Hmmm, sorry that's just wrong. Does it honestly bother you that much? I often finish rides knowing that if I just went round the block it would round it up but it doesn't really bother me. Still, if it keeps you happy.

I must admit, I aim to do a distance and always go by it by a tenth or two, just in case Strava rounds me down

Remember Mo, length is important - when you are on a bike!

Just a few mellow rides today, no big miles...though my legs really want to keep going. I don't know if it was being lost yesterday but I felt a little mentally fatigued and thought it's best to know your limits, so short rides till Sunday, more so as I'm at work tomorrow. How @Supersuperleeds does the miles he does and works full time is a tribute to his forum handle! Double super for sure! Even whilst being off work, I've only just managed to stay close to those miles! All the same, I'm over 50% through the current challenge, with two more days before the half way mark, so feeling very proud!

Thought I'd replied, but can't see it.

I do more mileage when at work than when I am off, 25 miles each way, five days a week soon adds up. With it being little and often I find I can go for weeks without needing a rest, saying that, that rear wheel has knackered me out this week though, forecast to rain tomorrow, so may have a day off

It's not the size, it's what you can do with it that is important.

We are still talking about cycling aren't we?

Would you say that you still enjoy cycling virtually every day, or do you get odd days when you have to force yourself?

I reckon I can count on one hand the number of work days when I haven't really wanted to ride, on those days I just shorten the commute. I'm lucky that the shortest route between home and work is only 5 miles.

I never force myself to go out on a weekend, many a time the alarm clock has gone off and I have looked out the window and gone back to bed. I then do extra miles during the week to punish myself

I've only been away for a few days and the thread page count has gone up massively.

Can someone please precis what has happened since Monday night?

Andy has had the week off and ridden a shed loads of miles

Nigel is dazzling every one with his data

Mo is talking about penises.

Ok - thanks for that SSL. Nice broad sweep of subject matter as usual. I'm passing on the last point as I have one already and don't want another.

On one of my routes I have a center line reflector that I make sure I go past before I turn back. I want to make sure I get credit for my full 10 .
