    after all that hard work, victory in our company size group is ours!
    (actually, crushing, demolishing, annihilating victory is ours)

    (leftmost plaque – most days cycled per person – 12,16 (out of 13)
    rightmost plaque – most kms cycled per person – 264,39)

    mind you, the proof is in the pudding!

    with his feminine side, is siggimus

    at the same time, retaining his considerable masculinity intact & unblemished

    this is achieved by drinking pitch black industrial strength tar from a pink cup with a cute doggy & lots of hearts

  • 400,82

    while endlessly proud of himself, siggimus is quite possibly & probably dead

    on the last day of cycle to work, he somehow managed to go 77,55 km, bringing the grand total for those 13 days to 400,82 km

    but how did siggimus do it? what’s the secret?

    superhuman strength was involved, of course, but mostly it was fed by an overgrown stubbornness, that inability to surrender to the facts and admit defeat, even in the face of death or serious mutilation

    in short, during cycle to work 2010, siggimus managed to:

    ps: now with updates!

    • cycle all 13 days
    • get a bit ‘lost’ a few times
    • do 400,82 km total
    • which took 21:13:28 in the saddle
    • … an average of 30,83 km per day
    • … and 170,38 km more than last year
    • … which took an average of 01:37:57 per day
    • eat 7 flies
    • … an average of 0,53846 flies per day
    • go about 50% over his goal of 20 km per day
    • do 216,32 km over the ‘necessary’ 182 km (14 per day)
    • have a shortest day of 17,35 km (only one way)
    • longest day was 77,55 km
    • longest day took 04:40:09
    • have only one flat tire
    • discover that cycling 14 km with a bottle of pepsi will shake it violently
    • discover that violently shaking a bottle of pepsi will make it squirt violently upon opening
    • discover that half a bottle of pepsi is not a lot when you’re very thirsty

    yay!

    you’ll find all the juicy bits (read: uninteresting anal details) here

    (feel free — nay, feel obliged! — to lavish all kinds of praise on siggimus for this feat in comments down under)

  • Extremely proud, but quite possibly dead. Cycled 77 km today, bringing the total for 13 days of cycle to work just over 400 km. pu ha!

    Thinking of taking the car tomorrow…
