better than any distance you do by yourself. kudos
That's unkind. You must have missed all of my post(singular) in the centuries thread. :wink:
I'm beating you with 2 centuries this year. One was an imperial

Rolled past my yearly goal of 10,500KM yesterday, reasonable timing, mid December. Don't think I'll quite make 11K this year. Should get past 10K of commuting tomorrow. That's 2 years in a row over 10K although a little down on 2017.

Well done. Always good to enjoy the last few weeks of the year without the pressure!

I had set my target to 10k as I planned to roll less than ‘17 (12300) but snuck over 12 this morning. Have narrowed the elevation gap and now at 115.5k up which is my most ever (‘17 was 108k). Buderim 9 training has helped that!

Thinking of a break over Xmas/new year after the B9...
Good luck with the Buderim 9 tomorrow. Hope the weather holds off

I'm going to try for 17,500km. Just got through 16,500km today. I think it will be very close, I might miss that target but I'll try. I will certainly be having a rest at the end of the year.

Unfortunately a lower back issue has put me off the bikes since mid November, and out for the rest of the year at least. So will be finishing the year with 5130km of my 6000km goal. Better luck next year :)

I'm aiming to reach 20,000 km by years end, my lowest total since 2009 when I logged 15,118

I have during the year so far achieved:
71 imperial centuries or longer inclusive of 96 metric centuries or longer [aiming for 100 by 31/12 :D ]
My longest ride this year was 404.2 km on 9/12/18 - my 2nd PBP qualification ride.

Also getting close to 300,000 life time kms since 19/10/2004

Cheers

those are staggering numbers Perry!

I'm at 13.5k and 170k elevation. My motivation has dried up since Tour of Bright. I might try and squeeze in a Rapha 500 though

Hi Jason & Jules,

Well done on those achievements this year! I've only reached 111km elevation so a pretty flat year that started with some small distances during January & February. I rode my slowest ever Alpine Classic (200k) in January, this was a alarm bell not to be ignored!
My body reached some all time lows this year - issues for ITB, lower back, hands & various muscle fascias from shoulder down to toes. After almost 3 months visiting a physio who has sorted me with acupuncture and massage and a prescribed set of stretches and strengthening exercises, I'm really on the way back up and just in time for the series of 4 Paris Brest Paris qualifying rides that I have to complete: 300k and 400k complete, just need to do the 200 (5/1/19) and the 600 (27/1/19) so that I can register in June. I can preregister next month because of the 1200 km Sydney to Melbourne that I completed last November. This was the ride that really completed my body's downward spiral, It was completed on top of just too much training and work during 2017.

The best bit is that now I'm retired I can ride when I feel like it! :D

Well done Jules and Jason. :)

And agreed, Cavebear2's kilometres are enormous.

I clocked up 17,003km today with 152km today, making 532km for the week.

I have discovered I have an interesting dilemma...I DID promise my extremely understanding wiffeee that I would ride less in 2018 than I did in 2017. Last I covered 12378klm and I am only 103 off that now...with the lads and ladettes planning some rides next week of the longer variety.

Hmmm.

Well... Did you promise less distance or fewer rides? Any leeway in the number of rides?

I would never, make a promise like that. My bike time is my chill-out and de-stress time and is not, open for discussion with anyone other than me. :wink:

^^^I promised number of kilometres as even I could see the impact on family time. It is all about balance isn’t it. Particularly the long weekend rides. It wasn’t just the 5-6 hours out it is the early bed the night before and the general uselessness post ride ba ha. Home maintainence, mucking about with the kids are all sacrificed to an extent. Late night parties are not awesome after getting up at 4-4:30am!

Does my wife spend over an hour a day on herself and “her time” (and this does not inc ride prep and post ride wind down). No way...riding is fairly selfish in a lot of ways and I have seen some separations amongst friends. Did not really want to go the same way...

So how has this year been different despite the same km’s I hear nobody ask? I have worked hard to be more “present” and my rides have fitted around more things such as rides to kids sports and meeting them there and back home from places we go. Also stupid o’clock in the morning has been found! Lastly, the new trainer has been effective...wiffeee goes out, I wrangle the kids into bed and then go for ride! Winning...

14,275km for the year, with 190km of up. I would have done a few more rides this week but felt depressed and demotivated, so it's not happening.
Of the above total, a large amount was for the 29 consecutive days I spent in the Pyrénées, from 6th Sep to 4th Oct: that saw me doing 2235km with 49km of up, more than I've ever done in a month (even if it wasn't a calendar month).
I'll be cycling in the French Alps next year for a similar period, so will probably do about the same as the above, averaging about 80km and 1700m climbing per day, because I seem to be able to keep that up indefinitely, provided I do leg muscle stretches before and after every ride, and don't push myself too hard on the rides.

That's massive elevation, well done. I'm doing plenty of riding at the moment to get to my yearly target, I'm about 150km away from the target now.

I'm also going back to France next year- this time planning to make a longer stay. Potentially China or Oman too, but undecided about those at the moment. Hopefully not broken bike next time around.

I'm likely going to miss my 6,000km target for the first time in a few years. The self-inflicted grade-3 ankle sprain last Christmas eve was a significant setback leading me to lose nearly all of January 2018.

Not going to miss it by much though. I'm up to 5757km and 83,464m of climingand I may add another 100-150km in the next fewdays.
