    Was away for the weekend so was off the bike between my commute home on Thursdày and my commute in this morning. After this mornings effort im down to roughly 210 and I'll put in a bit extra on the way home to get me down to about 190 or so. Still targeting Saturday to finish and that should be achieveable. :)

    Today was the day I finished. :) I had hoped to pass the mark on the Corkagh cycke track where I did so many of the kms but I could only get out at 10 this morning and the Orwell lads and lassies had it booked so it wasn't to be.

    Ive got over ten days off at Christmas so im hoping the weather stays decent during that time frame and i can get closer to 11,000 by the end of the year. Ill throw up some full stats later but for now here's a screen shot confirming the ten thousand. A couple of beers are on the agenda this evening. :)

    Currently at 19,547.

    This week will be a bit of a lame one due to work and family commitments. I'll probably only get out Sunday (and possibly Thursday) which is unusual for me. Have to take the car to work for at least 3 days this week due to being required to be at meetings elsewhere during the day. :(

    Im about 750 off 11,000 myself. Gonna give it a bash. Ten days off after Friday will help. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Slightly more modest but I just noticed I'm about 450 off the 5k mark myself. I'll take that since I've only really taken up cycling this year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,936 ✭✭✭✭Wishbone Ash


    Reached my target on this morning's club ride! :)

    So same goal for this year(also planning on training for and running the marathon this year too) and with that in mind I got out there today and put in a half decent shift. Sunday is my usual update day so will stick to that with just todays ride to report so far. :)

    The weather has been great and managed about 90km over the weekend which made up for not being able to commute most of the week due to a two inch screw that completely destroyed my tyre. :(

    Anyway i'm 202km ahead of where I was at this stage last year. :)

    Totals for week/year
    Total KM: 151.9km/202km

    Coming back to this a year on from when i started the thread with 2017s update. Marathon went out the window pretty early. Running anything more than a 5k really turned out not to be for me. Still going to keep my cycling aim to 10k and have invested the running time in some other activities.

    Totals for2017 so far.
    Total KM: 3,361km
    Total Hours: 161hrs 44m
    Total elevation: 9,067m
    Weight:76kg

    So roughly double what i had done at the same stage last year. Will be aiming to be 6,000+ by the end of July so hopefully that will help me shed those final few kilos too. :)

    Nice one Rob. Keep it up! :)

    I won't hit the ten myself this year. The vast majority of my cycling has been commuting and I've only hit 100km or over once all year. Still though I did roll past 7,000 this week so if I get to 8,500 I'll be happy with my lot.

    I did reach my 70kg target during the year too. :) Currently 3-4 above that due to a lot of recent events and outings but that's all over for a few weeks now so I'll get back on track there. Looking back at my OP here I was 93kg in May 2016 so I'm pretty proud of myself on that front. :)
