To get the tracker bar, just copy the link in my sig and submit your name (the exact way it's spelled on MCL, including correct capitals if any) for mine and your mileage target at the end instead of my 8000. And bob's your uncle! And thanks to Lock from the Aussie BV forums for enabling it for us!

A big scrap for seventh place at the moment between myself, Arallsopp and Flyingscot/Fenman. I am currently leading the pack but am not sure for how long...

Thanks for the reminder. Cycled to work this morning, and didn't log the commute yet... And about to head home too. Ah... sorry.

Dang!

"So any of you Aussies want to report to the CycleChatters on your weather/mileage/general cycling conditions?"

Our weather is starting to turn, with the colder mornings starting to creep in, it won't be long before it is getting down to 5 or 6 degrees overnight. We are also starting to get a bit of rain which is a novel thing because we haven't had much for the last five or so years.

Generally speaking though, by the time we dig out our full blown winter gear it is starting to get warmer again. Most days I will ride with long winter bibs and thick woolen socks with either a shortsleeved jersey with arm warmers and a spray jacket or if it is really cold I'll wear my winter lined jacket.

Thanks Ozrider!

Weg also reports:

We've had a run of unseasonally warm riding weather of late but it's cooled to something more normal now. Even a little rain. And daylight saving has ended and there's no long weekends until June.

And that one's for 'our' Queen who's a pom, who doesn't play cricket. And it's not on her birthday.

Ungrateful so and so! At least they get a holiday out of her!

5 or 6 degrees overnight? 'cold'. pah!

5 or 6 degrees overnight? 'cold'. pah!

+1 it'll be nice when it's consistently above that in the morning so I don't need to do the whole compromise between being warm enough at 5:30am morning riding in & overheating in the afternoon going home. Having to have 2 sets of gloves, pack arm warmers & base layer etc. does get irritating.

7th place

A big scrap for seventh place at the moment between myself, Arallsopp and Flyingscot/Fenman. I am currently leading the pack but am not sure for how long...

good ride today got my front tyre just in front. have to work tomorrow so i guess i will drop back again but hope to get a few in on thursday, riding squires & spires sportive at naseby on sunday so will check how far in front Auntie Helen is then,

 

[Madcyclist]

Hopefully I'm off for a shakedown tour on the Thorn over the weekend if my replacement rear panniers arrive in time. I ordered both front and rear Ortliebs in red as I'm touring in South Asia during the monsoon season this year but unfortunately Wiggle sent red fronts and black rears, too much black with the matt black frame.

On the upside, now I've fettled with the position considerably over the first few rides the Brooks saddle is beginning to feel as comfortable as I remember them being. The Pearson Touche is still by far my preferred ride at the moment nothing gets me grinning more than spinning the fixed at speed, still a racer at heart but I'm very excited by the the experiences to come touring in South Asia.

Madcyclist. How long you in Asia for? Tell us more...
