@Stonechat ditto what @SatNavSaysStraightOn says, been building and repairing them for over 25 years, just today semi sorted out the O.H.'s, she wanted to try a copy of linux a few weeks back, so installed that on a separate drive, not as a dual boot but as two separate o.s's (i.e. choose the boot drive in the bios) trouble is it f'd up, so rearranged the hard drives and reinstalled windows, so everything is fresh.

Just updated my database, and we were talking a few weeks back about how if you keep records there is always something, well tomorrow I will pass 18,000 miles.

20 miles more than me!Nothing to put in it really.
I'm not too bothered about miles this year. Might even become more of a fair weather rider as I am fed up cleaning bikes and have stuff wear out quicker in bad conditions. It's been a bad few months financially and buying stuff for bikes is becoming lower priority.

Clean them? A bit of dirt protects them I say.

@Mo1959 I know what you mean, though I haven't spent anything on the bike really since the chainset in Sept. Though I am in need of new brake blocks, chain and whilst the front tyre seems like it will last forever I know it wont theres £60 or so before I start could do with changing the rear cassette from 12-27 to 12-25, another £20-25 and still no nearer to doing the Carleton other than everything is now stripped of it, new studio lights whilst a bargain to me are still expensive, and I think it will be another year on the Viking rather than a new frame (bike).
Besides Mo the weather in your neck of the woods is usually much worse than here, we have hardly seen any snow, a bit of ice right enough, but nothing to write home about, temps whilst colder than last year (though difficult to give any sort of accurate figure, as neither this nor last year have I/did I do much riding) haven't been as cold as 2013, plus I have better clothing, positively cooking this aft.

Its usually updated on strava, besides apart from a few clipless moments when I first started using them I have only come of the bike twice in 18,000 miles both down to lack of concentration really, and both times i bounced pretty well, besides when I compare the 10% of the distance you have done, you don't much feel like updating MCL
and I didn't start using it till about June/July last year.
