So there I was cycling home this evening, knowing that my aim of cycling 10,000 miles this calendar year was going to be reached and surpassed, as i arrived home - Where were the crowds of well wishers, the trumpet fanfare, the across street banner to herald my arrival? - Sadly they were absent, but actually the important thing was that I knew, and my legs were pretty aware of it too!
I even succumbed to a celebratory beer!
So a few facts:
- 10,000 miles equates to roughly 16,093 kilometres for all you Europeans.
- 10,000 miles in 330 days works out at an average of cycling just over 30miles for every calendar day this year!
- Actual cycling time has been just under 584 1/2 hours or 24.3ish days!
- Average Speed just over 17mph.
- Total number of individual rides - 383, ranging from a couple of miles to the longest day at 135miles
- Over 574,210 Calories (kcal) burned
