I should crack it tomorrow or Friday, having also done 1000 in April.
I need to change my front tyres again - I'm wearing them out every two and a half months at the moment!
Oh and Redflightuk, I've got a dog trailer for my trike now. Great fun!

Lucy won't go in the trailer - it's too small for her.
However, in order to make good use of the trailer, we're going to get a puppy in August. A cockapoo, is the plan. I want to try to work out some way of affixing a dog basket to the rear rack of the trike so I can take the doggie out without the trailer if I wish, but I haven't thought too much about the logistics yet. If any of you have any bright ideas... The doggie will be 10-12kg when adult.

Sure... they're ahead for now, but how many of them are doing it with 25kg of potatoes aboard? Dogs? Kids? If you ain't trailing, you ain't trying.

Well, I've topped 1000 for the year... Only logged 1489 for all of last year (that only started in May though).
Should crack 300 again for May, although after today there will be a pause in my logging, while I'm away. I'll keep notes.
If all goes according to plan, I'll double that 300 in June!

I hadn't actually added up the miles for my tour before (someone else has arranged the route, we just follow him!).
I'm a bit scared now!
I am gradually lengthening my commute, too - managing to average 10 miles a day for the last two weeks - Tuesday I even did a 10 mile loop home (instead of the straight 1.5 miles...).
Once I'm back from my holiday, I'll maybe try to up it a bit more. Trouble is, it's going to end up all being at the end of the day, because a) I don't really want to get up too much earlier, and I need some strength left to work!

Hi all,
I wouldn't count on me racking up too many miles on the tour to begin with. The heat, humidity and altitude are all unknowns so intend to find my feet and capabilities slowly. I'm easing off a little on the training after this weekend, still got a few things to sort out and my inbox/diary has never been busier. It's nice to know I'm going to be missed. Fitness wise i've moved onto another level entirely, riding the Thorn fully loaded has done wonders, I'd love to have a suitable bike to have a crack at a couple of 10's I'm absolutely flying on the fixed at the moment and wouldn't be surprised if I could turn in a long 20 or short 21, my PB was 20:19 20 years ago.
Keep an eye on my blog i'll update it from the notebook I'm taking with me whenever i have an internet connection.
Once I've settled back in when I return, I'd enjoying meeting up with as many of you as possible, the FNRTTC rides sound like great fun.
It's going to be a strange day at work tomorrow, details of my ride are being published in the weekly newsletter at work, although I've hardly kept my intentions secret since I seperated from my wife a couple of years ago. They all think I'm nuts, but most are as jealous as hell LOL.
The last two years has really re-ignited my passion for cycling again, I've agreed to renew my old BCF Coaching qualifications and help out the local club when I'm back.

I thought I'd see what it was all about but its down for me too.bhoyjim said:
I don't think my mileage would help though, I've only got 1220 documented this year (I know I done a bit more but probably not much more when I had no computer for a while) last year racked up 3700 by this time and then the Sportives started.
OT I have to laugh at the Ozzies they go on constantly about the whinging poms but when I went there all they could do themselves was moan about the weather (I went to Melbourne in their so called winter). FCS I could cope with 15deg and a little drizzle in the middle of winter, what did we get -8deg (or colder), a lot of ice and snow.
