I only use a 24" ungeared "trainer" so the distance I have set for the year is probably about the practical limit to what I can do and is not a certainty.
I was scrutinising the log I maintain and it seems that maybe around September or October I will get past 20,000km on the beast. That's about 2,000hours of riding. So am wondering what I should do to mark the occasion. Perhaps take a day off?
Naaah. Certainly not.

Hey Mate, I've noticed that there is nothing at all in the area for your signature, have you put the info into you're signature yet... if you have something should be showing up, either your progress bar or 2012 missing data should be there...dino1969 wrote:So sorry to be a nuisance LTR, but my banner has not come up.I have checked the old post re: correct set up and as far as I can make out I have done all the correct steps?

Click user - User Control Panel (top left of screen), then click profile, second button from the left (as seen below) then click edit signature.
Once you have that done, copy the link as I have in mine, swapping my user name with yours dino1969 as it appears on BJ and then click submit. That should work once you have followed everything else.

On your signature box you can see a number of buttons, in the middle is the Img one, in your signature click it and between the [img] [img] place this link http://philip.whatsbeef.net/bike/bna/dino.jpg
I just tried it in mine for you and the '2012 missing data sign came up' which means by 12am tonight (fingers crossed) it'll work for you.

I was really enjoying my ride this evening, feeling good; but as i got closer to home i realised i would come up 2km short!!!!
Nothing for it but to add in a loop of the Australian Road Race circuit; so after one of the most glorious descents you will find on a bike (Fisken Ave), i clocked over 30km for tonight's ride at roughly the same point that Simon Gerrans kicked away to win the Australian Champions jersey about 6 weeks ago - alas i wasn't remotely going anywhere near his speed. Then, i got to climb the hill (cat 4) - definitely climb like a sprinter.
1004km for the year, 8983m climbed.
I love the progress bar-great idea! It is keeping me honest. Many thanks to Live to Ride for sorting out my signature/progress bar.
Happy riding!

Does anyone sitting in the top ten of the ACF Bike Journal leaderboard, actually have a day job?
and if so, where do you find the time to work?
(BTW - Well done)

Then you have his fun rides on the weekend. And when we have to go down to Busselton, he has been known to set out very early and ride his bike down, and I'll meet him at the Fat Duck in Busselton that afternoon.
So yes, he does work. But he just rides a lot too.
