Thought I'd better join in too.

I can't remember the last time I felt so shattered as the last 12km of yesterday's 150km (92.5 miles). The ride surprised me, the route was at a higher altitude than it has been so far in Thailand but even on a closer inspection of the maps they didn't suggest what was too come. I'm only in a hilly area but after four climbs of over 1000ft each I finished with 5,950ft of climbing. I felt fine towards the end but my legs had absolutely nothing left to give, rest day today before the 100km to Chiang Mai and the start of the Himalayas !!

Madcyclist, odd you should say that I'm now back from climbing camp 58'000ft & 570miles in 10 days. I'm knackered but feeling very pleased with my self...

My 3 week lay off the bike is now over and I have managed to clock up 60 miles in the last 2 days and should manage a 60 miler in the morning on the club run - will be aiming to get back up that leader board by the end of Aug. But, my legs are heavy and I note that my HR is higher for the same effort - fitness has clearly taken a bit of a hammering.

'nuff said

Well done Ian, I've only ridden further than that when competing in a 12hr time trial. I'm usually more than happy with 70-120 miles.

After a couple of day's chilling out in Chiang Mai where I've had my bike serviced, I've been and booked a busman's holiday. Riding a guided 90km downhill all on single track on a hired mountain bike on Monday, from the summit of Doi Pui back to Chiang Mai. First time for everything who know's if I enjoy it enough a mountain bike might be next on the list !!

Well, we seem to be holding firm in our lead over the aussies. Hopefully, we can maintain our effort and enthusiasm during the cooler months to come as our antipodean cousins come out of their winter hibernation. I predict a tight finish on this one.

Unless they have been delaying logging some of their rides so as to lull us into a false sense of security....
Aussies? Gamesmanship? Now whatever gave me that idea?

The good news is that combined CC/BV total is still looking good for a million kilometres.

bunch o' Aussie wimps. They wouldn't know cold weather cycling if it jumped up and bit them in their lycra clad arses.

I was rubbish in August (only 300 miles) due to new puppy. Now she's a bit older I have more opportunity to cycle but am also busy catching up on other stuff. I reckon I might manage 600 miles this month.
