A couple remaining to tick off when I'm next back there BandOfClimbers - A3 print, £12. Printed on fairly thick paper though the quality isn't poor it isn't overly impressive. Picked the frame up in town. A nice little momento.

Nice one!
The club ride today put me at 8385 miles for the year, so guess what I'm doing on Zwift tomorrow! Pretty chuffed with that total considering I spend almost a third of the year out of the country.

I fitted these in april and I thought i'd come back to them now for anyone who's interested
It's been 8 months of literally every kind of conditions you get in the UK, circa 2500-3000 miles on them.
They're still great and they still have loads of wear in them. They cut up FAR less than a GP 4 Seasons and outmile a Schwalbe durano.
two thumbs up from me.
115 miles? Of course unless your bike actually moves forward it will actually be 0 miles

Haha I used to take the mick out of turbo miles too, but I can assure you turbo miles hurt just as much as real miles!!
They're certainly far tougher mentally 
I did 105 miles of turbo this year. All within about 10 days in the garden in the sun because of an injury. Hated it.
Looking back over the year I've failed at summer riding! June, July and August were my lowest mileage months.

I need to get out for 5 miles tomorrow to hit 5000. It’s been a pretty crap year for me, though. Most of that is commuting. Need to make more of an effort to get out at the weekends for some real riding. Hopefully we’ll get a decent summer next year, it was utter balls this year.

You’re kidding right?! It was pretty good this year I feel. Pretty dry, and we had some of the driest September and October for years.
I haven't ridden outside since the end of October
and my weekly average has stayed the same/gone up, I'm not slacking either 
Not in this neck of the woods! No summer at all.

I didn't realise that was your actual target... I had figured you were going to do 15 miles to hit 8400. Crazy. Kudos for the mental suffering!
I just got drenched in what I thought was a gap in the rain... turns out it has been raining rather a lot...
I only managed 3200km this year, only did 20 hours total for the first 6 months! Turned it around a bit since then, if I can manage 150-200km a week I’m happy.
Over 2000km on Zwift! Godsend for keeping fitness up when time poor and bad weather.
I might try a bit of TT next year, figured I can get a reasonable 10 mile out of myself, FTP around 280-290w at the minute, so a 22 minutes might be do-able?!
