A totally rubbish 154 miles this month
But on the plus side the downstairs has a new floor, repainted walls/ceiling/skirting, deep clean of all the shelving etc, so the Sainted Mrs Morrisman is happy

So December will contain 246.2 miles come hell or high snowfall to make 4000 miles for the year.

Wow, last time I was on we were on page 41. Now its 111! Excuse me if I don't do a proper catch up...

Hope everyone is healthy and cycling in our ever worsening temps. I got back on the road again after a month out (no excuses really, just sheer laziness on my days off from work..pah). A slow but steady 28 miles @13.3mph. Not groundbreaking, even for me, and I really felt Sawyers Hill the first time I went up it. Made me laugh to think the shape I was in circa last years Ridelondon, I breezed up it without breaking sweat.

Ah well, 5 steps back, all my own fault.

Hope all is well in the world to all.x

Well after yesterday's 50 mile struggle, I decided on a windy, hilly 60 miles today, as you do!

It hurt, but at least for the right reasons! Nunburnholme Hill (at 25 miles in) unfortunately got the better of me, I could only manage it in 3 sections!

Totals for Nov:

480 miles
11200 ft of climbing
15 rides

I had 3 visits from the PF today on 2 bikes. Hopefully that's my lot for the rest of winter.

Only just managed to get the imperial century done for November. I might have overdone the climbing mind you. Past centuries were mostly rolling hills. Todays ride was hill after hill.

November stats:

780.3 miles
45,537 feet climbed
58 ft/mile avg

Did I mention I'm addicted to hills?

Blimey you do like climbing, I did double your mileage and less elevation, which I am quite pleased with as I hate climbing

Haven't been out since doing my 100 mile sportive on 5 oct, lots of reasons conspiring against me really, but managed to get out this afternoon.

40 miles. Tough, hard and tough again, I thought a few turbo runs over the last few weeks would keep me fresh- WRONG. I also went out this afternoon only having had a bowl of cereal for breakfast and a banana at lunchtime - silly I know but I couldn't hang around as I was trying to get back before it got too dark. Fail on several counts really, too far having done bugger all miles in the last couple of months and no gas in the tank meant I was truly shot with 10 miles still to go.....in the dark and rain. Oh well never mind I made it home and filled up on chicken and carbs!

Its what I tend to have all day, but it can be later in the day, and can do up to 60 miles on it, though I might have a coffee or two if I stop at my friends, but I must admit tend to feel the last xx miles depends on the day.

5th Oct. that is a long time off, no wonder you felt it, I think probably a combination of the two.

A short ride for me today. It started out quite misty, but cleared up and was quite warm for this time of year. I've only managed 94 miles this month, if it makes anyone feel any better.

Birthday trip up Blencathra was lovely - Sharp Edge up & Halls Fell ridge down. Lovely clear blue skies.

Decent progress!

Yes bit silly on my part, having done the "100" I thought I was superman, a few half hour sessions on the turbo don't really relate to two and a half hours in the saddle especially when you add in cold, wet, hills, wind etc!

Impressed! How do you get the time to go out in such crappy weather?
