Nice mate! Did the rain hold off for it? I was in Bathurst for the weekend, did a 50km ride this morning, plenty of riders out there too.

Cheers, was a first for me and a bit of an achievement.

Just got a sprinkle out at west head, was a little cool heading down Bobbo, anyone familiar with that road will know Bobbo has a cure for that

had a slow start to the year....with other priorities taking place...a tree fell on our house...we moved our family of four into a motel then a unit whilst the house is rebuilt......so wiped January and February out as we tried to settle down a bit...

have used March to get back into it...and also as a fundraiser for MarchCharge for cancer fundraiser...

aiming for 1,500km for the month (sitting on 770km...) and was aiming for $1000 raised for cancer...and have just gone past that..so still trying for more donations...

Got back last night from a bikepacking trip with a bunch of new and old mates in the Watagans. Added 200km of offroad/gravel to the tally for 2016.

Cheers to RCOH for trekking out with beers, water, pulled pork buns and egg and bacon rolls in the morning. Pretty much singlehandedly turned a bikepacking trip into glamping. Legend!

I've now started to back off the volume a bit as I need a few weeks to just catch up and recover. Two weeks at home (VES1, MTBO1 and XCM3 next two weekends), then straight up to Cairns for 10 days (World cup set-up), then three weeks home, then off overseas for two weeks.

2016 Target: 8,000km.
2016 ridden so far: 3,889km.
Strava tells me I've climbed 39,059m so far this year.

My riding plans have come to a crashing halt due to a major health issue. I'll update when I know more, still waiting on a firm diagnosis, then it's on to treatment plans.

Well I have done:

2012 I did 3,900.
2013 did 4,000
2014 did 5,000
2015 did 5,000
Thats roadie kms.
5,000 was a struggle this year so I will target 4,000 for 2016.

I don't log my MTB riding as it's generally DH or gravity enduro style. But it's good to set a target for the year.

How about 60hours MTB riding for the year? That's a bit more than an hour a weekend, seeing I'll miss many and others I'll try to manage at least two hours.

Update for me, I have passed 1,000kms on the roadie so on schedule there.

MTB hours, due to family functions and travel and the fact I don't log anything mean I'll forget about MTB goal.

you are having a seriously shit run of luck with your health and your bike riding. hope the news you get is better than you expect.

As for 2016 i am tryign to ride 75% of the days. no fixed distance or elevation just want to keep riding. winter is going to be hard to get out in the rain.

riding 4-5 days a week youll be knocking up some decent kms...good stuff. yeh melbourne winters suck in terms of riding consistency...you just gotta grab it when you can.
been a bit slack (nothing new there) + a few bike niggles (same again...nothing new there)so last 2-3 weeks have been a bit slow. sitting @ 2,488.1 km...about 5-600km behind target...shit :p
