That'd be right. just as I catch up, ya start to go longer. :lol:

Bnej, they predicted rain until Sunday for Sydney, but today dawned clean and clear. Never trust the BOM, that's my motto.

I'd normally jump at the offer, but I know you like to do your long rides on weekends, and it'd kill my racing on Sunday if I rode 200 on Saturday.

When they take a break from racing over Christmas, I'm going to have a go at 160, then maybe a 200 after that.

And hey, all those who have registered on BikeJournal, don't forget to make your journal visible to others, so we can marvel at your accomplishments.

If I can manage to keep up my present regime, I'll be averaging 1100km per month (give or take 100km), so you'll be doing pretty good I reckon to catch me. :lol:

Perfectly put :D

Yeah its been even worse watching you guys clock up the kms too! Yesterday had about 30 degrees bend in the elbow and was in that much pain couldn't even get my fork above my chest to eat my tea. Today, almost have full bend and only hurts when I try to lift something or put pressure on it. Reckon I'm gonna be back in the chase way before expected :twisted:

Hey, what happened to the menus on bike journal? I just logged on and they're gone :x . Seeing as though I'm way behind on the year (only started in late Sept) I wanted to compare on a monthly basis.

I am with Kev on this one .... I think it adds to the "competitive" spirit of this if we can see how the km are made made up.

You know we the can go and see how creative Kev is is logging his "kilometres" for example :lol:

In BikeJournal.com just go to Riders -> Edit My Profile -> Unclick Private Data. This just makes your journal available to us :)

Andrew

Boy and back in the chase with vengeance. Well done on the recovery ride ... 96.66 km! You know with your ribs and wrists hurting I reckon you should take it easy for a few more months but :twisted:

Hey, that's not fair :P

I'll have you know that all my km are legit. They must be 'cause my legs are killing me and I seem to be forever cleaning the darn bike and chain. :lol:

I believe you Kev, honest! :lol:

I tried to catch Needsapush this morning by riding in the gym at the hotel to no avail. My shoelaces got caught in the pedals and as soon as you stop pedalling the stupid bike's electronics switch-off! Had to estimate my distance based on the last noted reading before I stopped.

Find taking a book to read while I rode helped.

Will try a Polaris machine tomorrow.

Cheers mate, however maybe I should of listened to Richard's wise advice a bit more. The ribs paid the price and hurt like hell in bed last night. You'd think I'd learn a valuable lesson but headed out with the mrs for a ride when we got up :roll:

Ahhhh painkillers!

I'd suggest a well deserved rest mate! Please! Your killing me with your rides to work. I do an hour some mornings commuting but on the mtb with the racks loaded up can only get in about 22kms.

Ah, that's the joy of having a 40km each way commute on the M5, plus a decent bike locker system at work, and a personal locker and shower facilities. Make the ride in so easy. Means I only need to miss out on one commute a week to replenish the supply of clean undies and socks at work (uniform is dry cleaned at the company's expense), as well as stocking up on fruit, vita brits, and other essentials to get me through the day.

Needsapush, I see your top speed is 81.92 km/h :shock:

I'm new to this game, but that seems mighty quick. Did you ride into a well or something??

Yep. Still no menus this morning. i sent an email to comments@bikejournal.com letting them know. that was the email at the bottom of the page minus the spaces...

According to the polar personal trainer site my November rides total 739.8 km's. How does that compare to others here?

Bummer. A dumb question but I assume you are going to the homepage directly and getting the problem? I know that with some views the menus disappear.

860.20 for me in November.

I just login which takes me to my home page. Certainly no menus there where they were before. I also noticed that making my journal public is now only available to premium members. I thought that I still had a week or 2 of introductory premium member benefits too...

To log a ride now I have to use a link to edit my profile, I submit changes, and then my journal comes up which I can then use the + button.

Happy to say I'm safe and not at a bottom of a well. :) Did it on Sundays ride and it wasn't too crazy as the road was smooth and pretty straight. Don't think I'd fancy falling off with just shorts and a jersey on though :?
