You know the red mist has descended when you think "Hooray for School Holidays, I can do some extended commutes" or even worse "Curse these Public Holidays and Annual Leave, they are robbing me of commuting kms"jasonc wrote:cameron is catching me again. with a number of days off over the next month, i will most likely lose the lead
I have to commute without the bike tomorrow, bugger.
Cheers,
Cameron

The last couple of weeks has been hard to get away from work so my kms have been a bit lower than normal. Hope to get more kms over the next couple of weeks.
The weather has been great lately. Am just enjoying riding at the moment.

Why? You're steadily increasing distance on me. Stryder is the quiet achiever. He doesn't seem to post much but is now only a couple of days worth behind me.jasonc wrote:You should have run to work.

On the other hand, you're looking tired, you need a holiday...

Didn't ride yesterday as we had a function in town and it's only a 2km walk with nowhere to leave my bike so missed about 40kms yesterday.

No its mine and you shall not pass Now I'm feeling motivated to ride to bible study tonight and not use the car regardless of the cold.Mugglechops wrote:I made it to 6th spot on Friday. I don't think I will be there today though.

If your doing 40km per day it will be yours soon enough (I won't be able to match that)- great work.
Also just to let everyone know I will have about 100kms (or so) to add to my end of month numbers as I choose to ride the folding bike to work on Tuesdays to facilitate soccer / netball practice and the timing of the pickups with one car (to keep my kids & wife safe). This will be till about August - I just don't want to upload the numbers twice a week - I'd rather be riding.

It would have been sadder if you hadn't ridden - I know its getting harder to ride as its getting colder so quickly at the moment - I'm lucky that I have Mugglechops breathing down my neck, miss a day and loose 6th spotfind_bruce wrote:Not sure which is sadder - that I had missed entering my commutes for 3 weeks, or that when I did I only moved up 1 place.

I missed today.

Then tomorrow is an adventure training day in Kiama so I am not going to count riding there as a commute as it's not actually working

If you are riding there.... doing the training, and having fun and then end of day riding back then that is a commute... just because its not work work shouldn't matter... to me the aim is more to have an extra reason to use the bike to get to point A rather than take the car

Mugglechops - as much as it pains me (not really) I agree. It's a commute pure and simple.cancan64 wrote:Mugglechops wrote:Then tomorrow is an adventure training day in Kiama so I am not going to count riding there as a commute as it's not actually working

If you are riding during the training for fitness then that wouldn't be included "according to the rules" but I would have no problem including that either.
Most of all enjoy the training - sounds like fun - be great to see some photos or a video.
