  • 500 Mile a month.

    I’m going to set a more realistic goal of 4500 miles (375/month) for me for 2015…

    My twice a week commute should account for roughly ~2700 of that, meaning the remaining ~1800 should come from weekend/evening riding, with peaks and troughs likely throughout the year, 4.5k is achievable but still challenging for me, where 6k just ain’t going to happen…

    If they’re equivalent to real miles then yes. None of this 30mph for 2 hours lark!

    So downhill and tailwind miles don’t count either then ?? 😉 /Devilsadvocate

    Anyone know if Ant+ is compatible with Endomondo? And how would you go about recording turbo miles?

    Yep, works with Ant+, and there’s an indoor cycling setting. Not sure if it’ll add the indoor rides to the challenge though?

    Too much ice and travelling for me this month, and the two have rarely coincided annoyingly. Last ditch effort this week, but no way I’ll hit 500, 400 at a push I reckon!

    Only 350 so far for me, had a week of gale force winds so didn’t commute. then a week of snow and ice but still managed to do 3 days.

    I’m up on last years total for January, and 2012 & 2013 so that was always my aim anyway.

    Lost a couple of kilos and now at 68.5kg and feel great on the bike so its going well so far.

    As of this morning I was at 484 miles and confident that by the end of the week I would get to 500. The forecast of 24 hours of snow could have thrown a spanner in the works, it’s just started in Oldham.

    Not detracting from Tim’s mileage, but have you seen the guy who’s leading the Strava MTS challenge for January!? 8829km in January 😯

    Can’t quite work out what he’s doing, there’s references in the comments to “x days until a rest day”, I wondered if he was one of the guys trying to do Tommy Godwin’s record, but not so sure.

    Just got over the 700 mark at 703. Quite hard going in the cold especially the icey days. Probably be less this month.

    1706 in the end.
    Pretty good I reckon, working from home has that effect.

    Feb looks like it’ll be a lot leaner than that, so glad I made the best of it whilst I could.
