My first ride of 2011 too. My first off for a couple of years as well!! Slid on a sheet of ice. No harm done to the bike and I have just a slight sore hip and hurt pride!!

Sounds like a good ride other than the icy corner though. I hope you don't feel too stiff from your fall in the morning.
I think the ice has disappeared around here, but I'm staying on the hybrid with snow studs for a while yet.

I'm amazed at how high up I am. Got a couple of 100s lined up too, may even get top spot but I suppose that depends who is on the long rides with me....

I've only done three short rides this year for various reasons. I'll have to have a few days off the bike at the end of Jan too so I don't expect to do too well this year.I did my second ride of the year today and was surprised to see I'm ahead of Auntie Helen. I'm sure it won't last.

I've just added my commuting. On about 80 miles so far this year, somehow. Blimey, 30 miles of that is on a Maximus!
I'm so sloooooooooooooooow though. Averaging under 10mph for rides for which I have time data (the Maximus stuff is all worked out just for distance using bikehike, as they don't have computers on. But average speed on those is barely above walking pace sometimes). Admittedly, some of the timed rides will actually be me pushing the bike, when I walk up to the main road in the company of colleagues after work, and it is my heavy/bottle dynamo bike, but I really need to get faster!

Oh, and I've just set myself a goal of 4000 miles for the year. Apparently I should be on 175 miles by now....

Well I'm using kilometers but my figures are the same: 4000 goal, should be on 175 now... but I'm only on 80!
I'm still in semi-hibernation and will make up for it later. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Oh by the way Arch - how do I get a Progress Bar like what you're got in your signature?

My target is 5000 miles so I should be on 219 by now. I'm only 54 miles behind
Rebecca, what you need to do is edit the address bar from Arch's a bit to use your MCL name (and change mi km to at the end)
In fact your tracker would be this - [link] (I think)

I think mcshroom has sorted it - as a matter of fact I only set it up today, and had to trawl back through the thread to find the instructions - it was Auntie Helen who first got one!
It's a bit early to be downhearted though - once the weather is a bit nicer, we'll start storming ahead...
