In order to achieve the 2005 distance goal[1], rather than miss it by an
embarrassingly small margin, I went out for a spin on Boxing Day.
On the fixer.
My back started aching after 9 km and though it didn't get much worse
for the remaining 45, just about everything else came out in sympathy.
How some of you lot manage things like L-E-L on these upright doofers is
a mystery worthy of the attentions of Sherlock Holmes...
1 - 10,000 km; reached with about eight hours to spare :-)

a) Be fit
b) Have no excess lard
c) Have no beard.
The negative of all of the above qualifies you to ride a downwrong 🙂

IME the positive of those doesn't help with riding an upwrong either
innit. 😉

That I managed 56 km after having not ridden that far inna-non-Dark-
Side-stylee for at least 16 years suggests I must be doing /something/
right...
Quoted message said:b) Have no excess lard
I'll get back to you on that one...
Quoted message said:c) Have no beard.
No beard here, your honour...

And then there was light and He thought it was good, so He threw the

17 and a bit, miles per day, not too bad at all!

That would be me, then. Still prefer a downright to an upwrong :-)
