I first used a cyclecomputer around Easter 2002. Today, because of my assortment of wheel sizes, I have two. One reads 3,601 miles; one reads 21,445 miles. This is a total of 25,046 miles. The Earth's circumference is 24,901 miles. I've ridden around the Earth!

I'm too lazy to write ride reports but I've done a 200km ride every weekend this month, which was my original mad plan. If I hadn't just found my downtube cracked I'd be happier. :-/

Works out as about 70 miles a week... If I'd kept up on my teenage commitment to ride 100 miles a week (which I did, for about three years), I would now be more than halfway to the moon.

You only need to keep this up for another sixty years to cover the full mileage to Tranquility Base.

Curiously, I did ride just over 100 miles a week commuting from 2002 to the end of 2004, but then obviously had a few thin years.
