Dear Rouleurs,

Well here’s my last bike log for 2016.  Basically, my holiday cycling plans didn’t go as planned resulting no riding between 18 December 2016 to 6 January 2017…bugger.  Notwithstanding, I still managed 446.05 Km for weeks I was able to ride. Here’s my log and stats.  Here’s the log and stats for December.

As expected I exceeded the 7000 Km mark, finishing up with an final total of 7293.26 Km.  This meant I beat my annual goal by nearly 1300 Km….woo hoo.

I’ve included some additional end of year stats to describe what occurred over that period of time.

The first graph shows month by month totals of kilometres ridden

The second graph shows month by month the total number of rides.

Clearly, the last third of the year was a bit less productive than the earlier periods.  This was mainly due to illness.  Hopefully I’ll be able to avoid some of those nasty ‘bug’s in 2017.

Until next blog, ride safe.

Dear Rouleurs,

Considering that I lost a week in the middle of November due to illness, knocking out 548km wasn’t too bad. Here’s my log and stats.  Here’s the log and stats for November.

Probably the most significant observation I could make is that it looks very likely that I’ll break 7000km mark this year.  I’m already about 1125 km ahead of annual target. That’s pretty amazing given all of the life “stuff” I’ve had on this year.

I’ve signed up for three events early next year, the Cadel Evans People’s Ride 111km version in January, the Ballarat Classic 100Km version in February and the MS Cycle 50Km in March.

Until next blog, ride safe.
