I've been slack this year but...

It's been a bugger of ayear cycling wise - too much time away from home in the caravan, to much other stuff around the home and, to a significant extent, too much sleeping in.

So while the meter continues to record my every km I have not been looking at it or recording it. And, for the first time in a decade, I have not been doing my usual ride-my-age-in-day three or four times in the year.

Yesterday, after a return from a couple of months on the caravan over east, I bit the bullet and, an hour or so into my ride to and from Perth it just felt right to do the age thing.

I'm a year older this year but I managed a touch under 66km. Whoo whoo.

I'm gonna be heading to Queensland in March next year and after that who knows where. I'm not much into New Years resolutions but I really need to get out of the way early in 2018.

Was that 66km on a unicycle though?

I've done bugger all too. Well down on other years.
The main excuse is time pressure with teenage kids and increased work hours.
Motivation has been down a bit also.

Was that 66km on a unicycle though?

Goes without saying.

Thankfully I'm not a Yank.

A mighty effort nonetheless

I've been out with injury since Mid-April. Coming it at around 4,500km for the year, which is probably still pretty high compared to a "normal person" (as my doctor calls people who don't ride!).
I feel like a sloth, have gained a pile of weight, and just looking forward to 2018 and just ignoring the risk averse suggestions of the doctor and living my life.
