[Supersuperleeds]

is that what you are aiming for this year then?

12,000 was my original target, I couldn't remember how to change the sig, so I left it as 10,000

keep it in a notepad format on your computer... delete old from signature, edit mine to your name, your quota and put text back in to signature...

Your original post said 10,000 miles btw! which was the bit I was asking about... (even I have accepted defeat and changed my target to 10,000km!)

I think @Supersuperleeds is aiming to cycle the distance around the world in a year. or nay on dam it

I don't know Emma 2,000 Km's is still possible, I need to 1,600 miles for the 6,000, I am looking to do that, 1,200 miles shouldn't be beyond you.

I've done Pole to Pole already, don't think I could manage 25,000 miles in a year, 18 months maybe

I upped my target from the original 5,500 km that it was to 10,000km for this year... if I get my ass out of this chair it is more than feasible, but in the last 2 weeks I have only covered 20km! and some of that was on foot pushing the thing home! Currently have to work on my CV... thinking about getting back to work at least part time - need to earn some money so I can go back off around the world again... and my CV is +10 years out of date and I need to work out the waffle behind ditching my job and going off to cycle around the world.... plus the last 2 years of recovering from ... and somehow I can't remember the names or versions of some of the software I used to manage - sadly I probably need to work it out again and get back up to date! <YUCK> just the thought is horrible...

Usual Chertsey jaunt, with some cadence exercises, did 18.6 miles @16.8 mph
Average cadence 94
Elevation 390 ft which is too high but I'll take it as its usually too low

Erm.......what happened to probably doing less and maybe doing some fishing! Changed your mind already?

I don't have long term targets but sometimes make up short term ones

I tend to get a higher figure on Strava with the 705 than the corrected rwgps, though it is close usually.

@SatNavSaysStraightOn I have times where I have done much the same, as for C.V. mine really is none existent, either the company's I have worked for no longer exist or in the last case unlikely to get a reference, own fault ect.......
That was seven years ago

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

at least the last place I worked for was a school - they generally survive. the previous employer was taken over within 6 months of me being made redundant, the one prior to that no longer exists and the part of the army I worked for prior to that well that needs little guessing either! How anyone will ever get a reference for me is beyond me! working on the waffle as we speak...

That's next year

I will slow down over the next few months and I had a really big July (I think) when I did over 2,000 miles in the month, so there is no chance of me hitting 19,000 miles.
