BigDL Posted December 29, 2019 Share Managed to crack 3000km today. Only on my bike for 120 hours [emoji30] Worst stats since I started cycling, by a long way!Ha - I also passed 3,000 yesterday. Shocker of a year, especially as I am on 600 just for December. HdB and Patchelicious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted December 29, 2019 Share Today's ride took me to 10 039km in 190 rides totaling 456 hours and 10 minutes and just a flight of stairs short of 140k elevation. Biggest year of the 5 since I started cycling. Passed the milestone halfway up the Hout Bay side of Chappies pretending to be a domestique into the gusty wind for a few mamil mates and feeling like I might just take the yellow jersey ... I'm going to try remember that feeling when I'm standing on some sun baked desert hill with the breath of the devil coming off the rocks on my first ever Attakwas in a few weeks thinking "What the $#$@ am I doing here?"

JohanDiv Posted December 29, 2019 Share Aimed for 6000km and 100 000m elevation gain. Just made the climbing! Still have three rides left so might make it to 6500km. 99% on the MTB. Got a road bike around a month ago, so for next year aiming for a bit more distance.. 7000km and 120 000m elevation gain, a sub 3h30min Argus, a sub 4 K2C, and a sub 11 Trans Baviaans..

Good luck! nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted December 29, 2019 Share If you can do a sub 4 K2C, you are capable of a sub 3 Argus! Good luck!Thanks Patch! I'm going to do a few Sportives in Jan and Feb to try and improve my road seeding before Argus, might reassess by then and go for sub 3.

The Ouzo Posted December 29, 2019 Share So probably did my last ride for the year. Last year near the 4th quarter I decided to go for 2000kk for the year. I fell short by about 70km. This year started out with me having the 2000km goal in mind, but by April i was already over 1000 so set the goal higher at 2500km. It’s not a lot for others, but the graph below paints my picture. I’m happy with the result, next year I’m going for 3000. With just 2 days a week to ride and limited time it’s tight.

scotty Posted December 31, 2019 Share I have on occasion been known to swing my legs over the bike to go for ride. After missing 2018 goal of 12000km I made it my 2019 one which i have surpassed. While elevation is poor compared to some that have done less km than me, I do stay in one of the flatter parts of Ekurhuleni.
