2012 Week 47

Week 47 (w/e 25 November 2012)

Miles: 108.2
Total: 6017.8

And so I made it to my 6000 mile target, with 5 weeks to spare.

It wasn't quite as easy as that though. Having sprinted to 75 miles by Wednesday evening, the rest of the week turned into a bit of a stagger to the line thanks mainly to bad weather. Thursday was completely washed out. I had things to do on Friday afternoon so couldn't get out for the usual hour, contenting myself with a 30 minute ride in the evening that took me to 83 miles. A ride into town and back on Saturday afternoon took me to 93 miles but then wintry drizzle rolled in. I'd made plans to go out to the pub that night anyway. That just left Sunday to mop up the remainder and thankfully it was clear and fine.

New target: 6500 miles

2012 Week 45

Week 45 (w/e 11 November 2012)

Miles: 112.3
Total: 5789.5

By Thursday night I'd got 86 miles in the bag. The following afternoon I went down to Manchester for the night. When I got home on Saturday teatime it was raining. Sunday afternoon was clear, so I polished off the 100 in one ride and pushed on to 112 later that evening.

A weekend trip to Halifax meant that I still required 13 miles when I got home on Sunday afternoon. Fortunately the weather was good, so I got the 100 sorted with two short rides.
