I ride from March to Sept., but then it gets too cold, wet and dark for me, so I quit

Rule #5 & rule #9! :laugh:

My coworkers think I'm crazy riding in the cold (18F is my lowest this year so far), wet and dark. I love it. Rules 5 & 9 are my mantra...

Only at 242 for the month, not going to break 300. Just lacking the "oomph" lately. Guess I need to refer to rule #5 more! :indifferent:

1113.4 km so far

Great total for November (so far) mate!

1113.4 km so far

Great total for November (so far) mate!

Bit too much "indoor" work for my liking at this stage of the year, would prefer to be out and getting some long-steady Z1 / Z2 rides in, but circumstances dictate, so to speak...

I only just stumbled across this thread! LOVE the idea of an off season challenge for my cycling. I ride from March to Sept., but then it gets too cold, wet and dark for me, so I quit. This year I have been planning to set up the thingy inside for my bike, (thingy is the technical term, dontcha know?) but I haven't had time to junk out the basement yet. A challenge would get me there! Are you doing this for December too? I've got to put on another 200k to make 3000 for the year. I'm excited now, I'm gonna do it!

I will start another one in December. I may be away from my bike, but I don't want to be away from the inspiration that I get from all of you!

A poor month for me mainly caused by working away from home for most of it and only getting short rides in after work on dark unfamiliar flooded roads. Starting to find my way around the Oxford area a little better now so I will hopefully be able to put in a few harder rides next month, on the plus side climbing ladders all day working on converting an old convent into a nursery has been great exercise and the weight is still coming off
