A wee update as its been a while.
I went through a rough patch, each week I was struggling to hit my weekly targets, I went from being well ahead to almost 260 miles behind target.
I attempted Everesting and failed, to be honest it was a half hearted attempt, I soon realised I was fighting a losing battle with the 34x28 that I had fitted.....so essentially gave up after 19 ascents of the chosen hill which equated to about 7,500ft of climbing in 26 miles. I night a med cage derailleur,new chain and a 32 cassette for the next attempt on a different hill.
Thankfully I got my mojo back and started putting in the miles again, I got it down to about 60 miles behind but after a mechanical on both bikes I lost over 100 miles but I'm clawing it back.....currently about 100 miles behind.
I attempted Everesting again, this time on a 3 mile climb with 1,050ft of climbing roughly. I started at 5:50 and at 21:15 I gave up. I couldn't go on, after 122.9 miles and 22,790ft of climbing I was done.
So I'll be doing it again for a third time, third time lucky I hope.
I attempted a " as many miles in 24hr" ride but failed miserably,it was doomed from the start and I only managed 166 miles. My goal had been 300 miles so I'll maybe try that one again.
I'm not doing Lejog now but what I'm doing instead starting this Saturday 22nd is to cycle the equivalent distance over the 9 days that I had planned. So 960 miles in 9 days. But I'm going to try for 1,000 miles. ____________________ "Scooters are for men who want to ride motorcycles but prefer to feel the wind on their vaginas" |

Keep going dude, what you've achieved already is exceptional in my book. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

I'm not angry I'm disappointed .
10k miles in a year is an insane achievement. I was happy enough with my riding this year and I bet I didn't break 500 miles. I'll get a donation though asap. |
