I know. And I have no illusion that I'll finish anywhere near the top 10. I made top 20 in 2011 which was novel. I would like to stay ahead of arallsopp though

My ticker's not updated yet, so I'm hoping Potsy's enjoying the illusion of being ahead of me

I'm enjoying the illusion of being ahead of you until your ticker updates too!
.Nice to see someone with the same goal at about the same mileage!
(I should never have got this ticker thing I'm too much of an obsessive compulsive-competitive bad loser!

I don't know how the rest of the year will pan out, but right now it's the perfect motivation to get out on the bike.

- East coast, up a bit.
Is it the fog, the icy roads, the snow, the rain or the gales you enjoy?
The weather here has been grim, I haven't been cycling this year yet
, but have been a way for a week on holiday.

Not a bad start for me- this week will be a bit lighter mileage, but this January's mileage should still be over 600, same as last year. February will be higher than last year (I have a week off...). I'm only 150 miles ahead of Walnuts so far, that won't do

Ignoring the fact that it's blowing a good un right now, the winter's been rather kind to us thus far in Somerset (where's the touch wood smilie?). Only two proper frosts, both within the last week, and I've only had a few rides where I've been soaked to my smalls. Obviously, I've now damned myself and will be up to my armpits in snow for the next three months

Its win-win here, mate. If you're serious about the 6k mile goal, you should realise my new Mon-Fri in Chiswick working pattern means I only have to work 31 weeks before I'll pass on commuter miles alone. If I manage to pull it back to Mon-Weds in chiswick, I need to commute for 53 weeks this year to catch you
I reckon we'll both do north of 6,000 though.Anyway, you're at an advantage. What you can fit into 8,784 hours, will take me two hours into Jan 2013

My 6,000 target is a nominal one this year as I'm not mile chasing. Hopefully London-York-Hull-London will boost me in front of you, not to mention the SR series and riding back from my parents!!!Its win-win here, mate.

And I didn't understand the hours bit. Do you not get a full leap year then?

A week or so off the bike & I've gone from 1st to 19th! I hope to change that in the coming weeks. I've WD40'd my kneecaps in anticipationBloody hell-there's some big mileage on there already. It's only mid January
Nice one.
Should pass 1000 by the end of the month also.
So much for me cutting back cycling miles this year then.
