Back on Target for 2019

Well, almost. Two thirds of the year through and my kilometre count for the year approaches 4,000. The goal for August was reached and surpassed so things are looking good for the last third of the year and hitting the 2019 target of 6,000 kilometers.

50% through 2019 – 50% distance covered.

Well, that’s looking on the bright side! June has been underwhelming in distance travelled but … hey … 3,000 kilometres and 6 more months to go!!

Evandale – Penny Farthing Races 2019

Here we are. North-Eastern Tasmania at Evandale attending the National Penny Farthing Championships once more. I decided I would like to ride in the Grand Parade this year and so needed to get the trike there. What better way than to ride it?

Week #50. 2018. Nearly there.

My 2018 Challenge to Self (ride 100k a week or 5,200k in the year) is coming along really well. I will have to press on next week though as after that it’s close to the Christmas / New Year period when not too much riding can be fitted in.

Week #48. 2018. Still managing the weather.

A successful week but mainly retracing wheel ruts often discussed in these pages. The main thing is I am happy to have had another good week distance-wise and am closing in on my 2018 challenge to self of cycling 5,200 kilometers in the year.

Week #47. 2018. The end of Coffeeneuring

This was not a great week for cycling as the weather played up with rain and wind and general coolness. Who would have thought summer officially starts in just over a week!

Week #46. 2018. Sally’s Ride

I emailed the organisers a couple of weeks ago asking if recumbents were OK. No reply. This week the ride was getting closer so I downloaded the route information and the rules and regs. In the rules and regs it became clear that recumbents are only allowed to enter the 45k ride. So that’s what I did.
