I was lucky and managed to get home just before it started to rain. I just locked the gate and it started falling!

Unfortunately have some things to do so will be taking the car today.

I think all rides for the year however I think you could set it up as having multiple stages.

 

I created it as 1 stage for the year so all rides for 2019 however I don't know whether this was the best option.

 

Thanks Zub.

Maybe we can make it a stage per month? Thank you for the initiative and effort.

Damn yesterday was interesting on my commute home... I tried to beat the incoming Joburg storm... roads were still dry so I didn't change into my cycling clothes to save time... thunder and lightening around... as I was 500m into my ride the rain came down hard and 1 second between lightening and thunder... I got so wet that when I got home I walked into the shower with my clothes on

Not to worry, this weekend we're taking long weekend so will only commute 3 days. And a week's cycling thingy planned in Feb so no commuting that week too

We need the headstart, not that it will help, but at least we get to enjoy the top spots for a while.

I hate panniers.  I carry pretty much the same as you on my commutes (35 km) and yes the bag needs to be rinsed out due to sweat but I feel that panniers stuffs up my centre of gravity.
