give me a snorkel and I'm in Mexico or if I wanted to arrive dry(ish) somewhere in the middle of China

Checked out that link and i would just be approaching the Belarusian border
Strava decided to be a pain and charged me for our Cafe stop on the Cat and Fiddle hence the horrendous time /speed

Got out - 14.95 miles @ 14.98 mph (darn!)

This is good - put your mileage for the year in and it will calculate a radius to see where you would be in a straight line from your home.

I have nearly cycled to Athens this year!

I can only get the map to go to 9,863 miles then it stops, and when I zoom out on that it goes funny, pretty sure I've done enough to get to Australia, just need to start cycling back now.

Two rides today, first one with our lass, 26 miles at 9 point something mph average. Second one on my own 37 miles at 17.4mph, second one was a bit breezier.

Your somewhere in New South Wales, it's around 9,400miles to the Northen Territories... I'm hanging around in China for a while if you want to meet up on the way back

Can't wait to get home to try this. I'll have to use MapMyRide data as I only started using Strava late in the day, so not all my mileage is on there

Yay! Finally got out after burning myself out durring the summer. Good to be back on the racer... much faster than my commutes which have been clocking in at around 12mph, though that's on the Hybrid

Did the GPS go astray at the end or was it really that flat?

You could just use google earth and the ruler. Just outside Kuala Lumpur, for this year.

One night after a tough ride I thought damn, I feel like I have ridden to the moon and back. I did a search and found out those Earth/Moon illustrations you normally see online and on TV are not to scale. I would like to ride that distance in my life time, only about 230,000 more miles to go.

It's really that flat! The A38 from the outskirts of Worcester to the M50 is very flat, shy of one small hill. The local cycling club use it for one of their 20 mile time trailing circuits. It's great as long as there's no wind about!

Not enough years for me to do it Rocky.

Sadly, I was thinking the same for myself.

Went out for a post-weekend ride to make the most of the sunshine - smashed my average speed, so very, very happy

Great rides recently, folks.
