Couple of months time and you'll be riding while a lot of us here in Australia will be looking out at wet skies!

I am going to try and soldier on through winter - while I've commuted in many a winter, never 'trained' through. I don't like that word, training. Whats a word that describes enjoyment, quiet time and suffering simultaneously? Either way I think I should be able to do it, I've had a few wet days recently and quite enjoy being out in the elements. Something different.

About to have 14 days off the bike... just to many things going on this year.

total gain from what I can see above.

Why so surprised JC?

because people like you do a lot of miles with a fair chunk of climbing. have I become one of them???

If you haven't already you're high risk.

I haven't really been able to do any climbing for the last 2 months after I snapped my new frame.
The loaner I had was too small and I hit Mt Gravatt one day 13 times, and tweaked my knee again.
The new bike felt good up O'Reilly's so hopefully I can build back up again.

my two weeks of no riding has hurt me in my total....but now with doing some riding on weekends I am hoping to claw back what I lost

I am hurting, last three days I have done 220km (3 x 50-60km rides, 1 x 20km lunch sprinto, 3 x 7km commute) with 4220m of elevation.

I think I'm skipping the lunchtime ride today.

Wasn't going to go for a ride, I said.

Then.

Wasn't going to beat the potatoes out of myself, just going for a spin, I said.

Then.

Smashed some pedals.

Can't help myself haha. Well at least I've got my 250km for the week done.

400m of climbing and 45km done today. Yes

2 rides. 205km. 1063m climbed.... Eh... I guess its okay so far this week. Next week. Hills

Mt Wellington last week, 20k for 1,189m climbing . The 'mountains' on the Sunshine Coast look pathetic now . But I guess if I loop enough of them together it could work out alright.

Don't forget:

105km/2500m this morning

Try the 5 peaks on the Sunny Coast (I havn't, only heard they are a grind in one day)

that the one with mt mee?

Mt Coo-tha, Mt Nebo, Mt Glorious, Clear Mountain, Mount Mee, Mount Mellum, Bald Knob and out towards Maleny. That'll put your legs to the test. That's easily in the 3000-400m mark depending on your route like going down the Goat Track from Mt Nebo and then climbing Mt Glorious etc.

I'd happily do coot-tha, nebo glorious
my mate reckons the hardest ride he's EVER done is the climb to glorious from wivenhoe. this segment:
