Oh well, not a good start to April, as forecast the rain came on around 5am and is set to be on for the entire day. Not such a keen cyclist that I wish to get a soaking

Huge difference in weather between Scotland and England just now. So jealous looking at some of the areas down south. A full 10 degrees warmer, much drier and less wind. Sounds lovelyMo you do enough anyway, good to take a day ( week, month 1/4) off once in a while

Damp and overcast here, it was raining a short while ago, but I still have some miles to clock up, got another 28 miles late on yesterday, best performance so far this year over distance, slightly better than Sunday with a little more climbing per mile by 11ft a mile, still nothing like your general ride Mo.Huge difference in weather between Scotland and England just now.

Sunday was 22ft/mile yesterday 33ft/mile, pretty flat in other words.

I have not used that measure of feet/mile before @Nigelnaturist
Looking at my rides recently they are between 8 and 45 feet per mile
(There is one 66 but think the Garmin has thrown up a spurious figure)

Mine are usually in the 30-40ft/mile mark, it is a better way of showing how difficult a ride may have been, its not perfect (nothing is), it also depends what site you use yesterday Bryton had it at 511ft gain rwgps 951ft garmin 687ft strava 664ft, I started with rwgps so use that for comparison data, though I keep the unit data as well. (at the moment a rider 20).
I do this after most rides, helps me to explain the difference in my average speed . Living in Essex I class anything around the 40ft/mile area as hilly (which most of mine are as I tend to get bored quickly on the flat so go looking for inclines). If I head to the coast that can be as low at 18ft/mile.

A bit like my rides Sat/Sun well 29 and 22, but it all depends which site you use for data, rwgps always seems higher than the others.

I dont look at bikes or try not toOff to buy some clipless pedals and look at (probably buy) a new bike
I usually use Stravas corrected elevation now, it can vary so much between sites but I figure as long as I use the same site it is ok!
