I treated myself to a new bike at Christmas but haven't been able to get out on it much because of work commitments and the weather. But for a couple of week I have been planning yesterday's ride weather permitting . So I set of yesterday full pelt, raced up the inclines, nailed it down the descents and gave it full hog on the flats. I returned home after 50 miles, my heart bigger than a lion, my lungs larger than a horse. My thighs bigger than Mark Hughes' . Feeling great that I have set a benchmark to try a keep up through summer. Can you imagine my dismay when I go to load my results onto garmin only to find out I didn't record my ride . Gutted isn't the word.

Don't you look at your Garmin when riding?

Oh, you "forgot" to start your Garmin? How very convenient... sorry, I meant unfortunate.

Yes, the garmin was on when I started the ride it asked me do I want to start recording. I must of pressed no by mistake because I had my gloves on. Then it just shows everything but is obviously not recording anything
In all fairness I don't know if the ride was good or not, I thought it was. But I'll never know

Your ride was so rubbish the Garmin deleted it for you to save embrassment?
Probably right pal

I did it once last year on a good workout ride round Loch Katrine then over the Dukes Pass which was a personal achievement at the time. I fired up Strava before setting off, and was really looking forward to seeing the stats when I got back. Initially, I couldn't believe it when I realised that I hadn't recorded anything but soon realised that it didn't really matter as I had the time of my life and will do it again this year.
Glad I'm not the only one to do this
