Sounds like a handy excuse. Extract a digit/man up/chop chop etc
Haha! Am pretty sure it's just a bruised heel and not plantar fascitis so next week's century is back on! The more I talk about it on here the more likely I'll feel obliged to do it, nothing like the scrutiny of a bunch of strangers on the internet to spur you on 😉
235 Rides (lockdown was out every other day)
467h
3196 Miles (Similar to last year)
315,291ft (surprised by this as local lock down rides are pretty flat!)
Elevation is down a fair bit, last year there was 10 days in france, at 15,000+ft a day, a few uplift days, week in italy and a week in innerleithen.
Was on course for 6500km for this year but an operation sees me stuck at 5300km since early November with cycling not allowed before 27 December.
Last year was very poor at 492km due to a sick dog and no enthusiasm.
Next year I intend to break 10 000km and manage the Rapha Christmas challenge.
Rapha Christmas challenge
I've given up on ever achieving that, it basically seems impossible without incurring the eternal animosity of one's lift partner/fellow child rearer.

My mileage this year, really poor as we bought a house and every riding weekend has been a pickaxing weekend or a painting weekend etc etc...

Just do it all in a single day and then spend the other 7 days with your family...

Including elevation on uplifts is cheating!
Here we go, all packaged up and ready to go
36.5km of up so far this year, which is fair given I ride in Suffolk.
The dog will be old enough for trail duties by next June. A new mtb will be needed for this as I have been without one since October 2018. Trail hard tail ordered yesterday for possible April delivery but I’m not holding my breath. How big a change a. I going to experience going from 26” wheeled lefty Cannondale (2007 vintage) to Merida big trail 500?
