2017 - A new year. A new beginning!

I don't know whether there's something in the wind or simply the idea of potentially riding through Europe later this year that's doing it, but this month I've achieved, in fact, exceeded my weekly 100KM goal and have managed to put 670 kilometres in already!

It's nothing really, in the way of distance, when one considers that during both of my exploits overseas, I was doing 100KM a day, fairly consistently day in and day out for weeks at a time, but hey, you've got to start somewhere right?!

With that in mind however and whilst I won't change my overall goal for the year, which would change somewhat if I end up going to Europe anyhow, I'm going to aim to do 200 kilometres a week for the remainder of Summer... 

I mean, the weather's good and it's not like I don't have time on my hands!

Lights Action Camera....

Whilst I've yet to even begin to explore what's possible in terms of recording my cycling adventures / training rides on the Go Pro camera. The camera I bought a couple of years ago in anticipation of "documenting" my trip through South America, but ultimately didn't end using because of:

• The lack of preparation time I had between it's purchase and the ride starting.
• The inability to keep everything that I was already running fully charged.
• The disk space limitations of my laptop computer.

Anyhow, that said, I am currently contemplating the idea of

• Learning how it works; and also
• Purchasing a Cycliq Fly6 Rear Light Camera

Why, well on the basis of the dangerous & inconsiderate attitude that many Australian motorists frequently display towards cyclists.

Now I know that it won't stop any potential incidents occurring but it will provide a bit of piece of mind that should something happen, that I've evidence to pass on to the authorities and / or my solicitors as to what's occurred.
