Is this directed towards me doing extra km last week? As I don't train for anything and 90% of my rides are to work etc. but I put it this way, if someone normal commute is 10km and they do 30 how is this different to me adding the extra Km's to 70 to mine!
Sorry Poohkies - was not directly aimed at you - I didn't intend to upset anyone. Jason and Gretaboy have set up the rules based on what they think is fair, and I'll go with that.
I went and got sucked in by the stupid argument that every commuting challenge has at some stage. I'll shut up and go riding now...
no problems Andre, just you used 3 things that happened last week to me! rain (and at 2:30 in the morning with the BOM site saying there was rain all over brisbane, Im not riding in the wee hours with that much rain coming down) 2 yes my rides are all over the place I work Shift work, and sometimes I just can't ride, knacked, no sleep for 2 days, I'm on my feet at work all shift, walking back and forth so my legs don't get a rest, So I will have a brake for a few days as per anyone who wants there legs to recover, If i can add an extra distance or do part of the river loop back and forth I will! I seriously didn't realise it was such a competaitive thing, I thought it was more to get people riding more and fitter in turn getting other people riding etc! in turn more people riding / commuting to work, better conditions for everyone! My wife is now going to hopefully add extra distance to her commute in the morning as she's knocked nearly 10 minutes off it in the last 2 months
