Just one day left for it now... forecast looks grim for tomorrow but I was thinking of banging out a cheeky ton, to get me just over 10.8k

Some good successes on this thread - well done all.

Phew, didn't think I'd get there but hit the magic 6k today - and just in time for perfectly cooked roast beef with all the trimmings at the pub.

just tipped over 4300 miles today in the nasty winds around the Purbecks.

I was joking about the ton. Have you seen the forecast for Tomorrow?!

yes not good.
And was joking about the sneaky miles
Still in a little pain after last weekends ride. Needs to completely heal before I get back on the bike.
As want to do my January 100 next weekend.

 

[Sittingduck]

Yep - not worth risking it. I am planning on doing 35 - 50 tomorrow. Just enough to complete the Rapha 500 challenge (on Strava) but am hoping to get them done in the morning before it really starts to come down.

I doubt I'll be adding to my mileage significantly; rain and gales are continuing. I've had enough of them over the last week and last nights session didn't help.

Why did I sign up to that stupid challenge I've got 52 miles still to go and the local forecast is opposite, bucket till noon after which it'll be dry and only gusting to 43mph.

GWS,

I'm leaving my Jan ton till I'm back down south and don't have to worry about Ice/massive craters in the dar.

It's a little disappointing to only reach 82% of my target this year, maybe I'll buy better weatherproofing for next year, or even a boat .

Don't feel bad. I step it up a little to achieve my target down south as its much harder to achieve mileage up here and you are further north still chapeau on achieving any December Mileage.

Not exactly mycycling log related but I bought my Roubaix and Garmin 705 as Early Christmas present in 2010, having ridden my Hybrid for around 2000 miles. My (at the time ambitious) target for 2012 was 6000 miles. Should cross 7200 with tomorrows commute which I am chuffed with. Also happy with the avg HR decrease with an increase in avg speed. Must be fitter!

Thank you, it's just a bit of fun for me but sometimes I wonder if miles in the Highlands in winter shouldn't count for a bit more than miles in South Britain?
