Very poor effort from me this year - 1257 miles.

Although I have done more than 150 hours of spannering in my spare time. Can I be forgiven?

Ive not done so well this year either, only about 2500, with commuting 5 days a week too and no miles since end of sept

Do you work at all rictus?

Think I've done about 9k this year

Hang my head in shame!
3275, but did miss May to mid-September
Will have to go some next year to make up for that.

I don't even walk...not well anyway.., but mainly my passion is riding, sure I can, talk, service, fix, clean and mod them, but that's all so I can ride them more, others play console games, ride mountain bikes get fancy cars or have some other pass times that take their money, done all that, now it's just riding, I'm fortunate in having friends all over the country, and think nothing of a 250 mile run to just drop by, I've a few more years before the knee will be so bad it'll mostly put a stop to that kind of thing, but whilst I can, that's what I've every intention of doing, unlike most I don't focus on why I can't get out on the bike, just adapt, be it attire or riding style, and go anyway.

Everyone has a choice, how much time, money and effort you want to put into something and we're fortunately not all the same, to each their own.

Cheers Mark.

so come on, what are your numbers then?






*still a day or 2 to go, so might get a few more in yet.

Well I've only done about 14K and that was on two bikes .

Mind ewe if I use Mark's method of arithmetic (see above) it comes to 24K

[rictus01]

I see both english and maths aren't your strong suit are they......

Only done about 2k this year.

Around 7.5k this year, a bit less than normal
