Don't worry, you will still be getting ahead of me.

For those using the phillip inspired distance counter, methinks it might need a tweak as it still seems to be reporting numbers from 2012.

Yeah I'd noticed that, so I changed to the one that the 6K riders are using.

Don't want to look at last years distance anymore, makes me feel bad.

First day back at work today awesome ride this morning though. Have a good week all.

I think thats cause peeps haven't updated their BJ rides thats all...

Mine is now (or will be by 12 midnite) , How is everyone going thus far, am goal is to increase the climbing this year, here comes the pain

I updated my 2013 goal, made it public, etc but it didn't seem to help.

Well done
Just rolledthrough the 1000k myself. Hopefully it will be a tarmac meeting free year for everyone else as well.

G'day mate, nice work on last year, 10K should be a done deal for you this year, happy days to ya

Geez, 05.15 and 29 degrees this morning, great ride but wired being hot and dark out

Yeah 29degrees is a bit uncomfortable I feel for you. I did that Rapaha 500km Strava challenge between Xmas eve and New Yrs Eve during a bit of a heatwave here in Perth and I remember starting out just before 6am and it being something like 33degrees with 100000% humidity

That humidity is worse by far, good going mate. Well this morning was a lot different, 11 degrees with a cold wind and drizzle, good ol Melbourne for ya. Not as bad or any where close to Qld and NSW

I saw 28.5 at 0430 this morning! (Nth QLD). I had 1.5 litres of water on a 2.5hr ride when I normally only take 0.75L. Still got a headache from not enough fluids!
Rode at 5km to meet someone and I was already dripping wet....
I'm going to have to start stopping to top up the biddons if this keeps up.

And I had arm and legwarmers on this morning at 6am here in Adelaide... crazy weather eh.

ahhh this is where all the cool people hang out?

Geez legs of led this morning, even going down hill was hard work

135k ride this morning with about 50k into solid headwind. The return trip was fast though. Pity I was solo otherwise it would have been even faster.

Great ride mate, strong headwind too

Pretty solid wind here lately, died down a little bit today.
Km's are gonna drop off as my bike has failed again.
