Just a few miles to go to hit 11,000 miles so far this year, so I "should" be good for about 14k by the end of the year.

Thus beating last years total (and the years before for that matter) of just over 13,000 miles

Hi,
Back when I commuted every day, when I was audaxing, 20 miles to work (actual distance 7) and 30 home on a run up to an event.

When you are single living out of a box it easily done, saturday day off

sunday a wakeup 2.5 hr forest run and you can relax

10001 miles achieved today and not a single puncture - mind you if I take last year into account, that's over 19000 miles without one - mostly on Vittoria Randonneur Pro tyres, and entirely in North Wales.

I'm going to bake some cake

Congratulations. That's some miles.

Should also mention in addition to the zero punctures, every mile was without a helmet :wink:

Cake being prepared is TAMARIND DATE CAKE

It's delish and better than rocket fuel for cyclists. Anyone who want's to drop by and try some are welcome. Should have contacted you a few years ago MickF - one of your End to End jaunts came close?

Seconded.
I'm still about 1300 short and just had my second puncture of the year.

Made it to 10,003 yesterday. My mileage has dropped a bit with all the gales we have had recently but my puncture tally has now risen to 3 (and will probably continue to rise as hedge slashing is now in full swing). I haven't kept a tally of all the cake eaten!

Well done, my tandem mileage is only a few short of 7600 which will be a new annual record for us. Total annual mileage for all bikes has dropped below 10k but I do have my bus pass

.
What is it with all this hedge cutting ! They are all doing it down here too

Hi,
We got it in south devon too, double puncture (two thorns one tyre)

Hoping for 11 / day but manged 10 starting December if I had stopped there

Need 200 before rest of year and will struggle on time for that, but happy at the mo with my pathetic effort.
Well done.

27.4 miles a day on average... no, no and no again. I once did 20 miles 5 days in a row and that was enough.
