We could get a full on CC train going on
I haven't got any CC kit, that's my excuseI recall only one guy sporting the CC commitment..
You can be Gaz's twin thenDon't think I'l bother next year, may choose a generic team kit like HTC or something
Some strava times are crazy
Wont be beaten on open roads by commuters
Shame as its my commute too
My two 2nd places in to a headwind still stand, quite notably I've cycled in with a ruined knee on single speed this morning putting in times that has only one GM cyclist faster. Quite suprised how slow people were considering I've been wanting to do that section of road in a group with no traffic lights for an age.
Your version of a headwind may differ from others!
In favourable conditions anyone can trump a time on strava, moreso if I was commuting a route and decided to sprint it whereas others on an event were probably pacing a much larger distance. Apples to Oranges I'm afraid.
If it's on next year, I'm planning on doing it. Was on decorating duty this bank holiday.
Did the kitchen.
SWMBO then decided to do the back hallway.
Then the downstairs bathroom.
Then because the newly-painted door made the sitting/dining room look bad the sitting & dining room needed to be done.
This led onto the hallway being done.
1 room turned into 6. She's away this w/end and has left me a huge list of painting jobs to do

Context is a great thing.
Haha - yes you look good in pink Gaz!
Yeah its good for seeing how good you are in part but overall things like Monday give a better pictureTrue, maybe.
I have seen people on strava using small sections of road and even downhill runs to beat the chest about. How on earth can you be KOM on a 200m descent?
Anyhow, I do like the ability to compare etc as it encourages one to cycle!

26quid for all of them thoHad an email today showing me photographs of me riding. Fair enough, £20 to buy one - but on tweeting their account, the resolution is only 2600x1800.
So I'll not be buying one of those!
