Cycling 2017

An annual challenge, “ride every day,” and in 2017 I came the closest I’ve come to making it a reality. Some days I only made it around the block, or up to the local bakery, but every day of the year except two I got out on the bike and managed to clock up at least 1.5 ㎞. The two exceptions were two days spent in bed with the flu, at a holiday house in the Otways, while my bike languished outside on the roofrack of the car.

The other challenge is my annual goal of 5200 ㎞, one I’ve struggled to meet for the last few years.

This year for the first time I resoundingly beat my distance goal – with one last interesting ride on New Year’s Eve. The Audax Alpine Classic in January has me up above the required average and sets a good start, then two family mini-tours during the school holidays kept it up there. 6277.2 ㎞ according to strava, perhaps I should bump the goal up a bit higher for 2018…

So here it is, the entire year with the exception of [2017-09-09 Sat] and [2017-09-10 Sun]. Not easy, and only possible when there are no non-cycling holidays in the year!

…The Site

Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you…

I experiment. I play. I write and I take pictures. Some of the site is organised around topics, other parts are organized by date, then there’s always the cross-references between them.

Its all been here a fairly long time. Like the papers on my desk, or the books on the bedside table, the pile just grew… and it all grew without much plan or structure. I try not to break URLs, so historical oddities abound.

Long ago it started as a learning experiment with a few static HTML pages, then I added a bit of server-side includes and some very ugly PHP. A hand-built journal/blog on top of that PHP, then a few experiments in moving to various static publishing systems. I’ve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years I’ve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remained… I never really liked jekyll and the ruby underneath always seemed so much black magic. So now the latest incarnation is Org mode and hugo.
