I set myself a 2400 mile target for the year(didn't start til April) which I passed on Thursday hopefully do another 200 or so by year end.
Next year got to be 3000+

GrasB and I are jousting for position this month (I have a feeling Redflightuk will post a high score after the fnrttc). I passed my 11,000 for the year this morning whilst on a ride with Delthebike (who passed his 10,000 for the year) and Wowbagger (who passed his 7,000 for the year) so there were lots of celebratory drinks as we pootled around Mid-Essex.

I'm now on target for the 1000 this month if I do 30 miles tomorrow and Monday. Should be manageable...

Am starting to get a bit concerned about my 2009 target, am going to end November with 100 miles under monthly target. Got the bike out this afternoon, but put it away again as it was raining so hard...

Well done all three of you. As for posting a high score, i managed a century. Would have liked more but feeling wet/cold and not knowing the way back very well (Arallsopp was the only other rider up for returning and he wasn't sure of the route either) so caught the train to Luton and rode home from there.

The thing is with targets ... last year it was also 3000 (well its started at 2000 which I did easily so I upped it) and I failed... this year hopefully I'm going to succeed. If I do ... do I keep the same target or do I increase it slightly? I'm so impressed with those of you with enormous targets!!!

Sorry about that mate. Clive and I did the same, if that helps. Train back, then pootle around until we clocked the century.

Clive's computer was on the blink for some of the ride, so he was relying on my telemetry for his final score. Post ratification with the GPS, turns out he logged 97!

I went up and down the road twice after dropping him back, and bagged the tonne. Rude?

2500 sounds like a nice round number so I need to fit in another 220 miles before the end of the year. Trouble is I get a bit wary of being out on the roads in the run up to Christmas as drivers are so distracted and rushing around trying to get that last present... If I can fit in a couple of commutes this week and I'm definitely out next Sunday I might have a chance of making it. Well done everyone!

2 firsts today, one was breaking the 1000 miles in a month barrier, the other was my first solo ride over 50miles, 75.3 miles to be precise! What was even better was the usual group decided it was to wet to ride... yet I did 75miles you light weights

 

[Auntie Helen]

Well done GrasB

AH, thank & hope you can step up into the 1k mile club this month

I wonder what zizou will do, (s)he's been leap frogging me every day, however my75 miler & my now typical 33 mile commute gives them 50 miles to put in tomorrow.

 

[zizou]

really pleased to break a 1000 for this month as when i started using cyclogs in about october i 'only' managed about 600 or so miles, and that was being out on my bike for at least a couple of hours most days so i didnt think i could put much more time in to increase the miles what with the weather, winter nights etc. since then got my road bike and the miles have increased almost effortlessly as has my average speed quite considerably.

you'll be safe as i just logged about 45 miles

 

[GrasB]

zizou it's been really useful to have someone leap froging me, you helped me keep my daily average up

 

[Auntie Helen]

Look you lot, I had a brief flurry of being second place (to Aran) or an occasional first place (when he was off on a jolly abroad), so I'm not pleased about being pushed down the rankings by you young upstarts! Good thing Zizou logs for CycleChat Ecosse...

But well done to you all. I just scraped in my 1000 for the month; it wasn't looking likely when I was ill mid-month so I feel good about it. It's been my hardest 1000 due to the weather etc and so I feel pleased that I've done it. I have to do just under 900 in December and I'll have my 12,000 for the year

 

[arallsopp]

Good work my love. Well done.

Auntie Helen, I may be new to cyclogs but I've been putting in 500-700 miles a month for year
