Ready for my bed now... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-84759 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 19:50:01 +0000 Uberuce 84759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Went on the Porto-Velo ride with those chaps, as well as Amir and recombodna of this parish. Recombo's Strava put him at 76.8 miles, and since I'm a few hundred yards from his hoose, I'd be on 77.smallchange. That 68 miles is done and dusted. </p> <p>For the bike being being too small, I must concede my shoulders and neck didn't give me *that* much gyp, especially since the oldschool bars mean I have to be down in the drops to get good purchase on the brake levers.</p> <p>As of next weekend it's going up to live with my Ma and Pa, and therefore will still get used for solo jaunts up in rural Tayside when I'm homehome but can't be bothered bringing the Croix up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-84681 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 07:23:34 +0000 wee folding bike 84681@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No, Ben Nevis for that kind of thing.

I think it can be forgiven even an unfortunately milestone shaving failure. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-84646 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 17:49:08 +0000 recombodna 84646@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a cateye velo 8 that failed just after 1000 miles........ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-84639 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 17:30:54 +0000 Uberuce 84639@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think it heard me when I've been talking about replacing it.

I set myself a milage target every year (might even make it this year!), and I look at my weekly, and monthly miles all the time. </p> <p>My 'new' bike - when do we stop calling them new? - went over 2000 miles last week which made me smile. + the 500 on the Cervelo, for the year leaves me about 1500 to do by Xmas which is do-able.</p> <p>@Uberuce, you need to say good bye to the black bike, can't hink of a better way than putting the 68 miles on it... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-84416 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:52:09 +0000 Uberuce 84416@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I used it on Monday so slightly less than 68, but my enthusiasm for squeezing onto it is diminished somewhat in the light of recent purchases. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-84415 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:30:56 +0000 Dave 84415@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not at all, you just need to ride 68 miles on the black bike this evening? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-84414 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:24:24 +0000 Uberuce 84414@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Whoops. I rolled into four figures on wee blue floofy somewhere within 1600 metres of t'office this morning. There goes the Plan Of Nerdy Awesome. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-83914 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 19:27:40 +0000 Uberuce 83914@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>By happy coincidence, the odometers on both my measured bikes are within 100 miles of the grand. 35 on wee blue floofy and 68 on black fruity. I'll do 36 purely from commuting next week, but I'd rather engineer matters so that each one ticks over on the same day. Easily done, since the other two don't have speedometers on.</p> <p>I mentioned this plan to a colleague, who promptly burst into gales of indulgent laughter at the nerdiness of it all. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-81947 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:55:32 +0000 Uberuce 81947@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Jeepersus, Insto's gonna cost me a fortune.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-81872 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 13:09:37 +0000 Instography 81872@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not such a wee treat.

I cheer myself when I cycle more than 300 miles a month. I patted myself on the back for cycling at least 10 miles a day every day of the last two weeks and in mid-September I'll smile broadly as my computer clocks over 2,500 miles for the year. I'm thinking of giving myself a mileage allowance. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-81837 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 10:44:14 +0000 Roibeard 81837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot - LOL</p> <p>What, and deprive others of a photo op?</p> <p>&lt;grin&gt;</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-81835 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 10:40:28 +0000 steveo 81835@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a collection of computers to put on bikes, I never get round to it and I really should if only to counter the cycle chic rules of not counting miles. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8217#post-81831 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 10:36:08 +0000 Uberuce 81831@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Huzzah! </p> <p>14.6% of the miles I've recorded on wee blue floofy since April are DaveC's fault, and done on one day.
