I've run over 120kms in October. I think that's the most all year . Now... hibernation awaits .

No! If you rest you rust! Keep at it

I've walked 110miles (177km) in October, a new record, exactly the same distance cycling 110 miles!

You aren't slow on a bike, your bike is just slow on the road, big difference. We should go to Hamsterley Forest or somewhere where I can rent a mountain bike. Of course if it's too cold for you

Mark, I am definitely slow Still need to see about maybe getting a road bike next year, been thinking about it quite a lot. Not been to Hamsterley much, I was down in Dalby a month or so ago and absolutely loved it, think I will get a forest pass for there next year and head down more often, probably the most enjoyable ride of my bike I've had and most importantly not too difficult!! If you fancy heading down sometime that'd be cool, but I definitely won't be on the bike until it warms up - need to give it a proper wash and polish this weekend, rallying the next weekend and then I am off to Kenya where there will be a severe lack of exercise

Was on the exercise bikes in the gym a few times this week (nice and warm inside) and found it extremely hard work, only did about 5 miles each time but was totally dead with sweat dripping all over the floor :\

123km for myself... very far from the 199 done in August. And there were 158 in September. I must stop this trend.

Aha! You totally should! Massive difference in road vs MTB, and everyone should have both anyway! Just ask me because I know quite a bit about different road bikes etc now If you need inspiration to get road biking check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZmJtYaUTa0

Nice! Haven't been there before but definitely up for giving it a go

You're always in Africa you!

They are hard work! That's the point of them! Most gyms are far too hot. Excercise bikes should have built in massive fans really.

I've slacked off this month. About 210 miles on the bike, and 14-15 walking.

But all the bike miles remain on the BOMB (Beat Old Mountain Bike). Maybe I should use a conversion factor to road bike miles, kinda like dog years?

Or a golf handicap.

Endomondo indicates 635 miles for October. Only half of it is my commute, though:

May I mention again how much I truly hate the image size requirements that are geared for resolution and bandwidth concerns that are over twenty years old?

Great photo. I wish I had something that interesting to ride to locally. We do have some nice areas, but the roads here are taking your life in your own hands. Though I'd cover more distance and see more on a road bike, I think I'll stay off of most of the roads around here. It simply isn't worth it.

But really as long as I get the exercise I don't mind the distance factor. As it is now we have several areas I can bike to and do a little exploration on the trails and such that wouldn't be suitable for a road bike. I might be able to get away with a not too skinny semi road tire, but slicks are out of the question unless I want to stay to the roads.

72km in 6 consecutive, out of which 4 were work days.. and a long run of 20km... so yeah, in your face stupid autumn!

Getting cold and icy here. But yesterday I still managed to go out and do my longest ever ride from home - 66 miles, 11 miles further than I'd been from home before. And only 2 miles shorter than my longest ever ride

I'd really like to work up to doing a century ride, but daylight is against me this time of year, yesterday it was only just getting light when I set out, and it was starting to get dark again when I was getting back.
