cat-i Posted January 2, 2020 Share And here we go again .... watch out Cat ... I am coming for you this year Hairy, thank you very much for the challenge and believing in me. The truth is that it got very hard to keep it up towards the end (I must thank you and Samson for keeping chasing) ... I can't see myself chasing the top guys again this year; I'm just too slow so the only way I could keep up was to ride for many hours a day, which was fun the first few months after JoBerg2C but is unsustainable in the longer run. It will probably be a very competitive year and I think the 10000 km may be broken before 1 December. Of course I will give it a go, but I think your real competition is going to come from Samson, Zub and 1 or 2 other commuters - the question is probably who wants it the most!

Bateleur1 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Well since I am working Homeoffice from day one this year I will not even enter the challange. The only downside of working from home in my opinion.

SilverRider Posted January 10, 2020 Share Yesterday afternoon's commute was a wet one. Waited over an hour under the roof of a church for the thunder and lightning to pass. Then it was full speed for home but the rain caught me about 2kms from home. When I got to the dirt road, I live on a small holding with about 800m of dirt road as the last stretch, it was more suitable for a canoe than a bike or even a car. Cleaning the bike and wet kit was not fun.

It wasn't actually raining on the drive home but the roads were still very wet.
