[Mustang]

Sunshine Coast Bike Fest is on this Sunday, entered & paid then, the dreaded back let me down on Monday while checking the tank filters before the rain event.
Not so bad by Wed., got in a wrong position & down I go again, this time , confined to bed. FTW!!!!!!!

I,m going to seek specialist advice next week, as its a recurring problem, I may make the Brisbane to GC next week but not looking good.
Ah well the money goes to a good cause.

Keep upright guys & don't put off a ride, just because.
Cheers

I share your pain Mustang. Pinched something down low and just sitting upright hurts. Luckily nothing ever hurts while I'm sitting on a bike.

Bought some spiffy new gloves....

I dare them to say they didn't see me now!

putting it like that I might be able to then.

I don't ride every day but I could make a few extra kms up on days I do.

[Mugglechops]

I passed last years total yesterday. Only a few years ago I used to struggle to hit 6km. Will hit 8k today.

[chriso_29er]

Great stuff

I'm going ok with a weeks riding up my sleeve and only 1050km left for the year. Will be able to step up my commutes again now the weather is getting nice and going on 2 weeks holiday soon

[Mustang]

Nice going Mugglechops 8000+ wow thats great work.

I've never paid much attention to these 6K/10K etc conversations, but I thought that I'd drop in and mention that I passed 6000km for the year this week. I only did 5000+km last year, so I am going to substantially improve on that.

Well done Robert nice increase on last year .... what's your target now? I am unlikely to match my last years total unless I pull my finger out

Well, I don't really have a distance target as such. I'll probably see what I end up with this year and use it as a target for next year.

In 2015 I started commuting to work by bike. Last year I added some group riding. This year I've been doing more group riding, and a few races, and have done a bit of training for that. So my mileage has been increasing correspondingly, without me having to think about it too much.

I think that I'm lucky that I just really, really enjoy riding my bike!

[Mustang]

Back on the bike today. (20km )
After falling 393km behind with a back injury I doubt I will catch up. Fact of getting on & putting up with it.

[Cardy George]

All done!!!

I'll upload sometime soon, but according to my calculations it's a cooked goose!

[Orion]

Ticked over 5000km this morning. Just managing to stay on track at the moment.

[Abby]

Well, I've never ever passed 4000km in a year, and I've now done it!! WIth the kids weekend sport commitments for the year done, I've got the 5000km well in my sights - which will see me beating my previous best annual mileage by over 1000km.

Feeling really good about how its going, and great launch pad to bigger tings again next year...

[Mustang]

WEll done you GREEN guys.

[skull]

WEll done you GREEN guys.

Yep

Maybe next year I can get back in the green. To think I would do over 10k a year and now struggle to get a couple of thousand up now.

Wow 10K a year is a fantasy for me, I once did 7K, I hope you get back. I will try a ride on Sunday if weather permits.
Ahh it takes all year to get your fitness, then 5 minutes to lose it.

[grt046]

WEll done you GREEN guys.

Thanks Mustang, nice to see you are back on the bike, but what about those in Gold .... Cardy George and Mugglechops before he reset to 10k big effort both of you.

I rolled past 7k today on a new set of wheels ..... my first time on carbon (Craftworx UltimaCarbon C38) A very happy chappy. 567km to goal and on track

Did my 3rd century ride this year today with 105km. Just over 700km to go!

[Mustang]

Strava tells me there is a difference of 45km to here. I have had one manual upload due to flat computer.
Refreshed the stats through Strava, we will see if that works tomorrow.

[chriso_29er]

Managed to find the time to do my first 200k ride yesterday, leaves me with less than 500km to go for the year

My bad. Updated to High Sierra and seems to have changed the environment cron picks up. Should be back to the usual amount of bugs tomorrow

Congratulations.
I have that ride to tick off.

[lewie15]

I've got 1300 km to go, so cutting it fine. December is always my biggest month though with holidays and the Festive 500. Think I might just make it, but i'm going to have to put in a huge month!
