So how many miles did you rack up in 2009?

21:50.

😉

The only thing I can use to compare is a solo 40 mile road ride I did in the summer, it covers about a 1000m of elevation and it took me about 2hrs. It's on the connect site somewhere. I'm obviously far far slower than you. Incidently why have you got a garmin that you dont use the facilities of?

Clearly with all the training he does he does not have the time to play about on the internet 😉

Cos then it'd be up on the net for all to see and it'd blow his mileage claims out of the water! 😉

Junkyard-lol

Again, your race results certainly do not suggest someone who can do a 22 minute TT, that's not exactly slow!

Three kids and busy job = a fairly mediocre 800 miles and 37,700 mtrs of climbing…more to do in 2010 methinks!

Where are his results?

NJee – race this race that – change the **** record will you.

LOL! You're asking me to change the record? Well done, that's the most I've laughed in ages!

250

And just worked out I did 4542 miles and 392 hours of riding last year. November and December were a disaster – working away then 2 weeks of snow – so fell quite short of 2008.

Maybe I will manage 5000 in 2010…

EDIT – Smee/Glupton/Goan – these were 18,000 miles of pedal bicycle riding weren't they?

Yes I'm asking you to change the record – you've said you dont believe my mileage from last year – I dont really give a **** what some **** on the internet, who i've never met thinks, now shut the **** up and stop ruining my thread.

🙄

Well – he's being a ****.

I think a bit of responsibility may lie with you for that GL. How old are you by the way?

Considering they are meant to be an adult – their twattishness is their responsibility. I'm 33 – how old are you?

A person starts a thread asking how many miles people have done in the last year, gives their own genuine mileage, and gets slated for it. Great place this is.

Pot kettle and black Mr Smee!

" and stop ruining my thread"
ffs

TJ – you're an arse too.

Getting offensive now? A sure sign you have lost it 🙂

I'm 38. I think the idea of the thread is a good one, well done.
The problem is your lack of modesty; surely by 33 you've realised your talent must put you in the upper quartile of most subscribers to this site and the last thing any body likes is a willy waver who is unwilling to verify his extraordinary claims-and they are extraordinary!

TJ – calling someone a liar is offensive therefore you must have lost it right at the start.

Dasha – In my book there is no character trait worse than false modesty.

And point out where I called you a liar? I merely cast doubt on your claims.

BTW – when did you learn to drive? On the million mile thread you claimed 17 ys driving and now you claim to be 33. Which is correct?

TJ – there is no tone in internet communication – you would do well to remember that.

To answer your other question – both – you do the maths.

[In my book there is no character trait worse than false modesty.]

😯

7 miles a day commute, although being a teacher that's not 52 weeks a year! Fun riding at weekend, could be 50/60 on the road or 25/30 off road. A long time ago when I was 20 I won my first 10 in 22.40 on a Carlton Criterium (Cardiff 100 Milers). Just thought I'd do a bit of bragging too..

He is correct hubris/vainglory/arrogance is so much nicer than modesty 🙄 😯

For me about 5000 on the road + offroad which I never measure in miles, just time and fun..Back in the day , well nearly thirty years ago I was a bit of a racer…21 min for a ten, 55 min 25, 1hr 55 for a fifty and 4hrs 3 mins for a 100 all on a std road bike of the time….

33-17 = 16 years old? Hmmm, again, where did you learn to drive?

On ruining your thread, it's impossible to ruin something already as shi'ite as one of your threads. However you losing it up there really improved it somewhat, so be grateful!

Zokes – go count it again.

quite fancy a Garmin after all this mileage chat…

I could have sold you one…

33-17 is 16, unless you're in some strange parallel universe.

(Oh yes, you are, I'd forgotten…)

Yes Zokes, but I was only 33yrs old for an attosecond…

If you passed your test on your 17th birthday (possible but unlikely – see a theme developing?), you would have been allowed to drive for 16 years on your 33rd birthday. Sure, you would have started your seventeenth year of driving but you wouldn't have finished it (again, see a theme developing?)

So you would have to be 34 to have been driving for 17 full years, no?

I could have sold you one…

aye you could have but i didnt want one at that point.

btw, the orange is growing on me…

Fat Elvis – Or it could be my 17th yr of driving…

Matches your jacket..

However you said you had been driving 17 years. Not the same thing
