Good to see you back! Tried my best to handicap myself in terms of the challenge (well, not me - a moron motorist), but I'm still riding, albeit a bit slower and along less adventurous routesgretaboy wrote:first commute since Oct 3....and still got pain from/in my left buttock from the accident
life has conspired against me, plus the fact that my work has the flexibility to work from home....

Hope that is the last incident you ever have.
Hope we all have this - take care out there as there seem lots of fruit loops about at the moment.

100km x 16 days = 1600kms - now I am worried - or am I just putting ideas in your headMugglechops wrote:I only have about 16 more days in which I can commute before the end of the year. A top 10 place is starting to look shakey.
Looking to add a few extra kms tonight on the way home - hope the weather holds out. Riding this time of the year is very nice but my mate at work's wife just had a a kid so I am on my own riding after work so it is not at much fun as normal.

I was also in 13th place or such on BikeJournal and dropped back to 22nd...went past you today on that Jason and will hopefully increase that lead next week. If I have a good to very good week next week I should get close to Simon, unless he pulls out a 100-200 k ride over the weekend...am hoping he doesnt lol

did a short ride this morning. left leg feels good. right leg isn't as good (my left leg was the bad one). will try a longer ride maybe sunday arvo and if that feels ok might commute a couple of days next week. if that feels good and the physio is happy will go back 5 days the week after, with any luck.gretaboy wrote:how is it going...what is the prognosis?jasonc wrote:

You'd never have been ahead of me if I hadn't had the cold/flu-of-near-death last month, so consider it a bonus that you were at alljasonc wrote:no fair. have been injured. hoping to be back commuting next weeksimonn wrote:Noticed that "Include in statistics" was not checked on about a months worth of commutes.

I'm not. However, I will be doing at least 2 probably 3 200kms before xmas. If you get too close, I might make one of them a 300 or 400 he hegretaboy wrote:I should get close to Simon, unless he pulls out a 100-200 k ride over the weekend...am hoping he doesnt lol

Thought I'd change the thread to this section...gretaboy wrote: I have the ability to add another 40 k to my ride on the way home, but whether I have the drive/determination to do this and whether my body allows me to do it as well will be the telling factor
if I can factor in a few 5 day commute weeks I may just have a chance...
~130km, 5 days/week? Those are big numbers - for me anyway. Respect if you attempt it ...
I'll have to keep a beady eye on your stats
That would give you an advantage of ~350km/week over me, with almost 5 weeks remaining...and if I don't work the last week of Dec, it's going to be very, very close

couldnt do those sort of numbers everyday...I feel shattered as it is now with what I do, but could maybe do 2-3 days a week. My partner will think I am crazy and an idiot...and so will I...all pie in the sky tho unless I actually do it
if I can get close, 500k or so close I will be happy....too many weeks off during the year...and not commuting on a friday/monday every second week has hurt me

It's been a long year and I've been lucky to remain consistent enough to accumulate the mileage....
Not sure if I would have enough left in the tank for a fight to the finish, feel a bit weary and in a commute rut myself, even with the comparatively short distance I do on a daily basis.
