Not long to go now. Easy to spot when I had the heart attack. Slowed me down but did not stop me.

I expect to ease back. I went a bit mad this year because of the charity ride.

That right there is what the 6k club is all about. The man's heart nearly gave out and he shrugged it off and got back on his bike again. There just aren't enough kudos on Strava to give him. Chapeau Dave!

Well done Dave, congratulations on a mammoth effort this year!
Good luck on the Rapha Challenge...and surviving 5 parties

One party down down. Another one tomorrow. I'll try and lay down a ride in the morning which will mark the start of the Rapha challenge. I doubt I will make it to 500 but I'll give it a shot.

I find about 50km per party is sufficient.
Congrats.

Give your man a thanks for that one norbs. Looks like it's time to make the call and put my climbing goal in for next year.
Dave, well done on an incredible year and best of luck with the Rapha 500.

I will put a final total for my year on here next week, I don't think it's going to increase by much though. Will get a few short rides in, but no long ones.
Thanks again and roll on 2013!
