2013 Strava Climbing Challenge

[boss]

Hit 180k yesterday morning.

Had a big crash a few weeks back (ride down hill > car stop suddenly for duck > run into car > land on ground > car evacuates the scene). Add that to the torn quad stuff I had back in August, pretty happy with where I'm at... all things considered.

If I can stay in one piece and my bike stays in one piece and no ducks enter my trajectory I will hit 200k, I reckon.

[Roub]

200k is a top effort - Hoping to push my goal out from 120k to 130k, but Festive season might have other ideas!

[singlespeedscott]

I'll be happy to crack 100k for the year. Nearly at 90. Pretty happy with that given that the goal at the start of the year was 60000.

[Daccordi Rider]

I've hit 205k, my target was 200 so might see if I can get close to 250k. Crit racing is costing me a bit of meterage but also need to get ready for the Alpine Classic.

I hit 170km for the year this morning with 1200m in 70-odd kms.

Well done JC, I got to 200k this morning, just need to pull my finger out in terms of distance

[DTdotcom]

It's all relative, I need a 2400km Dec

[biker jk]

Ticked over 150k after today's ride, so achieved my goal for the year.

[Husondabossguy]

Damn nice achievements guys

[jasonc]

hit 180kms this morning. 190kms won't be possible even if I live up Mount Coot-tha for the next two weeks.

[InTheWoods]

I've hit my goal too, just didn't notice. Up to about 125km now

[cavebear2]

I've made it past 150k which I didn't see as very likely at the start of the year. However the Sydney to Melbourne (1215km) with 15k helped me get there.

[boss]

Yep I clipped over 200,000m last weekend. Decent first year in the saddle

Great effort. I had a friend who rode the SM1200 and so I was following the progress of the riders. Day 2 was a killer.

[singlespeedscott]

Nearly there for my 100k climbing target. So close. Maybe next week.

[singlespeedscott]

Woo hoo, cracked the 100K mark this morning on a stinking hot late morning ride.

It was 32 degrees when I was climbing. God knows what temp the bitumen was? All I know was it was sticking to the tyres

Great stuff Scott. Not far from the 10k club too!

Tell me about it. I went slowly on to a side road/driveway to let some traffic past and suddenly my tires looked like

[Ross]

303570m so far this year.

303570m so far this year.

Thats got to be overall honours doesn't it ?
Closing in on 200 k for the year myself. I'll just make it

[jasonc]

wow Ross amazing
190k is just out of reach. my target was 120k so I'm doing OK.

[jasonc]

well bugger me - 190k, done

[ldrcycles]

I'm just short of 95,000, no way i'm getting 5,000m in one day .

20 coot-thas will about cover it

[ldrcycles]

Or 9 repeats of Bellthorpe, either way it ain't happening! 4,000m in one day killed me when I had fresh legs, and my legs atm are about as fresh as a servo sanger. Still going to try and get the remaining 218k in tomorrow for the Festive 500.
