Bike Hub 2019 Commuters Challenge

[Hairy]

Not a good idea. Don't sell bikes. N+1. Besides, Flemish Lion needs his other bikes for road racing. He's a pretty good road racer, not as good as his wife though. I will actually bet all my bikes that non of us can beat his wife.

spousal abuse is nothing to joke about ... I would never beat his wife or mine for that matter

[Rouxenator]

^^^^    good one.

 

I actually have 3 bikes - which is 2 too many if you ask me. Problem is I can't decide which to let go. 

[cat-i]

That is the plan. 

 

I am starting to worry about you, Cat-i. Soon you be catching me as well. 

 

5000

 

Naaah not to worry about me for the immediate future. If I ride 20 km more than you a week and I'm 760 behind then it would take 38 weeks to catch up, so you're safe for now 

[Zub]

Zub, dude, you must update your rides, I'm coming for you!

 

At the rate your'e going it will make no difference whether I update or not.

 

Just about holding on to that podium by a hair.

 

I'll need to come up with a plan soon...

4000 EddieV! In this foul weather ...

[Rouxenator]

Last two days I took the car. Tomorrow back on the bike.

Also took the car today and had a lift home yesterday evening. Wife was in town and when she phoned to check if I wanted a lift I happily agreed! Was running late at work so thats my excuse! Haha, will just call it being lazy!

[Hairy]

what is this "taking the car" thing you guys are talking about!?!?!?

Take your time recovering from the flu - you don't want to start training too quickly and then get sick again

6 weeks sounds about right

[cat-i]

Imploder is that a fresh new 3000 on the leaderboard? Congrats!

It's a good idea, but I'll have to take it under advisement.

What a hard week!

 

Since the Sani2C challenge way back in May Mr Cat-i wanted to know if we could try to do a 300km commuting week. Then the UweKoetter Rise-the-challenge came along, so we added 'and 5000 m ascent' to the mini-challenge.

 

This past week was the only one in a long while where both of us would be able to commute all 5 days, so we decided to try - we chose the coldest week of the year so far. Was very hard to get up Wednesday and yesterday morning. This morning was a bit easier - only this afternoon to go.

 

Not trying this again any time soon.

And Joburg is not flat!

took a look at the challenge, and you are certainly clocking up the mileage ... seeing as you are a handful of km behind me now, may I suggest you take a rest month or two please.
