I dont seem to have an orange line in my ticker?
Did you log last years rides?
Did two, 100 mile+ rides over two days on my Ridley cyclo-cross bike with small panniers and I felt surprisingly good. Rode to Somerset to see my folks and sister yesturday, the weather was perfect for such a ride and the route I took was ace apart from a horrible 20 odd miles on the A30 from Shaftsbury to Yeovil. Ride home in the rain was A bit crappy, but wasn't cold and I had a tailwind and it did sort of clear up later in the morning / afternoon. Had a break at the lovely Fordingbridge for a coffee and T-cake. In all, it was a great couple of days cycling.
Probably sooner than you thinkMwooohaahahaa! Just jumped right over Auntie Helen, FlyingScot, Alien8 and StuAff into 7th Place. Sometimes I love this commute.
Oh, except for when it syncs up with the FNRttC and gives me a 163 mile day with two breakfasts and 8 hours in the office.
Seems like I'm due in the states at the end of the month, so am sure I'll be slipping back down pretty soon
Probably sooner than you think
You do realise you can't count the additional descents you like to add to our rides? I mean, approximately 5ft 11" each time you do it
