8000 v 462, vain or (in)sane

OK, a few months back I posted something likening mileage to vanity, and hours on the bike to sanity, well 8000 miles for 2010 says i am vain, and the corresponding 462.5 hours probably confirms my insanity too!

The stats, a shortened week during half term, due to a much needed and much enjoyed short break in Ireland, produced 75 miles, followed by last week's 206 brings me up to a non too shabby 8002 for the year.

The rain and fluctuating temps are not helping the cause at the moment but am determined to grit my teeth and push on - 9000 miles has to be achieved now! Cleaning 2 bikes most weeks is pretty galling, but i do get a kick out of riding a gleaming bike even if it only lasts 5 minutes!

In other news a mixed bag at the European Track champs, Hoy misses out on Gold, but Kenny takes it in the keirin and the Team Pursuit boys bring it home too. Rumour mill and transfer moves still going on - hey it is the off-season after all - ho hum soon be January!
