Does anyone have Miles's contact details or his Strava name (can't find anything obvious through searching)? I'd like to be able to add him to the OYTT visualization when he starts next week, but I'll have trouble without access to his tracks on Strava.
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
Just like to point out that the only person to hold the year record twice was also from Victoria, Ossie Nicholson.He got it by cycling Melbourne to Portsea and back every day for a year, and won it again by doing that twice a day for at least part of the year.I hope Miles chooses a more interesting approach.
This bike gets ridden as my commuter, about 155 km (96 miles) per day
I'm hoping there will be a single yacf thread for Miles Smith, like that for Kurt S, rather than a new thread each day - which we need for Steve... Good luck Miles.
Well, according to another post on here, he used to commute most (160km of 200km!) of that route daily. So he already knows he can do it mentally. I know that road well. It's enormously popular with cyclists, though it has been the source of some conflicts with motorists. It's a beautiful route, mostly along the beach. Very exposed when storms come across the bay, but I guess he's used to that too.
They do sound like a bunch of idiots.
You can imagine why motorists are not happy.

No doubt there are a few dickheads - but the same applies to motons on any given road, globally.
