G'day Poms. And Auntie Helen.

Now that Auntie Helen and Snuffy have made the toss, I'd like to thank Auntie Helen for putting Cav up for transfer:

Sixthly, you posted some photos of weedy chaps in green.

We'll happily give him a visa if you don't want him. Together with Robbie and Heinrich, that should give us most of the 2010 sprints. Should be fun.

Heading out for more sunshine now. Cheers

G'day weg and welcome to CycleChat.

Well, fellow CycleChatters, we seem to be dropping behind, with 3000 miles to make up now. Argh!

Anyone (GrasB? the Aussies?) know whether the rankings start again on 1st February?

Now I feel even guiltier for not commuting yet this week.

no commuting for me today either as football calls

I've been using MCL for a couple of years now. The stats do NOT reset after every month. It will reset at the start of the New Year though. So that give you guys plenty of time to (try to) catch us.

You won't lose all your data each year though. You can still access your past years' mileage, and also total mileage for each of your bikes. Same goes for group data. For instance, I just checked our (BV) group yearly stats: 2006 = 4568km, 2007 = 34745km, 2008 = 105704km, 2010 = ???. It's all displayed in bar chart and numerical format.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Thanks Klu for letting us know about the yearly, rather than monthly, resets. In a way this is slightly disappointing as if it's monthly we have more chance of catching you, at least for one month in the year, whereas yearly will be more tricky as you seem to be pulling away again. I think we've signed up most of higher mileage names from our team in Cyclogs (except for one chap) so we probably can't add a great deal more to the weekly total that easily. Well, it'd help if I got on my backside and put in some more miles, but I'm being lazy this month.

Wow. I just saw that sudden surge in our mileage over the past few days too. If it makes you feel any better, we just came out of an effective 4-day long weekend, with beautiful mid-high 20s for the past few days. Plus, a lot of people were doing this ride on the weekend.

 

[Auntie Helen]

That looks shockingly hilly!

I haven't worked out yet if you can edit an entry once you hit save.

Also I haven't yet worked out the maintenance bit ... if I put in the number of miles already on the clock - do I do it to today or can I say what they were on the 1st of Jan. Currently missing some of the data but I do know what the ODO said on Jan 1st.

I hate change and having to relearn things.... all too complicated (could be I'm thick) .

Yes you can edit. You click on the little pencil icon.

Once you put a service in on the bike (and you can give the Odometer of when you did the service) it counts up how many miles you've done since that service (i.e. miles to date) which is quite handy. It's good to be able to put the service info in as I always thought that was a bit of a weak spot with Cyclogs.

BTW, in case anyone is bored enough to wonder, I don't have one weekly commute of about 18 miles - I accumulate the mileage for the week, for two reasons:

1. It's a faff putting in 3 or 6 mile rides, and
2. The computer on my winter hack is very cheap, and the qr dismounting is a bit stiff, so I leave it on the bike, which means it's downstairs, and there's no way I'll remember every day to check the details and reset it. Once a week, I can just about remember.

Also, I know my average speed is woeful sometimes - recently I've walked with the bike a bit, either because of ice, or because I've met a work colleague on the way in, and got off to walk along with them.

And sometimes, I'm just slow!

I was going to have a rest day today but thought AH might tell me off so struggled in through the pain barrier,was well windy on way home too,20mph winds mainly against me with the occasional crosswind to try knocking me into the gutter!!

 

[GrasB]

posty. you'll hate me for saying this but I had winds in the 15-20mph region as a tail wind... oh how glad I am I didn't have to cycle into that this morning!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Well someone (eck?) has dropped me down into ninth position. Ninth! What's the world coming to? I used to be second or third in the CC team in Cyclogs.

Keep up the good work folks, we're only 2,500 miles behind the Aussies!
