Still going strong. A few close shaves this week with deadlines and kids, but made each.

The biggest danger facing us all in the 2018 CTCT is the bunch crashing into an over-flogged dead horse.

Ten per cent there...

Is this sort of common sense even allowed here. MODERATORS!!!

That creasing thing sounds odd - you must have got a dud one. I have 15 000-plus km on one of them. Not a crease (?) or saddle sore in sight. Most comfortable saddle I can remember riding, I transfer it between my bikes. I have ridden many (but not all) saddles over the years, and the Fabric guys have got it spot on for me. Therein lies the challenge, of course. Saddles are such personal things. Our butts are all different.

January done. Almost there...

21/21 No walks or runs. Only one 20 min 'cheat' ride, other than that have stuck to my personal hour a day goal. Was well tired early last week, but now beginning to feel strong again.

Don't water the troll.

Shhhhh. Secret. <the little toy shop next to melissa's in constantia>

It originally press-fit onto the little blue strap (no oversize version available), so the first time you hit 50km/h, it takes off, and you have to climb back up and search. it now glue-fits. best hundred bucks spent in years.

'cos we never really grow up

Can I Strava feeding, bathing and getting to bed two toddlers? Two hours of HIIT, suffer score through the roof. Still, 14/14, all on the bike. This is fun.

Done. Another hour in the bag. Only 359 to go. The morning thing was thwarted by two small faces wanting to play. Not that I do early mornings anyway. Just can't.

19h16, day 6/365. Heading to the garage and the IDT with a full belly and the joy of a day keeping two toddlers alive and happy (and a few beers with dinner) coursing through the veins. The missus is giving me that look. Can't cock it up this early in the game, right?

That could add a whole heap of pressure to riding on 1 January 2019.

So IDT counts, if you have your strap on. Excellent.

Now you do. Any idea how many folk made it in 2017, globally? Where do we find that out?

SO. 365/2018... Who is in?

Like we haven't watched your dot enough...

It will be in are 21st-anniversary bumper relaunch issue, mid Feb. Worth the wait - A good read. Am about to pressure the man into all sorts of technical things like kit lists, good-choices/bad-choices, things he would do different to add to it all.

Ummm. No.

We, too, are waiting ever so patiently to read the gory details.

A cynic might suggest Entilini doesn't actually want cyclists on Chappies...
