I'm trying to take it easy, so allowed the Search2Retain NRS team to tow me up and down Beach Rd this morning - it was an enjoyable ride....if you disregarded the galeforce wind...
Keep up the good work all!
cheers

I appreciate you riding in the cold mornings, Dave. We rode one morning setting off at 7:30 am which is after you leave and one of the guys stopped- he had hypothermia! Doc said it was made worse by breathing in fog which probably had ice crystals in it. Average temperature for the ride was 1 degree C.DaveOZ wrote:I just worked out I have to ride 200km per week for the rest of the year to hit 6000km. While I have done this in the past I just can't see it happening but I will give it a shot. Looks like some long commutes are needed.
I might stick to the afternoon rides.
200km/ week is not that much more than the 130 odd you need to do anyway to make the target. Does that help?

I have done around 170 per week for the last 2 weeks so I will see how I go.

Managed to complete the Moreton Bay 100 on Sunday my first 100k for the year. Also rolled through 4000k a week or so back keeping a little ahead of target which is pleasing as we are nearly over winter.
Looking forward to spring.

I too passed my original target some time in the last few days and with the worst of winter now behind us, I reckon I'll be upping the target again, again, before too long.

Breezer1 - I see that your 'cycling target thingy' appears to be working. Is it back up and running again??? Not that I've ridden since Sunday, mind you - I cannot shake this infestation!

I'll have to look at bike journal also.
Reduced Kms and efforts for me on commutes last Thursday and Friday, and for a while yet, after getting a hamstring strain in a special sprint stage Friday before last. Slight pain when doing seated climbs or seated accelerations, but spinning and out of saddle climbs/efforts fine (ouchies when walking up inclines and sitting in one position too long also). Pain not too bad, so it's a low grade strain, but I don't want to make it worse by pushing it.
