I had a target of 5200kms (100km per week) at the beginning of the year, but then revised it to 6000km around the middle of the year. Unfortunately due to illness and having a month off, I'm not going to make that 6000km target. But I will make my original target of 5200kms. Better luck next year.

Reached my 6,000km goal yesterday. If I had not had a broken arm and been off the bike for several weeks I could have made 7,000km so it seems. Next years target has been set at 8,000km :D

Well done michael_w.
I reached my goal of 6999 and am now trying for 7800. (Lucky year health wise). I will see how I go but might join you on 8000 next year :)

Now that I know I can stretch to 7,500km, what's an extra 500km next year? I'm in.

I'm not going to make it this year. I'm at 5005, and I will probably make it to 5200 (100km a week average) but I won't be able to do another 990 before the end of the month now that I've stopped commuting.

I have already exceeded my original target & should comfortably make 8k - am trying to motivate myself through December to make 8,500.

I have increased 1k each year so that would make next year 9k+ gulp

Just got past 7,000km on the ride in this morning. (7,015 before I head off home.)

WIth less than three weeks to go I will not make my revised target, mabe another 200 to 300 kleft in the tank.

It's not the end of the year yet and it's summer in Oz so get out there and finish with a burst. Good luck to y'all.

But Colin, does it count as half because you've only got one wheel? Or is it actually equivalent of double?

I got out for 100kms today, first one in a long while. Not going to make my goal but might just be able to get to 6000 if I apply myself :-)

Very sorry to hear of your injury.... Was that the only damage? (It's bad enough on its own but what about road rash etc?
Get well soon!

At the beginning of the year, I never would have thought that I'd make 6000km for the year. I only got into regular cycling this time last year.
Im stoked that Im way past the 6000km mark and should see 9000km for the year.

So add in commuting to the mix, my target for 2015 will be 10,000kms :)

Gee Lewy, you go to extreme measures to get the most out of your medical. Hope it all heals up well and we'll see you on the bike again around February. Well done on the yearly total though. Despite your injuries you've managed a respectable distance, especially considering the amount of dirt and sand involved.

With my imminent retirement I've been a little pressed for the last ten days. Due to the extraordinary needs of transitioning my work to others it is getting awkward to maintain my normal riding routines to the fullest. I reckon that will persist until I leave the workforce on new years eve and I expect to manage only 150 to 200km more.

This morning I have logged 7202 for the year so I'll be around100 to 150km short of target. (Still well over my original target though.)

On a more positive note a few minutes after I leave work tonight my old unicycle will have clocked it's 39,000th km. :D

Have I finally got enough KMs to stop worrying about you?

By the way, congrats on the retirement, enjoy.

Not quite. You have enough to beat me this year. But you still have next year to worry about me. :twisted:

Heal well Lewy, ouch that sounds sore. At least by falling out of a van the bike should be OK and not needing any work :)

Congrats on your pending retirement Colin, I hope you get many opportunities for extra km on the bike.

Safe riding everyone and best wishes over the festive season.

Another tough start to the New Year Lewy ..... hope you are soon on the mend and back on the bike.

Welcome to the group of retirees Colin .... it is not a bad stage of life. While you are no longer a threat to DavidS this year next year may be a different story. While he has seen your threat off he seems to turned his attention to me and is nipping at the heels .... with less than a decent ride between us it might be close.

A merry Christmas to all out there and may 2015 bring all good times

Cheers

Next year may be a big challenge, my work will be at 2 locations and the extra location is closer so I'll have to sort something out.

GT, you have little to worry about. 99% of my riding is commuting and the last commute is tomorrow. Looks like I'll get about 7,690 this year. Best result yet for me and my average speed has risen from about 22KMh to 24KMh over the last few months which isn't bad considering I have to go through town twice a day.
