SomeTri 116 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Anyone else doing it? Thought it would be easy, but my ass is grass and I still have 180 to go... Probably doesn't help that there's not much flat around here! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

humdrum 246 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 92.1 to go. And 64 of that is already covered with commuting Monday and Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites
dazaau 465 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 No idea what the festive 500 is but all I know is that I've been stuck with a mild but infuriatingly persistent cold since Christmas Eve and haven't ridden at all. And it's killing me Link to post Share on other sites
Bored@work 3,995 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 If Zwift counted I would have about 60 to go. still got 180 to go on the road. I’ll get it plus km on Zwift. probably get 620 all up for this week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SomeTri 116 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 421km down. Which means I get to take tomorrow off the bike and go for a run instead. It's just too hot to run post bike atm... Link to post Share on other sites

gplama 177 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Yep. Just ticking it out by clocking up the minimal quota +/- a few % each day. 2019 saw a little llama join the family this year so I have to schedule things around that little guy... and his mum who's also going to hit the 500 tomorrow. Indoor kms counting would have been a godsend this year. Nice work to everyone hitting the 500 (even 1/2 is a good week on the bike) Happy (almost) 2020 Trannies! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

more 799 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Why don't indoor kms count? They are harder than outdoor-no rest at lights, no drafting etc Link to post Share on other sites

Naut 705 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hit 530kms yesterday and I am done for the year. Went for a swim this morning for something different. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeTri 116 Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 97km this morning got me to 518 Done. Knackered. Don't want to look at my bike for a week. But I'm off on a training camp on Thurs 🤣 Gotta question the logic of doing the 500 just before a camp... Link to post Share on other sites
