Only three days of commuting for me this week. Didn't ride today - had trouble sleeping last night and had less than fours hours of z's... I had a nap on the bus on the way in though.

Welcome Back Simonn...
As you can see - I didn't do all that much riding in the time you were away.

if the weather remains the way it has been, wet, I am not sure whether I will catch up or not...am getting sick and tired of riding in the rain...wet weather is not helping reducing the number of flats I have been getting of late either

Congrats on the 5K - massive achievement for the time you've been riding this year!gretaboy wrote:well I kicked over 5000 k's this morning....now just under 900 behind Tailwind

Don't let the weather get you down - it's going to be like this for a good few months yet. As long as you can dry out both ends of the journey, it's not too bad.

I will keep riding, to stubborn not too, but it is depressing the rain and the muck that gets on the bike is thick. I get p*&%$# off at the rain that is intermittent, rather it just be solid as then the rain jacket doesnt get so hot
my gear is spread around my cubicle everyday trying to dry out, feel sorry for the people around me, they must get sick and tired of it

I am coming, rain hail or shine I am coming....
doesnt help that I lose a days commuting each week due to personal commitments, makes the task that little longer

This morning - still in my PJs - I prepared both bikes so I could walk out and choose one. Went back in for my cuppa and decided to catch the bus and read a book instead.
I think I have lost my mojo.

Enjoyed the ride in this morning but the weather is getting to me - if I don't put on the raincoat it rains and I have to put it on; if I do put it on the sun breaks through and I get to enjoy the sauna suit - I just can't win
Still love this challenge - am planning to leave work on time today to get in extra kms to make up for no commute on Monday due to rain and the public holiday - the legs are going to be jelly tonight for when I walk the dog.

Mugglechops - you better keep riding above 100km per week or your next - still hope I can get into the single figures before winter ends and everyone comes to get me.
Got to love this challenge
