I really don't know why you put up with it. Those pictures look awful!

You should move over here

We're now 15,000 miles behind not sure how that happened so quickly
I've got a few commutes from last week to add later, but I don't think I'll be able to add much more this year.

We had about 8 members of our MCL team, that had not posted this year, so I PMed them. We also got a new member brycerider who wanted to join us, he has been a member of BV forum since May 2008.

Quoted from Auntie Helen on our BV Forum.
Right, the thaw has started.

However I can't see how we can make up the difference. It gets dark by 3:45pm now which seriously cuts into cycling time.

I haven't ridden today due to travelling from a work's Christmas do in Sussex back to Essex via visiting friends. Will try to do a bit tomorrow though.

Over here it is daylight at 6am and sun sets around 9pm.

Rub it in why don't you Frosty!

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch. Slipped off the pedals 9 times on the MTB today I HATE platform pedals! Still did a 20 mile off road ride. Hopefully my shoes will arrive in store today so I can pick them up tomorrow .

Well done for getting out at all, GrasB.

I'm afraid I've totally wimped out recently due to the state of the roads up here. I might get out on Boxing Day.

I did 12 miles this morning on a round trip to Aldi - who had run out of Stollen. Shocking!

It's slightly sleeting now but I'm popping off down the road to the local free range pork butchers to get some goodies. Should be another four miles or so.

Only need to do 128 to hit target...

I'm trying to shake off the effects of a bleedin' cold.
What with the snow as well I haven't been on the bike since last Thursday and not planning riding until at least Sunday or monday.

Have to say it's nice 'n mild around here, around about freezing point with virtually no snow on the roads, I'm back on the Durano Plus slicks. Thing is most motorists are still driving around like they're on packed snow which is great from my point of view... somehow a 23ish mile trip to pick up my MTB shoes turned into a 58 mile ride which just got faster & faster.

It's thawing here at last. Lethal until it's gone, can't even walk safely with the water on top of ice at the moment....

BUT it's supposed to rain heavily this evening and tonight, which should clear the rest of the ice away and clean the roads so could be back using the bikes again tomorrow .

I doubt whether we can make up the lost mileage now, but there's still The Ashes for consolation.

Updated my miles. i've slacked this year and won't even hit 6,000 miles

Davidc, I thought this might put a smile on your dial, it was posted by one of our members. I thought that it was brilliant. Personally, I lost interest in cricket a few years ago, when my sons left home.

i'd add my yearly total but dont know how to go about it...

 

[mcshroom]

The deficit is rapidly approaching 27,000 miles now, so I think it's all over - It's dramatic just how much the cycling dropped off in the snow

We're sitting at 396,000 miles ish, so how about a push to make it over 400,000 by Friday night?

 

[Garz]

Finally!

Visiting relatives for xmas in N.Ireland and over here the snow has melted so got my inaugural ride of thirty odd miles to add in. Didnt think Co Down was that hilly but it was a good workout. Will upload mileage soon to the pool.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Well today I managed 30 miles, what with looking after ill husband, entertaining in-laws and walking two dogs, so I think that's quite an achievement.

I also worked out that I have now, since January 2009, cycled 19,999 miles. So one more to the big Two Zero.

Also I only need 34 miles to hit my 8,000 target for the year - and I'm going on a group ride with YACF tomorrow which should be 36. So big celebrations will take place when I get there!

Between us and the BV Forum Aussies we've cycled 33 times round the world!
