Cycling

10,000 miles is on the cards...6306 miles to date. It's still 740 miles a month, but should be ok, especially if I can make progress in Aug, Sept and Oct before it gets cold.

Wow, ! Is your bike holding up?

Just about!

Don't buy drugs kids. Take up cycling and they give you them for free.

I want to see before and after pics. Just kidding there, but do you put a lot of money to keep it going?

No, bikes are quite easy to maintain really and very simple to repair. A chain lasts about 6 weeks, so I always change the cassette at the same time, the odd cable breaks, the derailleur might need a tweak, a tyre here and there...occasionally a bearing. My bike isn't a good one though, it was quite cheap, but I hope to get a carbon model next year.

I hit the 10,000 miles mark today! That's 29 miles a day as an average.

That is amazing! Well done

Well, this year will be 6500 miles or so, by design. I'm happy with that, 10K was a bit too many really.

That is very impressive, fd
If I could bike that much, it would take me to my home province. Nearly 6000 km's.

I know what will happen now that I have said this, but I don't get ill anymore! I don't seem to get colds...despite everyone and I mean everyone at work getting it. Maybe there is something in this keep fit lark!

It's hard though, it's bloody hard to get motivated when it's 2 degrees....

Summer is coming!

I've got a fucking cold right now. I feel fine, but I'm coughing up all sorts of gunge.

I've not cycled since mid-October. I can't be doing with cycling in the dark or the cold. I've been running though. Not as much as I did in Australia, but around twice a week outdoors, plus the gym. I'm 7kg heavier than I was in May though!! It's outrageous! However I'm not fat like the Fat Freddie period. My clothes fit me just as well as they did 7kg ago; whereas 18 months ago they didn't. Apparently my body fat percentage is 18.5% which I think is borderline acceptable.

I need to get into shape though because I'm hopefully climbing a wee hill in April.

I've made another potential life change as well - currently on day 7 - but I won't say what it is until I'm at least 3 months in. That way when I fail I can just lie.

Glad to hear that fat Freddie isn't back!

You've either given up drink or red meat?

Well obviously I'm not giving up alcohol!
Just red meat? What sort of half-arsed pathetic effort would that be?! No, I've gone full leftie (not FULL leftie, obviously).

Oh no. You will live longer, you just won't want to!

I'm on day 9 and it's been easy so far! I haven't had to have fast food yet though, and haven't been to a restaurant.

I'm Donalding like nobody's business though

Wrong thread, apologies!
