Looking good. Probably another 2 weeks off. Better than 2 months!kb wrote:I’ll be lucky to make 9k this year. Mostly bad luck, bad management and a sweet little toddler. Find out tonight if I’ve fractured my scaphoid -- doesn’t feel too bad...

Nice work. I'm almost at 16,000km for the year.Hergest wrote:I'd lost track a bit due to not logging a fair few rides on Strava but after totalling the distance up this morning I found I've completed my goal and am now on 15,390 kms for the year. My distance challenge was 15,000. Hooray:)

I note your sentiments Mustang and to a large extent agree. I always considered being in the 6000k group even though for the last 4 or 5 years strived for a bit more but never considered myself achieving or aiming for the 10000 Club. So where does that me and others in a similar situation. Still consider myself as a 6kerMustang wrote:I have read through several pages of this now combined forum.
For the active 6000k riders I only see 3 ? Chriso_29er; 1 Rowdy1 & myself.
I expect due to the more active posts of riders above 6K intimidation is the problem, riders not making it have fallen away, rather than getting encouragement from fellow 6Kers.
The 6K forum was a very active & competitive forum when formed, I ask the mods to re-instate the forum as it once was to encourage the older & newer riders to have something to strive for.

I think that the entry level should be 5,200km. 100km/wk is an approachable number. It can be acheived by having a life on weekends and commuting regularly, or by doing the odd commute and getting in a nice bunch ride or two on the weekend. It was certainly what I aimed for at first. (I did it with an average of about 50km commuting and 50km racing on weekends).grt046 wrote:I note your sentiments Mustang and to a large extent agree.

better than any distance you do by yourself. kudosironhanglider wrote: However on the plus side, my 8yo son is doing more riding, so I might be able to do some more weekend rides with him on the tandem next year. If all goes well we might do some 'event' rides. We've already worked out that we can do 50km pretty easily together, now all we need to do is string in some hills.

I'm with you hergest. You're only competing with yourself. We're all good for an encouragement or two here.Hergest wrote:It's a great shame to me that anyone feels intimidated by the fact that I'm fortunate to have the time to ride over 15,000 km a year as intimidation would be the very last thing that entered my mind when I signed up for that distance at the start of the year.
