Man. the wind is just not letting up, rode up to the RNP yesterday and coming back into the cold wind nearly finished me off. It was nice to do a longer ride though, even if it was freezing!

A few cold mornings up our way but at least the days are enjoyable when it warms up. Wind is up a bit at the moment.

Can you advise where and how you get that goal status thingo as the one I was using has died?

Hi Graeme,

That's mine. It's a little fragile but hasn't broken down for a few weeks now . If you PM me your strava id and your distance and/or elevation goals, I'll set you up. It just gets the data from your Strava athlete page.

Well I worked very hard to make my personal target of 2500 km by the end of June, finishing a cold and windy week with a 57 km out and back along the bridle track from Bathurst. This included putting a length of fencing wire through my rear tyre. Spent the last week stuck in Canberra with no bike or kit visiting Mum in hospital after she had a stroke that Saturday night. She is not doing particularly well. Been a truely staggering number of visitors. That has to say something about Love. Life is all a bit unknown at the moment, possibly always was. The cramps from suddenly quiting the bike seem to have subsideded now at least.

Good fortune with all your targets.

Well Sunday's cold ride is Wednesday/Thursday/Friday's headcold, and it's blowing a gale here again tonight. I can't recall such unpleasant windy weather at this time of the year before. Oh well, it's nice and warm inside and the tour is on

[kenwstr]

All the best to you and your mum too Ken.

Ta macca33, Mum is just not progressing at all, too sad and uncertain to elaborate. I'm still in Canberra but went for a late ride today with my brother. Borrowed a helmet and a fixie. It was good to ride again and the fixie was an interesting experience. Never ridden one before but I think its a pretty neat option.

It usually happens in February but Ive just passed 1000km

[grt046]

Nice going Mustang. Good to see you back on the bike.

[grantw]

Yeah, you'll be passing my soon enough

[DavidS]

Woohoo, finally in green, 0KM ahead though.

This will change back to brown over the weekend but hopefully over the next few weeks I can get it into green on an ongoing basis.

How do you set up those cycling goal graphs you guys have at the bottom of your posts?

[DavidS]

The sigs like mine, I cobbled together after Strava tightened access to their API and statmonkey's stopped working. They're a bit temperamental as I'm just screen scraping the profile page for each athlete, but if anyone wants one, just PM me your Strava ID and goals (distance and/or climbing) and I'll set one up. They're updated once a day around 11:00pm.

Karl

I got Karl to do mine, thanks Karl.

We rely on the expertise of a member to set these up really. This one is linked to Strava uploads. I just have a simple cycle computer so I do manual uploads to Strava and also record my rides on Bike Journal.

Will there be an obligatory photo stop ?

Speaking of which, from my commute today. Pity I didn't have a decent camera with me

[DavidS]

Got a new bike in March last year. Passed 10,000KMs on the new bike today. Commuting certainly adds up to a lot ofKMs.

Crap, why has that sig gone brown again?

Wouldn't be a good ride without a few photo stops
