CYCLOGS

[yello]

I hope aperitif isn't planning that. It is what we'd call in NZ a 'w*nkers trick'. Calm down! That is not a harsh insult as it probably sounds to a Brits (but it's not a term of endearment either!). Basically, it's not playing the same game as everyone else!

I'm thinking of not logging miles for the next few months. Unfortunately, I find Cyclogs is diverting my attention from what should be my main focus - LEL training. I thought the 2 could be compatible but it seems not to be the case for me.

Well done Helen for getting another x1000 miler this month

I can feel the line running out....the fight.....the reeling in...

Don't ever accuse me of planning anything! (But I might just do it...why not? I'll only be logging miles where I got wet, felt the warmth of the day, felt hungry, shared with someone though.) I'll not be logging anything done while reading my well-thumbed Cervantes as I pedal...

Of course. Whatever it means Up to you entirely.

When did you start? Was it an overnighter?!

I left home at nine pm sat night, the ride started at 11, finished two thirty ish on sunday afternoon and I was home by half four.

I had trouble sleeping last night, over tired I think.

That's not close, you're 18 miles ahead of him. You need to keep up the momentum, though, else he might sneak out and do some more!

 

[ianrauk]

Exactly....

Plugging them all in at once seems a bit unsporting.

Good on ya mate (says he lapsing back into the vernacular!). That's exactly what I think too. I think this month's yellow jersey has been well earned and I'd hate to see it snatched away from her them at the 11th hour!

 

[MacB]

nope, plug them in, all's fair

Congratulations on passing the 1,000 mile barrier Auntie Helen!
If I had a had on, i'd take it off to you.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Thank you dudi

Congrats to Ianrauk for once again surpassing his monthly target, and to HelenD123 for doing her century, and for everyone else who's doing very well.

It helps that we have nice weather, doesn't it, to get the miles in...

Don't worry. I won't be sneaking out for crafty miles. The rest of my month is prescribed by necessary commutes twixt Chiswick and Bromley.... which reminds me, I just rode in again. Off to update the logs

Edit:-And back. Looks like I'm not closing the gap. With both of us cyclo commuting, you've still got 25 miles on me. I may be working from home on Thurs, which means I could have only 3 x 17 miles commute left in the month.

I tip my hat to you sir.

Rain hammering on my windows

Here see for yourself!

We had some mega rain yesterday and I was reminded why mudguards (recently removed) are a good idea.

For the first time in about three months I took the shortest possible route home I felt a bit rubbish about it but water was fountaining off my front wheels onto my head and lap and legs just from my own wheels, let alone when motorists went past and splashed me.

We have sunshine this morning (although rain forecasted for this afternoon when I'm doing cycle instructing with 12 schoolkids!) so I shall have to get some miles in shortly...
