End of Year: Mileage (nerdy stats alert)

They were frivolous.

A whopping 646 miles for July, plus I'll be doing well over 100 more tomorrow

704.7 mi and 37,873 ft for July, a lot of commuting though.

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.

394 for August, not great considering I did 117 on the second day of the month

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.

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

Shit - sorry to hear that

Shit, I hadn't noticed that either. Get well dude, that's awful.

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.

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

How are you now?

OK, thanks! basically, trying hard to recover many bits of normal life, but it is not an easy recovery, physically or mentally.

All the best, stick in there.

387 for me for Sept.

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.

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?

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...

167 for October.

It's probably not possible to get 500 more before year-end; my weekends are massively booked-up this month...

343 all indoors and good god it's not fun for me anymore

How are you doing?

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.

239 for november

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.

305 mi. Just got bad clavicle repair news :( more repair required.

Hang in there

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.

196 for December giving 4,416 for the year. Not as much as last year, but my second best total by some margin.

238 for Dec, 4433 for year, but the mileage it really got to me this year

286.5

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.

Ouch

Take care man, hope the scan went well.

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.

There aren't normally this many storms, are there?

I think the fact that they're named now makes it feel like there's more. But yeah, this weather is shite.

Been told not to ride up hills. Knee still swollen. Next specialist reckons it might be ACL now. Fun times.

:-(

Take care man, time and therapy and docs if necessary, you'll get through.

419 for February. Feel almost guilty saying it, seeing as I seem to be the only person left not struck down by physical calamities.

191.9mi in feb

feb 14 - 416
feb 15 - 315
feb 16 - 118

this wet weather can fuck up

I forgot to do March because I was on holiday. I will rectify this before too long and all will be right with the world again.

I rode my bike for the first time in fuckin forever on sunday

:-)

i have learned that the gearing on my road bike just is not suited at all to the hills around here. i dumped all of them into my granny and was still having to stand on the pedals while my pals were happily spinning away at 95rpm

biking is hard :(
