Because you have the option of not adding times for your rides.

I don't want my speeds being displayed because they are very low. Okay, part of that slowness is due to lack of fitness, but a big part of it is that I tend to cycle over big hills all the time. I've averaged 17 mph for 100 miles a few times on the Manchester 100 when I wasn't even fit, but that is a flattish route with a few significant undulations. I've averaged 12.5 mph on mega-hilly 200s which required much more effort.

I think I've not been consistent about including times, because on some trips I've forgotten to press the right buttons on my GPS. I know the distance but not the time. So for some journeys, the time will be recorded as 0 - which must push my average 'speed' up?

Meanwhile, my January total is a rather pleasing 638km or 396 miles.

Pleased to see i'm moving back up the standings after the last couple of weeks of snow fall.

 

[I like Skol]

Even if I just log the outward pre-midnight leg I have done 455 miles
1-0 to potsy

OK, I give up. You're clearly a better man than I so I will cease trying!

EDIT: Go easy on the lovehearts, people might work it out.

Thanks, Helen , looks like I'm in. The MCL ticker will probably need a bit of time to update, though. I've set it to show my CycleChat group position with units in miles.

Regards,

Good man and welcome!

I just new you'd drop in in 3rd !

The recent snowy conditions have got me in the habit of using my turbo - and I think the training benefit means I now expect to use it regularly going forward. This of course displaces road miles.

I guess I'm getting my excuses in early in case I don't hit my target miles

 

[potsy]

In a similar vein, I have covered over 449 miles in January which is also the most in one month, ever! Potsy appears to have done a few less?

If you do 117 miles tomorrow we will be level again

By the end of Feb, we'll be equal too.....

No worries, you'll quite possibly overtake me during the Australian Winter

Or perhaps not, since our Winters tend to be milder than yours.

When its a cold wet 14-15deg in Melbourne, we call that summer

Actually, I don't regard 14-15 as cold - that for me is perfect cycling weather, cool enough for me not to sweat (unless I'm pushing myself hard) but not actually chilly. Of course, if I want to see snow, I generally have to head for Mt Donna Buang (the bottom of which is about 35mi from where I live, and with a peak at about 4200ft) in the middle of Winter.

Still watching closely? Hah, I knew it bothered you, that's why I pushed so hard in Jan. Just messing with your mind

LOL, I sweat on my commute even when It's -5°C. You're definitely not pushing hard enough!

I went to Melbourne for a Wedding in July 08; the locals were all whinging about the whinging poms and the weather I thought it was perfect too, the coldest it got was 13deg.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but what's the etiquette regarding adding miles to Mycyclinglog. Do people generally count miles done on turbo trainers and exercise bikes or is it solely miles done on the road?

Regularly do 7 to 10 miles per gym session but don't want to "cheat" the system so to speak (even though I'd only really be cheating myself).
