Last ride for 2012

On New Years Eve, I set out with a long time friend +Andrew Herrmann to do a bit of an expedition out to Mount Cotton looking at his new commute (ironically to roads we used to travel a lot as kids)

It was a great way to close out a huge year of cycling with a lot of first (thanks to the wonders of Strava.com I know what they all are)

Here's a few of the highlights for the year:

Big Rides
Midi Smiddy
Arthur's Seat
Cootha Challenge
Brisbane to Gold Coast
Ride for Home
Cyc'd Tour de Noosa

Cycling firsts
Most Kilometers in a Year (9158km)
1000km in a month (June, November, December)
Biggest Climb Ever (553m)
Longest Ride Ever (217km Tour de Noosa)

Other (not very) interesting Stats...
Flats - 25
Best Tyre (no flats) 2x Continental GP4000s (1347km)
Worst Tyre (quickest flat) Vittoria Rubino Pro III (flat in 5km) (to be fair a Continental GP4000s came a close second at 10km)
Most Mileage: Continental Gatorskin 2678km (Still going)
Number of hours spent out on bike neglecting my family: 409
Crashes: 3

A huge thanks has to go to +Vanessa Freke for not killing me for being out on the bike so much! And thanks to everyone I got to cycle with this year was lots of fun.

Is that most mileage stat for most mileage without a flat?

That was most milage over all without needing to be replaced. The next closest was about 1800km that had too many cuts in it to keep going. I think that Gatorskin had 2 flats.
