thought... that four out of the top 8 on the Cyclogs CycleChat team are from Bromley (although only one from Great Bromley).

21:05 for a 10 mile TT! Pah, that's rubbish. Anyone could do that.aran20 said:
Ahem. Congratulations though, and good luck for tomorrow's race too, and I'm glad to see they are nice short races! I'd really like the month win but I've got to do some work next week which might interfere...Have some bad news to all you Cyclogs mile-munchers though, headhunter91/ilovebikes, that young-looking innocent and sweet chappie, informs me he's going for 1500 miles next month
He knew this was such a blow to me that he even accepted a piece of flapjack (he usually refuses to take any food from me, like a frightened horse; I think he thinks I might be trying to poison him). He and Arallsopp and Ianrauk will have 120ish miles after today's ride but at least I'm still safe from them for a bit. So next month the leaderboard could be quite different, especially if Aperitif starts logging again.As longers has pointed out to me elsewhere, there is minimal competition for the CycleChat team at the moment. I reckon if YACF logged all their miles they'd be ahead (teethgrinder does - reputedly - 40,000 miles per year). Perhaps we should encourage them to log, see if they can knock us off our top spot.
