Added some miles yesterday morning and its still not changed
Remember the chap who generates the link is in Australia.
So will always be a little behind.
That and he's probs a little peeved that the Poms have whipped the arses of the Aussies in the 'lympics.

I just passed the 7,000 mile mark (including more climbing than I've ever done before, about 185 vertical km (115 miles)) 
. I've set my yearly goal this year to be 17,000km (about 10,550 miles), but I do believe I'm on track to exceed it. So, Olympics notwithstanding, some of us can give you some decent competition .

Hey Vic, good to hear from you bud. Nice one on the mileage.
I would have reached that figure also if I had not been off the bike for 3 weeks with bad knee.
Not a good Olympics over all for you guys was it? Whats the reaction down under about that?

Well i'm about to shove the three bikes in the shed and use one of my three cars instead. 
I've virtually hit my target for this year.

Oh, what you might expect in any Westernised country where the govt has thrown ridiculous amounts of money at athletes, only to get a smaller return than usual!
Personally, I think the problem is that these sports, particularly at this level, are too focussed on the financial aspect, and the athletes no doubt feel the pressure because of it. The "goldfish bowl" effect due to various social media doesn't exactly help, either.
Sorry to hear about the knee. I've managed to avoid injury, despite doing more km and hills than ever before, but I must admit my legs ache all the time, so I haven't got off Scot-free.
