#YayMe: I signed up for #Strava's January Cycling Distance Challenge, where the goal was to ride 1250km during the month.

I DID IT! (And I've still got 3 riding days left in the month - sweet!)

A cycling mate mentioned JackUltraCyclist / https://www.strava.com/athletes/486153 / https://www.instagram.com/jackultracyclist

His goal for 2022 was to ride with 1000000 metres of elevation. Yes, 1 *million* metres.

so it's fascinating to watch this #GCN interview with him

#BunchRide this morning was joined by a young'un (14ish) in our 29km/h avg group. He comes along during hols, not term time. At post-ride coffee another rider expressed dissatisfaction with kid on the front (we rotate). Why? HE'S NOT ENOUGH OF A WIND BREAK 😆 for the rest of us (all 10cm++ taller, and somewhat wider)

My #2022 in #cycling

so .... I've done 302km since the previous post (ie, just this week). I'm 25km short of 1200km for the month, but it's likely-early-riser #Child1's bday tomorrow, my legs are a little sore and I think I've got a saddle sore on a very inconvenient part of my glute. So I probably won't hit 1200km - and that is ok.

Arrabri to Mt Ommaney https://www.strava.com/segments/642453 was 2m26s because I was keeping my reserves but wanted to get another hill in, and Mt Ommaney Hill https://www.strava.com/segments/1353283 was 5m24 having done all the rest of the route. In Feb 2022 that segment took me 5m59s.

Filing all of today's efforts under #yayme

#TFW you realise that you haven't had the LBS service your bike in a little over 2 years.

ALSO #TFW when you check #Strava and realise you've done more than 7000km since the last service.

ALSO ALSO #TFW the next available service date is 10 Jan and you realise you'll likely ride another 600km before then.
