    maybe if I weighed 10kg less!

    I'm 75kg, so all that riding at 300w is not a big deal. A pro my size would be doing about 50w more at the same level of effort.

    Not a good ride today, got hit by an old man on a roundabout who looked straight at me before pulling out and then fell off on the off road part of my ride nearly falling in the river and jarring my back, hopefully it will be better by tomorrow as I need to get a decent ride in as I usually do well over 200 miles a week but I have only done about 60 this week due to my son being home ill and having to fit a new chain and cassette on my bike.

    Oh my gosh, are you okay?

    I got in 11.5 miles today. It is a good thing that all gross things get suspended during rides. We are having huge aphid infestations in 3 counties here. It is like riding through a constant swarm of gnats. I feel them hitting my face and my clothes look like a windshield. YUCK!

    09/10 - 23miles (11.5miles each way to work)

    Total = 49miles
    Goal = 100miles

    Practically halfway to my goal already...and it's only the 9th!! Guess having my new bike is going to help a lot!!
    My first go at cycling to work today - have yet to do the second half home again. Did it in just under an hour so improved my average speed considerably already. Still had to walk up a couple of the big hills (I wish I lived in a flat area!!) - I know when I manage to cycle the whole route I'll be overjoyed. But for now I'm ecstatic I managed to get to work in time for a shower and to get to my desk 15mins early!! Wish me luck for the ride home!! xxx

    I'm in! I'll shoot for 400 miles by the end of the month.

    Also, if you're worried about the dark, please check out Magicshine lights. They are affordable and reaaaaally bright! I ride at night a lot during the week, and these things light up the road, well ... like magic! My cycling friends have commented that my light is so bright that they thought I was a motorcycle headlight if I was behind them.

    The NiteRider MiNewt.500 Cordless LED Headlight is also pretty bright, as well, and it can be charged via USB and doesn't require an external battery. This one does take a while to charge, though.

    Also remember a good taillight, as well. I recommend the Planet Bike Blinky Superflash Tail Light because its variable setting isn't a typical pattern that a driver would expect from immovable road hazards, etc -- it will make drivers more likely to approach you with caution.
