Just letting you guys know. We've have a short discussion about indoor-trainer mileage...

It's fun trying to keep up with the BV people but not the end of the world if they are ahead of us. I reckon that AH has got it right in our intro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well from that link that klu provided it seems that the Aussies are logging a few turbo miles.

So I suppose if any of you lot want to include your turbo miles, that's probably fair enough.

 

[Keith Oates]

AH, I think you were correct to say no turbo miles and that this should not change. If we are so worried about being second to the BV team then we should try to pursuade more of our members to log their rides onto the team list. The main objective surely must be to get our members out on bikes, riding and enjoying the fun, the position on the team chart is fun but secondary IMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got around to inputting some commuting miles for 2010! Only a mere 200, but it all helps.

Agreed.

How do you do that 'progress bar in your sig line' thang?

As Mrs Hippo says "Cycle for pleasure, not measure!" I admit on two occasions last year, I cycled for measure. Once was when I arrived home and the trip reading was 99.92kms so I went round the block to get 100 kms. The other time was at the end of last year; on Dec 27, my year mileage was 12.715kms so I had 4 days to get to 13,000. Dec 28 - 88.96, Dec 29 - 69.76' I'm on target but Dec30 - raining heavily so that left 126.72 for the 31st. Did I attempt it? No!

Its good to keep an eye on mileage, and also on average speed, but I've never thought of it as an end in itself. I have to agree with Mrs Hippo on this.

As far as the Aussies going ahead are concerned, I'd guess that all of us here in the north are likely to do more miles when the days are longer, the weather warmer, and it's generally more pleasant to be out on a bike than it has been so far this year.

Copy the link and put your own MyCyclingLog registered name where mine says Auntie_Helen and then your mileage target at the end and bob's your uncle!

 

[Fnaar]

Thanks. tried it, but even though I changed the 'target' in the url, it remains at your 8000, which I couldn't hope to emulate

I see this as a rather disappointing turn of events if turbo miles are to be accepted I will drop out of the CC team and just remain in the CC Ecosse team for 'real' cyclists.

I agree. (Somerset's a long way from Scotland though). Turbo miles are about as valid as a cycling machine in a gym and have no place in anyone's cycling mileage. Next thing we'll be having an exchange rate for press-ups to miles!

Velodrome or track miles - yes. Turbo or peddaling machine - no.

I think it's a matter of pride for our team that turbo miles aren't included.

+1 on that Gras
