This is best I could manage so far this year, (I will get 6000) :
Count: 118 Activities
Distance: 5,770.02 km
Time: 217:19:35 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 41,302 m
Niggling back & flue mid year are the excuses.
I'll try for a slower group as the bike shop rides are mostly athletes, its just not enjoyable being dropped most times.

Take extra care around the Xmas break.
Cheers
Brent

I am pretty chuffed to see the effect of a very solid couple of weeks. I see that I am not far out of the top 800 in bike journal which, for this late in the year, is way above my normal. I now pray for a really bleak snowy northern christmas to keep those damned yanks in doors until next year.

I now have a miniscule distance to get to the target. I expect to get there early next week. Anything after that is gravy.
Thanks to all those who give me an encouraging cheerio every morning and those that stop for a brief chat to break the monotony. I trust that you are also going to celebrate a great year.
Now log off, get out there and ride. And ride. And ride.

I've signed up for the Festive 500, so hopefully I might be able to squeeze another 600kms out of the year all being well.

I'm signed up too, knowing that I will fall short of the 500 goal but am keen to get over the 75% point. No holidays for me except for the public holidays and weekend, I will be riding before work and then commuting home on my work days to give the total a boost.
Mr MM has holidays so he will smash it

150ks to get to my revised total..

I agree Colin, hope for a nice cold festive season up north. I won't be riding Friday and after next week I'm off work for a month which means minimal or no riding. I want to stay in the top 1,000 but they will have 10 days to make it up on me. As usual I'll start the year well behind the red triangle but I'm thinking I'll aim for 6,800 next year and see if I get to revise it again.

I'm in a similar boat, working through the holiday week, but I'm planning to make lemonade and commute to work on those days - and my commute is a 112km round trip


I daresay your revised total is toast!

Nice work Grant! It's a nice feeling.
Good work DaveOz, Lovemybike and mustang - well within striking distance now. Johndec good chance you will be there this week, sorry to hear you lost your father this year; hope next year is a much better one.

congrats again!
I reckon there is a good chance the year will end up at December 31

326 for me Dave - I did 20kms this morning and would have kept going if I hadn't had to turn up at work sometime!

I really appreciate the encouragement from everyone here because at the start of this month I honestly thought I wouldn't get there - I feel like I might now. Fingers crossed.
Good riding this weekend everyone!
