Milestone

[Nigel Randell[_2_]]

This evening's ride brings up 1000 miles for the year so far. I know that
it's small beer compared with the mileage put in by some of the AUKs and CTC
folks I ride with, but I'm pleased with it - especially as it took me until
the first week in July to get to the same mileage last year.

Next big challenge is this coming Saturday - first 300km audax (Alfreton to
Skegness).

Congrats. Although I don't measure my distance accurately, I am still
only at about 800 miles. (Only commuting at the mo., 17 miles a day
since mid Feb.)

Well, you've done better than me - by the time I get home from work only
125 miles this year (all done in the last 5 working days).

Have a nice time on saturday, it should be warm , dry, and not windy.Of
course we expect you to do it on your fixed.
I prefer to estimate my annual milage.It's better for morale.

to be honest i haven't a clue as to my milage every now and then i get a
free weekend and it might be a good day for a ride milage varies wildly
though as i mtb as well.

i work in differnt areas sometimes on bike sometimes not. quite often
can't be assed to park in kingston etc so roll down on bike.

one thing is clear is i don't use the car as much, living in edge of
london as i did on the edge of the beacons. as a bike can get to places
with less fuss most of the time. may not be faster, but is a cheaper
simpler way.

The conditions were all of those things, a marked contrast to the last
couple of audaxes. The fixed stayed firmly in the garage on Saturday - the
full range of gears on the regular bike were used.

Good for you. I was very pleased to see my spread sheet total up over 1000
about two weeks ago.

I haven't even done a 100km ride this year. Longest so far was 52 miles in
the heat last Sunday. About time I did though, if I'm going to achieve my
(sorta maybe wobbly) target for the year of the Manchester 100, but miles
this time, not km like the previous time.

Have found a companion who cycles at my pace, and wants to do the 100 miles
as part of her preparation for a long cycling trip through New Zealand,
Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and other places. So the likelihood
of achieving 100 miles has gone up a bit. Did 50 miles on Sunday on a group
ride, and after delivering an exhausted novice home sprinted a further 2
miles back home, which isn't a bad basis in May for the ride in September.

And I'm extremely jealous of the planned trip.
