I did have a long stint of training indoors this year during winter. Which would have probably cost me maybe 1000kms. Still short tho.

I have 903km remaining to hit 10k km; it's a tough ask but I am keen to have a crack over the break

Mate, take a page out of LDR's book and just do a couple of night rides. You'll make it.singlespeedscott wrote:Secretly I had hoped that I might actually be eligible for entry into this club by the end of the year.

I've still got to squeeze in 75k for my 13500. I think I'll just make it by Christmas day.

A slipping seat post clamp and an allergic reaction to something have set me back a couple of days.

This distance is a first for me (and perhaps my reason for not posting until now - i wasn't sure that i could make it!)... what a year - riding rain/hail/shine and what and a great way to (almost) finish 2013 immersed in cool temperate rainforest with a few of my great mates!
Bring on '14! Cheers and Merry Xmas!

Today I just followed a mates wheel then decided to smash it when he tired, so only a short effort.

Great effort anyway mate - just do your best and feel happy that you have next year to try and beat it!

Lots of working from home this year, so less commutes. Also been sick a few times, and with two young kids I have only done a small handful of weekend rides.
Hopefully I get more time in 2014. I am capable of doing a 200km ride without any ill effects the day after, so I was thinking that Audax suits me, since I prefer to ride solo at my own pace.

Cheers to you and Jules21 for making me appreciate the 9000ks I have done instead of focusing on the 900 I haven't lol.

I cracked 13k this morning, after a fairly decent trek from Moorabbin to Sorrento and return with a few mates - they certainly challenged me! Was a good morning for cycling here.
Have a great Christmas all.
cheers

So far the weather is playing its part...heat and humidity aside, but better than the wet stuff!
