CYCLOGS

[Auntie Helen]

Well done to Aran (as usual, although they were probably all Turbo miles), to Ian (who probably only did 240 miles but rode his 5 bikes all at the same time), to Arallsopp (who quite clearly needs his head read) and everyone else who's had such a successful July.

My target of 12,000 for the year is still within reach, I have to do 34.12 miles per day to attain it (1046 per month). Current year total is 6768 so I've got some catching up to do for the lower-mileage January and February.

Sorry I let the team down today, didnt get back from work till seven and it raining put me off altogether. However tomorrow is a new month and with that comes a bigger target!!

 

[potsy]

296 miles for me this month bit down on June but includes a weeks holiday so improvement in real terms + a slight increase in average speed too.

 

[arallsopp]

Congratulations team cc. Proud to be a part of you.

 

[Garz]

Updated my first wet outing for the new month, good to see all these hardcore riders already flying such as auntie helen!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Hardly flying, just went to Aldi to get in some provisions for the in-laws' visit tomorrow...

 

[Garz]

How many miles is it to aldi?

 

[Auntie Helen]

4.5 if I go the direct route

My normal route is a 20ish mile one.

Set myself a year target of 3000mls, reached it today to take me to 3012mls, this was done with the help of cyclogs and the challenges it brings.

 

[Garz]

Well done jim!

Not sure id go 20 miles for my shopping though.. but you have a cracking carbon footprint auntie!

Broke my baby< (FELT DA TT bike) today. Was riding the Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 50 mile TT and my saddle started moving around quite a bit at about the 42 mile mark and got progressively worse... The last 2 miles or so I had to ride out the saddle and it was a killer on the 'quads', (great workout though), managed to finish though and more surprisingly I won with a time of 1hr 51min and 51 seconds, winning by just 14 seconds. Ohhhhhhh, a close shave!

The alluminium seatpost clamp fixed/glued to the carbon section of the frame decided to part company with the frame. Think it will be repairable but means the bike will be OOA for the rest of this season I suspect.

Bummer!!!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Oh no

But well done on winning the race anyway. How is your World Domination In TTing progress going?

Still, this is presumably a chance to buy another bike. If you need any help with this, ask Ianrauk who has been buying new bikes regularly over the past couple of weeks.

Oh, and I attended a TT a few days ago. Here are the lucky CycleChat chappies who had me cheering them on:

HeartAttack and Will1985.

 

[Garz]

Not sporting the CC clobber I see!

Ouch aran, that sounds a nasty story but maybe pushed you them few seconds to win eh? Good job anyway!

Oh, I have a back up machine available, but not quite as fast and stealth-like as the FELT.

Is it down again?
