There seem to be a lot more people doing a lot more miles this year. I'm struggling to stay in the top third.(Ok, I know it's not a competition but it's demoralising all the same.)
I find it has the opposite effect and encourages me to get out and put the miles in

(but not too close, I don't want your germs 



It was a wee bit icy this morning so route was modified a wee bit too take account. After the cafe stop and near noon we went up the twisty hill road we normally come down and it was still covered in slushy ice
.

I usually treat the wee bit before as a separate ride and log it as transport rather than the club run which starts from the Glen Gates we never finish there though. It also reduces the chance of elevation data error, it lets the garmin settle down, the extra 1.65miles this morning was 431ft whereas its normally in the region of 195ft.
