Of the people here then I suppose so. GridGirl, myself and Gregor-y put in the most miles - that we know of.
fizzicist is also on my friends list but he seems to post here but once a year.
Ibby does more miles than that but he hasn't posted here for years.
It is always subjective!Quote:

Best case scenario: I end the month with just 20km less than in June. Not too many reasons to be cocky about July in my case. I also had a few festive days with plenty of intake... :rolleyes:
Planning on a 25mile ride with J4MIE tomorrow :)
Logged over 24 more today with the BOMB. I am going to completely trash Ioan this month in bike miles.. well maybe... if he doesn't get on his bike at all. :)
Mark,
Please PM me the forum challenge Endo links. I'll probably get my butt kicked, but if there are any total slackers doing less miles I'll have to call them out if some old guy with a POS old mountain bike is putting in more miles!
And I am planning a "try to keep up with Mark for 25 miles" cycle tomorrow :s . Go easy on me! :p :Quote:

He did struggle a bit on the hills to be fair ;) . But Chris Froome would too if he had to push Jamie's tyres along the road, they're about a foot wide :D
Once we were on the gravel I was the one going slow
You've got to love the sound of tyre roar when you're on a mountain bike. :D Good resistance training though in some respects.
I went out and did a relatively quick 103km. Feels good to be back on the bike. :)
In this area I can't see any good choice other than fat tires and tire roar. I don't think a lot of the skinny tired bikes would last well. So it's go slower and make it home or hurriedly break something most likely.Quote:

As compared to a decent road bike with skinny tires, my bike has got to be close to twice the effort at any speed over about 15 mph. 25 mph is pushing it, and that's if you have solid legs. :eek:
