CYCLOGS

[Auntie Helen]

Having been reliably informed by FFFF that dudi's whippet-thin and fast as the proverbial fast thing, I think he can take it

HeartAttack, that's some speed you're doing as an average! You've nearly caught up Aran20. Don't give yourself a myocardial infarction with all that exercise

 

[HeartAttack]

As almost all my rides now are group ones and also mostly with the fast group, plus mid week races, the speeds are higher than I may do on my own, saying that each ride does include the 5-10 miles on my own each way to the meeting point.

As for the giving myself another heart prob, well what doesn't kill me will make me stronger, and if it kills me OH well at least I went out with a smile or is that grimace

 

[Sittingduck]

Mmmmm Back from the boozer and planning tomorrow's ride alreaqdy
I agree McB. Cycling is a great way to cure a hangover

 

[summerdays]

I'm doing OK on the 250 aim but I've still got half term to come... I usually get fewer miles in when the kids are off school - for a start I won't be commuting

 

[arallsopp]

(...Andy starts scanning back through the forums to determine the distances for McB and AH's commutes... 5th place at present, but not a lot in it.)

Also, early warning. Serious miles to be put in on Saturday. Very likely to be HeadHunter and myself, so he could well jump into 1st place.

 

[Auntie Helen]

My commute is walking down the stairs to the study!

But another warning, I'm off on my cycle tour on Sunday night. Hopefully it'll give me a boost in May. I'm currently only just about on schedule for my target as I'm taking it a bit easier, knowing I'll be doing far more miles and fully laden next week.

 

[arallsopp]

..then I shall just have to make sure I log my miles when I return on Sunday morning, before you get properly underway.

 

[Auntie Helen]

I was just contemplating the Cyclogs list and realising that my days of getting the Cyclogs Yellow Jersey may already be past. HeartAttack came out of nowhere to take the lead; Headhunter is doing an awful lot of long rides, as are you Arallsopp; Yello is clearly taking a bit of a break from high miles but could reappear; Aran20 is letting some of us get a taste of winning but I don't doubt that won't last; MacBludgeon is slowly cranking up the miles and getting worryingly good at long distances; User1314 is also whizzing up the rankings, and that on fixed!!!; and, the DistanceMeister of them all, Aperitif, has chosen not to log for a month or two. This is the chap who did 255 miles in one day, and then did the FNRttC (which must be nigh on 200ish) the next week. And who does a 40 mile daily commute. So who is probably right at the top of the leaderboard, showing us all a clean pair of Mighty Calves.

Still, I shall continue to work for the maillot jaune feminin until HelenD123 and Summerdays and others start beating me!

You'd better watch out. I'm doing a 600 mile tour in July!

 

[MacB]

I should be back to the full commute tomorrow, so they should creep up again, will reach the 1K for May but not concerned about getting beyond that........until June Me thinks a 1500 month is on the cards

 

[HeartAttack]

Yep sorry about that AH, I only bothered to read this thread at the end of last month and thought I may as well record my miles, you know to try and join in the forum a little more, not for any other reason. Anyway don't worry Monday's I never ride the bike (unless its a bank holiday) plus I'm starting to go to the gym more now so maybe my miles will ease back a bit, at least till next week when I should be able to get a few more longer rides in ready for a few 100's next month.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

anyone logged a shorter ride than the 1.8km i did yesterday?

This morning I rode from my garage, down the drive before the rear tyre exploded. I pushed the bike back so I could log 5 metres. Probably will not bother though.

 

[Auntie Helen]

I notice Aran20 has started logging more/longer rides again. So ends our short break from busting guts to beat him My measly 21 miles today won't do much to help my overall ranking, I'm only just remaining on target at the moment. And I'm eating more and more choccie biscuits daily

 

[MacB]

well, I'm going to miss target by miles now, bit of an injury/saddle sore, caused by seatpost moving at wrong time, so rest required.
