even 0.2 mph at 13 mph is 1.3%, you also have to remember you have some pretty good climbs in your rides.Yes, average length of ride has got longer I suppose and average speed slightly higher than it was but nothing great.

Yes, suppose you are right. Have been doing a bit more climbing. This mornings ride had a couple of cat 4 hills so I should be pleased with that.even 0.2 mph at 13 mph is 1.3%, you also have to remember you have some pretty good climbs in your rides.
I know I would be, p.b.'s are good but they come in all shapes and sizes, the most you have climbed, ect... strava not very good at these.Yes, suppose you are right. Have been doing a bit more climbing. This mornings ride had a couple of cat 4 hills so I should be pleased with that.
Well done. It's a great feeling.I've had to make a few more holes in my belt again, just measured and that's 5 inches lost around my waist since I restarted cycling also down to 17st 10lb![]()
I think you will get away with it Mo with the mileage your doing.Well done. It's a great feeling.
I have had a bad dose of the munchies lately mind you. Ate a family bag of crisps this morning and a brunch bar.![]()

The slight downside of the weight loss is none of my clothes fit properly, but I can live with this. Might have to plan a shopping trip soon.

Had a similar moment last week, unclipped left foot then rested foot back on pedal and reclipped!!! Result, opps!!!
Just nipped out on my favourite 8 miler to try out the pedal clips properly, felt generally good but was slower (avg 15.8 ) just need to build up more confidence with them.
Lovely sunny day here with a slight warm breeze.
I think I am out again soon with @SueEvesham when she gets back from school before lunch.![]()

The money I have saved on fuel for my truck has gone to fuel for me. At least the tax on food is cheaper.

Probably tastes better too
I try not to compensate with extra fuel since there's still plenty left in my "savings account". Summer should make it even easier to enhance both sides of the power / weight ratio with salads and such. For every Kg of body fat there are 7,000 kcal waiting to be burned or about 200km worth of cycling at my current weight / effort level. Providing I'll keep up the effort and the holiday food will taste horrible (seriously doubt that) I should be back in the "normal" BMI range by the end of summer / autumn.

Another 6 miles with @SueEvesham in 35 mins, I think she is hooked.
Clever so n so, how would you describe a good climb then. (besides grammar and English were not my strongest subjects).Surely that is an oxymoron?
