9942.2kms to go

I'll go for 12k again with 1% elevation hoping to keep the current run of 1000km months going

Zero here so far.
Will just aim for over 10k and see where I end up

Starting off the year with a rest day haha.

I was about to go out a do 50k's but I decided a rest day is what I needed.

Up and running for the year.
Did 130.8kms yesterday, 2094 elev gain.
Only 9869.2kms to go!!!

102 today and it put me in a much better mood, going for a ride.
Timed it perfectly too. Beat the rain by about 15min and it has rained for about 4hrs

another month, another 1000kms
1015km with 12396m of up

I'm at 1,078.9km with 7,442m of up.

Had a few days off, so I made a sneaky little trip to the mid-north coast and got a couple of long rides in. Very flat, but brilliant for my state of mind.

Also reminded of why it's so nice to ride early morning - the stillness, the sun rising, birds chirping, lack of traffic, etc- it's very cathartic. I work afternoons, so I'm not usually up early enough to make the most of it.

Set off for a ride today and had to turn around and come home after 500m. Think I've got a bit of per anserine bursitis in my right knee. Felt tender beforehand, but thought I'd be alright... nup. Not happy.

First thousand up - 1050 with 15,529m elevation. 23 KOMs.

And so it begins again.

Ticked over 1200km today , so far so good

Nice work lenham

I'm trying to keep up with the big boys this year!
YTD: 1010.5kms, 14,771 of up.

Good numbers Garnett

1103km
11675m of up.
A bit of work around home and family stuff lost a couple of rides.

I'm at 3081km and 37,540m+ but I doubt I'll keep that going since I'm no longer on holidays.

I was rather surprised yesterday to find my 10 minute power is starting to come back.

Oh I don't know - my progress from now on is likely to be all over the shop. Depends on what I get time to do.

I do know that I don't want to abruptly stop in mid-March for an entire year! I hope I never have that again.

This year the plan is not to abruptly stop in mid-March for an entire year, I do know that!

Well done on that month anyway. Way more than I have ever done in 4 weeks.

Holy cow! That's amazing. Almost 100km per day. Well done.

1,568 km and 22,942 m here.

Thanks folks - I'm starting to get better at doing longer distances without the pain I was having last year.

Last year anything over 80km was agony. I just had terrible saddle pain - now with more tweaks I'm getting past that.

G-Boaf: awesome work mate, as other have mentioned thats 100kms per day nearly, you may as well clock up the kms while you can.

1492kms with 18796m of up

g-boaf, those are incredible numbers, well done. I would be surprised, but I remember how many kms you were doing prior to your accident - an insane amount.

What do you do for recovery? Do you have rest days? Share some of your secrets!
