I still have not worked out how to add my speed - I can ride time but no average speed (and I didn't buy a computer that tells me my average speed to then have to go and see how long I was riding for!)

It works out average speed for you

G'day Poms,

Just thought I'd drop in & say G'day from the land of Aus. Gotta say, even though the BV forums group are kicking your butts, distance wise, you lot are doing an impressive amount of KM, considering your sad excuse for a climate!. As you're aware, its Summer here, (well for a few more days, anyway) & we've had our share of 'climatic' challenges as well....it's too bloody hot to ride...but we do anyway!...Looking forward to Autumn now, cooler days will doubtless see us increase our lead!...does that sound like a challenge?....hahahaha...anyway, stay safe you lot, keep the rubber side down...we don't wanna beat ya cos of accidents....but we will beat you...Cycling ashes burnt & taken to Aust....Does that mean we get to burn auntie helens bike & mount it on our mantle? hahaha...[/QUOTE

Thanks for the comments Hitchy, it's nice to know that some of you guys (and girls) are taking the trouble to look in on our forum and join in the fun that has materialised around the mycyclinglog entries. Hopefully if you look at the rest of the sections of the forum you may find items that are interesting and also some where you can comment and give us some knowledge and experiences from down under!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't promise huge mileage but I guess every little helps ?

Hell yes, I'm logging the 3 or 4 miles I do on the work trike each day! They ought to count quadruple really, when you think of the weight of the thing...

BTW, do we know how many members the respective teams have? It would be interesting to know the relative miles per member, if you know what I mean...

I've had a bit of a 'wander' around your forums, you guys aren't that different to us. We have remarkably similar threads, about the same issues, concerns & argue about pretty much the same stuff. I guess cyclist's are very similar throughout the world. But I do 'doff my lid' to you guys & the amount of K's you are doing during winter...I think someone mentioned earlier, we think its cold if it gets down to 10deg c & bloody zero is relatively unheard of except in the Alpine area's. I've seen snow once in my life & didn't think much of it...made the road too slippery for riding!:wacko:

Well I hope there's no bike-burning going on whilst I'm away (I'm currently in Munich, home of beer and scary Weißwurst) so no cycling for me for a week. HOWEVER, I fully intend to get back to doing decent mileage on my return (partly to burn off the excess calories from all the cake I'm eating here) so I shall do my best to advance our (admittedly forlorn) hope to get ahead of the Aussies in due course.

It's interesting watching the Olympics here as there isn't a peep of any English people on screen - it's all Germans, Austrians, Canadians and Americans. Learning lots of useful new vocabulary for skiing terms in German, which is of absolutely no use to me at all.

There are a lot of cyclists here in München though, it's interesting to see how well the city is laid out for them. Haven't seen any recumbent trikes, but I did see a handcycle yesterday.

If I ever tried to ski, I imagine my only vocab would be a sort of "Aiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeghhhhhhhhhhh!", which is probably universal....

Argh! Shocking! Sorry, Snorri, I very rarely make that mistake. My excuse is that I've been speaking German all day and it's easier to say "ich komme aus England" than "ich komme aus Großbritannien". Plus the Germans tend to use "England" as a word to describe the whole British Isles.

Does that sound like a decent-enough excuse?
