232 for May, which is a tiny increase on March and April. On 1,000 for the year so far, which is halfway to my first year of fatherhood target. Should hopefully beat May easily this month, as we're planning a Bristol-to-Exeter (basically redoing this - http://www.strava.com/activities/156277658 - but shorter and without the Blackdowns) at the end of the month.

288 miles for June; missed 40+ on Saturday due to injury but did about 30+ unexpectedly yesterday when i took the afternoon off and pootled up and down the estuary.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 1 July 2015 08:01 (nine years ago) link
570 for me - been squeezing in the rides whenever I'm not working

A disappointing 166 miles for June, well below target but my bike was out of action for two weeks.

jfc NBS! how do you feel?
― the most painstaking, humorless people in the world (lukas), Wednesday, 1 July 2015 23:13 (nine years ago) link
Good. Hoping to get serious miles in this month up to Ride London on 2nd August.
― Let's go, FIFA! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 2 July 2015 10:40 (nine years ago) link
As opposed to the unserious miles last month.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 2 July 2015 13:43 (nine years ago) link
They were frivolous.
― Let's go, FIFA! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 2 July 2015 19:21 (nine years ago) link
A whopping 646 miles for July, plus I'll be doing well over 100 more tomorrow
― Let's go, FIFA! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 1 August 2015 17:21 (nine years ago) link
704.7 mi and 37,873 ft for July, a lot of commuting though.
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Saturday, 1 August 2015 17:34 (nine years ago) link
117 more today. I'm shattered.

232 for July; weddings and weekends away and poor weather. I never do much in July. Hopefully I can do more in August.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 3 August 2015 11:13 (nine years ago) link
394 for August, not great considering I did 117 on the second day of the month
― Let's go, FIFA! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Monday, 31 August 2015 17:03 (nine years ago) link
A piddling 92 for August (although Strava ate maybe 10+ miles of commuting by being shit); two vomiting bugs, family commitments, inclement weather, and other circumstances.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 1 September 2015 12:57 (nine years ago) link
Since I been in the hospital since I got ranned over Aug 5 night, it was about 80mi. The future of riding and lots of stuff is pretty unknown- like said, i'm still in a hospital, but I'm getting by at least. lot's of great support and help for sure.

oh no! i guess i missed this --- that's awful news, Hunt3r, i really hope things are moving forward for you, however slowly
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Wednesday, 2 September 2015 16:35 (nine years ago) link
Shit - sorry to hear that
― Let's go, FIFA! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 2 September 2015 19:09 (nine years ago) link
Shit, I hadn't noticed that either. Get well dude, that's awful.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 3 September 2015 09:57 (nine years ago) link
Oh man, so sorry to hear that. Get well and let us know how you're doing.

thx all, gonna visit my home for the first time this weekend (a month exactly), I'm pretty stoked.

231 for September.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 3 October 2015 04:51 (nine years ago) link
138 mi. on trainer, it's so dif from how I've ever done it. I can read, really watch tv or surf...there is like, no objective happening with the bike but the 'just keep going easy.' Z
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Saturday, 3 October 2015 12:47 (nine years ago) link
How are you now?
― Let's go, FIFA! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 3 October 2015 19:51 (nine years ago) link
OK, thanks! basically, trying hard to recover many bits of normal life, but it is not an easy recovery, physically or mentally.
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Saturday, 3 October 2015 23:55 (nine years ago) link
All the best, stick in there.
387 for me for Sept.
― Let's go, FIFA! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 4 October 2015 20:18 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, all the best dude. I have no idea what happened beyond what you've said here, obviously, but if it's as bad as it sounds and you're back on a trainer already that's good going, I think.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 5 October 2015 08:31 (nine years ago) link
32 miles on Sunday morning took me to 2,001 for the year so far, meaning I've hit the post-baby target I set for myself. Admittedly, a huge chunk of those miles have come as commuting rather than epic weekend adventures, but beggars can't be choosers.
Is it possible to get another 500 done before the end of December, I wonder?
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 26 October 2015 10:44 (eight years ago) link
Just under 300 for October, but my end of year slump has arrived now - all enthusiasm for cycling is draining away as the weather turns...
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Monday, 2 November 2015 08:26 (eight years ago) link
167 for October.
It's probably not possible to get 500 more before year-end; my weekends are massively booked-up this month...
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 3 November 2015 12:01 (eight years ago) link
343 all indoors and good god it's not fun for me anymore
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 3 November 2015 17:48 (eight years ago) link
How are you doing?
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Tuesday, 3 November 2015 22:11 (eight years ago) link
Holding in there, lots of steps, thanks. Physically, I'm improved but parts of the damage are kinda, just done, you know?
Strava shows my first real independent ride today, as I had to drop off my ballot. Doc and therapists signed off on riding ability yesterdy. Between the need to actually deliver the ballot, and the facts that I could bikepath the whole 10 miles and also that 75 f'ing gorgeous degrees goes away after today (maybe til next May), I was committed to riding.
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 3 November 2015 23:17 (eight years ago) link
239 for november
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Tuesday, 1 December 2015 23:20 (eight years ago) link
Didn't manage many miles in November but did enough to get over my 2015 target of 2,015 miles, though disappointed I didn't hit it earlier.
― michaellambert, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 00:34 (eight years ago) link
305 mi. Just got bad clavicle repair news :( more repair required.
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 01:12 (eight years ago) link
Hang in there
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 10:08 (eight years ago) link
59 miles in November; a couple of busy weekends and a 2-week stomach bug.
And yeah, hang in there; more repair sucks but it does mean repair which = getting better.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 11 December 2015 11:38 (eight years ago) link
196 for December giving 4,416 for the year. Not as much as last year, but my second best total by some margin.
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 31 December 2015 12:53 (eight years ago) link
238 for Dec, 4433 for year, but the mileage it really got to me this year
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Thursday, 31 December 2015 16:15 (eight years ago) link
286.5
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Monday, 1 February 2016 23:07 (eight years ago) link
Zero, I think. Or close to zero. On January 7 I played my first game of 5-a-side of the year, and with about ten minutes to go I twisted / hyper-extended my right knee. It is still swollen, nearly a month later, and I have an MRI scan tonight to try and figure out what I did to it. I've been told to cycle to aid recovery but it's been so wet and windy I've not thought it was safe to do so yet; any risk of a fall and aggravating it when I'm injured and not confident just sin't worth it.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 3 February 2016 10:55 (eight years ago) link
Ouch
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 3 February 2016 22:57 (eight years ago) link
Take care man, hope the scan went well.
― wishy washy hippy variety hour (Hunt3r), Thursday, 4 February 2016 02:24 (eight years ago) link
So the MRI scan shows cracked cartilage and a slight tear in the medial ligament, suggesting that I dislocated and immediately relocated my right kneecap. Fun times. Told to get back on the bike as soon as I'm comfortable, which is basically as soon as these fucking hurricanes stop.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:23 (eight years ago) link
There aren't normally this many storms, are there?
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 11 February 2016 00:18 (eight years ago) link
I think the fact that they're named now makes it feel like there's more. But yeah, this weather is shite.
