You know you have already done 361 eh?

If I keep this rate up I think I will either die from exhaustion or more than likely find myself divorced!

Think of all that cycling time you would get

@Supersuperleeds @HLaB topping the charts already
What are the mileage targets for this year gents ?

Ive met my target for the year, the national yearly average; I think I met it on Jan the 1st; anything else is a bonus. I'm not sure what the rest of Jan will bring; its already brought a collapsed bottom bracket. Perhaps 60miles at 18.4mph on Sunday wasn't a good idea after it collapsed on Saturday.

I had to have the bottom bracket changed on Saturday, only done 8,000 miles on it, I got them to do it under warranty

Mine had did just over the unlucky 13,000 miles, the last 2,500 have high rpm/ lower ring work. It failed loundly on Saturday but I decided I wanted to do the Sunday club run, 60 miles @ 18.4mph, probably wasn't the best idea!

Do turbo miles count????

Do turbo miles count????

only by the amount your turbo trainer moves along the room.

You can log, but on the 'add a ride' page, click the 'other' button. That way your turbo session wont be added to the Cycle Chat total (it does actually say on the Cycle Chat page 'no Turbo Miles')

No. But you're much better getting the bike out in the fresh air anyway.

Just seen this on Wiki...

Didn't know that about the gradient and length. I always thought it was a bit of a quick'n'easy blast, might have an hour or two to spare in the morning

Well, just got back and I don't know where they time the hill climb start from but from the pub at the bottom (The Oak?) to the summit took me slightly longer than 12 minutes, more like 10 minutes longer

Any way, that's the pedalling pain completed. Just need a quick shower then it's pie pleasure time

Had a good week this week. I had the week off work and managed to get out every day except Thursday (the wife had the day off so it was nice to go out for the day and have some quality time together)

Wed, Jan 8, 2014 - 35.09 mi [Cycling]
35.09 mi in 02:14:10 hours at 15.69 mi/h on Enigma Echo. [Cycling] Had to go to the bike shop in St.Albans to buy a new bag as the zip on my saddle bag broke last night. After, I carried on for a few more miles. I had a puncture in the front wheel going down hill which was nice. A big slit in the side wall meant a spare bit of tyre had to be used to block the hole, so now I need to order a new tyre.

Just found this, got my MCL account up & running, and I am finding it a great motivator to engage in some weekend rides to get the miles up. With 3 kids to get out of the house one of whom has bathtime at 7pm, extending my ride in beyond 10 miles can be awkward !

Absolutely in awe of the top performers !
