Aim to complete at least 5000 miles in 2011

And another 20 in the bank...

So another 20 miles in the bank. I've added a ticker because I'm going to try and complete 5000 miles this year. Don't know where I've got that number from, but its 500 miles a month between now and November, when it starts to get too cold to cycle.
Must remember to bank the miles when the weather is rideable, instead of having them on credit LOL. I'm really good at putting off my ride until tomorrow... and then the weather turns bad.
Bad credit!

It's good to have a target!

But too cold to cycle in November? I remember November being warmer than it is now! Just wear more layers!

This time last year (Feb/March) I had my best road bike out and I was wearing shorts. At the moment i'm in full winter gear and i'm riding on icy/snow covered roads.

November was abnormally warm last year.

I'm in Bolton. It did get cold, I was wearing lots and lots of layers! But I think it is colder now, although today was good! Only one base layer!

I got frost nip on my ears some time in Dec / Jan. It was increadably painfull!

I couldn't go out of the house without wearing a hat and I was wearing 3 hats at one point while riding.
(I've never had to wear a buff or a hat before.)
