Yes she came out last week. She now has to undergo at least six sessions of chemotherapy.

Well done all the high milers.
Myself, just 120 miles to go for 6000 this year, as a novice to this pastime, feeling quite pleased, ☺

First year since 1983 when I haven't spent a considerable portion working away at sea.

It's hit the wallet quite badly but means I've put around 7500 miles through the pedals & kept me reasonably sane!

See what next year brings, Happy Christmas

Well it's 10249 miles (16464km) in total for 2018 spread over 175 ride days. I don't think I even did that much back in my racing youth, I thought 5000 miles/year was pretty impressive back then!

How will 2019 measure up? Who can say, i'll just ride for enjoyment and see where it goes.
Convention? what's that then?

Ended the year on 10,539 miles, my highest ever total. I'm no longer working and free to ride most days so I do!

5913 miles for me, a bit short of the 6000 I was hoping for, but I didn't ride much in December, apart from the Festive 500. It's almost twice what I did last year and a little down on previous years, as I no longer commute by bike. Longest ride was 132 miles. I did 168.000 feet of climbing and rode on 150 days.
