EDIT: Well done TailWind on passing 5000km commuting for the year.
All things being equal, 12000 commuting kms should be on the cards for 2012 ...
Edit: Syntax.

The youngest two kids new bikes picked up on the weekend are nice and with them riding more and prefering to ride places instead of getting in the car there may be more chances for weekend "commutes". My no.2 kid is very keen - yesterday after leaving her friends birthday party at three she informed me that there was still 2hrs of daylight left so where could we go.
The fruit shop, then back to the local lake and lastly to a playground - it might be slower but it is fun. The only one who looses is the dog (at the moment) - she can't come as she can't keep up but we are planning to buid her a trailer (which will also fit a small esky).

Thanks mate and you are right - Mrs Westab also enjoys riding so the car is only used when we must. The only down side is my average speed but who cares it was slow anyway.gretaboy wrote:Westab...ur a lucky man, enjoy every moment with the kids....doing 5 k's with your kids is worth 100 of mine anyday

have lost a crap load of weight in the process too
wouldnt mind giving a race a go now, but I also know commuting k's are very different to racing k's...and I would have no chance against the younger brigade, still too heavy

Looks like you are reeling me in at the rate of ~100km/week at our current mileage...I don't think I'll do much more than 270km/week at this point...so you'll probably be screaming past me sometime in August.gretaboy wrote:Just scraped into 2nd this morning, thanks to Simon's holiday plans....only got 1100 or so k's to conjure somehow to even get close to TailWind...BUT...at least now I have him in the distance as a very very small speck

Some advice - which even I am yet to take up - is to stretch the hammies (and all else of course).. but tight hammies = tight back/neck/shoulders.
Yes I rode again today - but my avg speed was just under 24km/h which is about 10-15% slower for me on the roadie.
(Note - my Endo app is not set to auto pause so my avg speeds are based on total time not just the moving time.)
