I get random kudos from overseas people too. I just thought I was special. Strava always wants me to follow Taylor Phinney too - DKY.
Recently I've been getting a LOT of random requests from unknowns on LinkedIn as well. I think tinfoil hats might be in order soon.

Re: How many kilometres did you ride in 2014?
How do you total your annual K's? Every time you go for a ride on the road or track (not spin) you count the kms. You could write them in a little book or make a spreadsheet. Then add them up like this: Ride 1 km + Ride 2 km ... + Ride n = Total :-) Personally I use a Garmin and Strava just tells me.

Re: FITZ'S CHALLENGE 2014
Would anyone(s) like a lift to and from? You'll have to fit in with my schedule however. I'll be going down Saturday arvo and returning Monday morning, aiming to be in Ashfield for work by 9:30am.
I've now got 4 bike racks so can fit a few bods in.

Some solid results for Bro and Max in JM15. Adrien and Lawrence in their first year of road racing too - doing well. Solid results everyone.
