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!!

I know what you mean, I have a partially slippd disc & a cold & it wasn't worth the greif so I cycled

Sorry Auntie, maybe it was me.
I finally got round, this afternoon, to logging my miles kilometers for the year.
But they're also on CC Ecosse.

Well tomorrow I shall do my best to claw back a bit of position in the rankings as I'm off on a pootle with Wowbagger of about 45 miles. Thing is, last time we attempted this route we got distracted by the rather fine curry house in Dunmow, stayed there for two and a half hours and then went home again so a total of 20 miles rather than 45. The curry house is on our route again tomorrow...

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 haven't checked yet but I'm hoping you may even be slower than me... I've never managed to get my average into double figures apart from occasionally.

 

[marinyork]

Mine's not particularly fast either.

No one need know of your "woeful" speed Arch , I see it as an advantage of MCL that, unlike Cyclogs, it does not demand input of time information.
Anyway, it is nicer to be sociable than fast.

Thank you. I do input my time, because I like to be able to estimate journey times. But I did slow down last year, even before I switched to the winter hack, I have no idea why.

Still, I am generally feeling a bit faster in the last week or so...

Sociable is indeed best. But for that, one needs to be fast enough to keep up!

If we are to make any attempt at getting back in touch with the BV group, we are going to need to put into a 50 mile extra effort - EACH. Hope I can get out for a decent one this weekend, but my wife has a list of jobs that need doing.

request sent AH, every little helps i guess?

 

[Arch]

Yikes! I'm limited to Sunday this weekend, and I'm afraid I'm a bit of a weather wuss at the moment... Fingers crossed for a nice day.

But I've just thought of something. Of course they have more miles. Australia is way bigger than the UK. They have further to ride! In fact I bet everything over there is bigger to scale, and they have 6 foot diameter wheels and everything...

 

[Auntie Helen]

Well I did 50.01 miles today so hopefully that helps. I'm doing 50 on Saturday too. Not that that will enable us to close the gap that much...

I've jumped ahead of MadCylist though... back to eighth position in our team.

 

[redflightuk]

Just added 34and a bit. Hope to get some good riding over the weekend. Taking one of the longer routes to/from work tomorrow.

 

[andyfromotley]

Even if there isn't the wind's raw cold out there. Riding a couple of miles to do some shopping nearly froze my face off!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Yep, it's cold, and I'm supposed to be doing 50 miles again tomorrow on a group ride with YACF. I shall make sure I have my buff to keep my face warm.

Andy, I think velodrome is OK as it's actually proper cycling, rather than stationary pedalling. Anyone else have a view?
