Last day of work for me for the year so it looks like tonight's total is it. Just over 7,200KMs, an excellent total for me. Not sure if I can achieve that next year. January will be lean as I'm not back to work until the 21st. Then I'll play catch up for a while.

Anyone know if the BikeJournal progress bar will continue. I assume it is acceptable to continue to use this method if the progress bar continues to work.
Is BNA forums abandoning BikeJournal? I hope not as the league table is great on that site. Not sure I want to bother with Endomondo again.

Norbs, what is the thinking behind the 6999. Surely we aren't shutting out those intending to do, say, 8.000km. Or having a mass of narrow-band target threads in addition to the existing two? I note that even your own target at years end is 9.999. (Congrats btw) Beacuse we also have a 10k club, 9,999 seems the logical upper end to me.norbs wrote:The only rules are you start the year with a target between 6000kms and 6999kms.

Though I assume that it does make compiling a periodic list more awkward if that is intended to be up and running again.

The thinking is that to link into the 6K theme, you start with a target of between 6000 and 6999kms. It matters not if in Feb you want to up the ante, as long as you start with that goal, all is good. I started the year with the aim of hitting 6999. I went a little berserk after I signed up for the charity ride. This year, in the words of Lance Armstrong, is not normal.ColinOldnCranky wrote:Norbs, what is the thinking behind the 6999.

I agree that the upper end COULD be 9999kms, but what do we call the club? The 6000 to 9999km Club?

Aiming for a bigger year of climbing though. I'll up the ante to a minimum of 6999m per month on the way to a 100000m target for the year, more time on the short steep climbs in the area. I'll add conquering Mellows Rd non stop on the road bike to the goals as well. My best attempt so far is 2 stops.
