Your'e not wrong. Some of those guys from the acf do some serious mileages.

It would be so depressing to find out that Simon is 14 and only records the miles he does on his paper round

I'm on there, only just started using it. i think it's great...

Especially as I am using my cycle training to get into better shape, can use the calorie calculator to estimate the colries used in a ride.

Very handy website. made me extend my commute as I want to increase my position in the table! I'm not competitive...

FFFF, just looked a your Journal.

which route do you take from claydon to stowmarket? my regular weekend run is from Ipswich to stowmarket and back through coddenham, barham and cladon.

I have also just extended my commute (as i mentioned) to go from ipswich to great blakenham then back through claydon... nice roads out there.

I think Plax's miles should count double - there aren't many flat bits in Wales

I think so too , double points for me, like at Tesco!

Hi dudi, welcome aboard. From Claydon I take the old main road which leads to the A140 / A14 junction, head towards Needham and then 1/2 way down that road take the right hand turn signposted "Alder Carr farm" and Creeting. Stay on this road all the way to Stow. It's a great country road, nice and deserted but on high ground (well it is for Suffolk) and very open and boy do you notice it when it blows. I often return on the same road rather than return via Needham as the road is so much quieter and pleasant.

I have found that I have been upping my mileages since using the site and found some really nice roads north of Barham which I have never been on or discovered before. I had originally set my goal of 5000 miles this year, which I have never achieved before, but I have already upped that now to 6000 which I think will be very achievable at my current rate.

Where do you commute to / from ??

Hi Plax, keep up the good work. Nice mileage

I live in Pinewood, and commute to the town centre... it's about 3 miles as the crow flies... but i never could read maps and find myself leaving an hour early for work every day and taking a ride out into the countryside...

Next time I go out at the weekend, I'll take that route, I know the one you mean... you can also take the road out towards coddenham and ride through the lanes out there... it's a nice quiet lane all the way to woodbridge as far as I remember...

My aim is to hit 6000 miles this year too, reckon I should hit it... just about.

Nice one. Another one to get competative with on bike journal then !!

I am off this week and on one of the days will head up the coast as I am trying to get the miles in prior to the Dunwich Dynamo in July and I am not really sure where I will end up yet, will just follow my nose which is often the best way. The most I have done on a single ride is 30 miles but hoping to at least double that but much will depend on the weather.

Horrah, doubled my previous best with a 60 miler this afternoon and and my legs still felt like they had a few hours left in them.

I am so glad I changed my saddle from a brooks b17N to a specialized toupe gel as it is sooooo much more comfortable

 

[frog]

Just added this weeks miles. The total is rising very nicely

Regrettably, I'm off the bike until Tuesday so I won't be doing all that many next week

Frog, are you not on the bike at the moment ??

 

[BentMikey]

I'm on there, I've been using it the last 3 years. Username is lsmike, but I've not done much mileage this year.
