Virtual Fitness challenge 2012


I have a fitness challenge for the year that is to cycle&row a virtual track from Bideford, Devon to Eiffel Tower in Paris. It's 500 miles of road and 23 miles of sea and the target it to get there before birthday in June. To track the endeavour I have a wall chart printed out A3 with a bike ikon sprite to track progress. Sample to the left.

The driving instruction have a cumulative mile count that makes tracking easy. To make progress any time I am out on road or mountain bike I use Runtastic application to collect the miles.

Going well so far with 57 miles chalked up this month.

The chart was built using directions from Google maps and In-Design to compose.

It's the middle of Feb and I have only done the first 100 cycle Miles of this challenge. Running a bit behind the curve, hoping to get a few more miles in when the weather get a bit warmer.
