And the spreadsheet says I will be a little short of last year. No significant injury or aches issues and I usually crank it up for the November ride-to-work spring challenge thingy. So a good chance that I can match last years. Whatever I manage I will be pleased with it.

Lost a few weeks off the bike in Feb (mechanical) and it has taken this long to make up for those missing km's. At the time, Mrs C+W had offered a loan of her heavy, steel, flat barred hybrid with basket commuter - but I DO have standards (OK, they're pretty low ).
Anyway, still behind on my climbing target but pleased to be back on target for distance coming into the weekend.
I've noticed the change in temperature this last week and had to pull out the long pants and thermal base layers (predicted 3°C overnight).
Happy riding...

Meanwhile that Celesteboy seems to have scooted off in front of me. Hopefully I can reliably reel him in over time.

Been back on the bike for about the last 6 years, missed it greatly. My boy (10) is also getting right into it so good to share the journeys although he is becoming difficult to catch. Wait till he gets a Cervelo...coffeeandwine wrote:Welcome Remnant, new to cycling as well or just the 6K club?Remnant07 wrote:Hi party people, another Newbie there for this club, love a challenge despite the daunting prospect ahead...

Perfect weather too. A classic SEQ autumn day. Cool morning, first wear of the arm warmers for the year, and a warm day. You couldn't want for more.

Tell your partner you have to have a spare bike!!!!!!!!!DavidS wrote:Broken spoke means that I only rode 12KMs for the last 2 days. Leaves me still a fair way behind being in green.

Hahaha, yeah I was pretty stoked with my 80km loop on Sunday, but it pales in comparison to what others are doing. I need to pull my finger out and make sure I get at least 3 river loops in a week to stay ahead of the line. My commuting is bugger all and I struggle to get a morning on the weekends to go for a long ride, given all the kids' commitments these days. I jsut have to HTFU and ride through winter.Gary78 wrote:And here I was coming in here to share my 80km ridesinglespeedscott wrote:Managed 121 km this morning.

I now have picked up a bug. I'm to wrecked to even ride home from work this evening. Got to get a lift from a mate. I've been told by my work mates not to come in tomorrow.
With the way I'm feeling I don't think I'll be riding for the rest of the week. Was planning to clock up 280km. Oh well.

They're running a KOM/QOM on the Cootharaba Rd climb this year. They have a couple of grades, open and 40+. No chance for me.

Back home and to work this week although had an RDO today and took my son down to the BMX track where we ran into some of his friends and they had a great time racing around in between watching a state level rider having some fun.
Got a bit of work ahead of me to get the climbing target done this month but a public holiday and weekend left should give me enough time to get it sorted as well as keep the triangle at bay on the distance front as it got within a few days of catching me.
Trying to catch up on the thread properly too. Glad to hear your replacement bike is in your possession and being ridden Graham. Well done on the charity ride Andywho and best of luck to duds2u and Mustang for the Noosa 160.
