you can gain 5 watts by getting circumcised - the air doesn’t get trapped inside the foreskin causing a balloon effect which increases drag. Plus it’s a more streamlined shaped, generating nice vortices behind the glans to give you a bit of extra boost.

Too much thought gone into this.

Only 8431.5km for me this year so far. I must be a pathetic example.

Is that considered a lot ? I’m on 13,500 miles this year. But I only managed 100 Miles today. 

You're right, 6,000 miles isn't what you'd consider a major achievement, back when I was commuting the short 9 mile a day to route to college in 1986 I knocked out about 5000 miles that year with a single ride at the weekend tagged on the day after or before playing a game of rugby. This was on a Raleigh Winner.

Given how much better bikes are and how much more serious some are (clearly very given 300miles on xmas eve) and a country that's not known for shitty weather it's hardly something to broadcast as a big deal.
Well done on the miles, I never topped 10,000 in a year but came close a fair few years.

He cared enough to comment on a news story that he'd cared enough to read and someone else cared enough to write.

Call me a wimp, but 100 km today was quite enough...

I'm more concerned that you mount a pump to your frame and your cages don't match

Hmmm... Three rides, each taking around 10 hours, on the same day. I see why you're just a touch suspicious.
