Flipping heck. Did a ride to ascertain my Lactose Threshold Heart Rate today. Have used this data to log my Heart Rate Zones, only for Garmin Connect to say there was an error sending the details to my Garmin. Grrr!

Erm. I'm using the Joe Friel book to generate the numbers, have gone Into my profile data and changed the % for start and end of each and went to upload but its playing silly devils and not working. It did earlier today on my 'perceived/guessed' data

Right I forgot my H.R.M. typical.
But this is the data, a little disappointed with 14.68mph, but I did 2813ft climbing in 38.3miles an avg of 73.43ft/mile which actually made it the most difficult ride I have done ever from records, the difficulty was 147 over the 38miles compared with yesterdays of 64.78 over 53.3 miles, and 1.22 per mile yesterday and 3.84 today.
So on reflection 14.68mph avg wasn't so bad especially as i was setting p.b's 5 miles from home. 15 in total.
These are the three hills i climbed, and I know Mo will say nothing to them.
Storrs Hill works out at 425ft/mile though it's only 0.4miles and 170ft 6.6mph avg 3:50
Netherton Lane This i have done before, but bettered my time by 30's or so. 2.3miles 410ft 3.2%avg 9.9mph.
Then this Haigh lane climb to junction 0.9miles 5.7%avg 275ft gain 7.4mph, this is the one i discovered I struggle setting off on a 10% grade (or there about's as it increases slightly before the junction)
I found out about it when I met the tarmac, weakness possible, but I thought one car driver might have stopped.
Full ride. http://www.strava.com/activities/76702791#

Try downloading garmin training centre, it's prtty basic, but does allow you to export the data, its the only stand alone piece of software i know that just displays the raw data as was in the unit.
First ten miles today, and without realising too! Just decided I'd go out for a quick ride whilst the sun was shining, which became an hour and a half meander, including a stop to chat with an old friend whilst he waited for the bus (might have talked him in to getting a bike if it wasn't for the fact I was doing my best beetroot impression at the time 
)
Was really impressed when I got home and saw I done ten and a bit miles, then more impressed when I spotted a 7th place on a Strava segment, then less impressed when I realised there were only 7 riders who'd done the section so I was sitting nicely at the bottom. Still, a top ten is a top ten in my books

Look hard enough to me! Well done.
Afraid I can't seem to get so into all the data though. I just want to ride and not really bother analysing it too much, but we are all different.

How do you think it compares with what you do, I can tell you i hurt on that last one.Look hard enough to me! Well done.

The usual Andrew shenanigans with gps routes. Didn't check my route properly before hand and one of the roads I'd set to follow was a gravel track bridleway (Part of the 'The Salt Way' route near Bredon Hill). I had taken note of village names and tried to follow this, but each time it 're-routed' the gps claimed I had 70 miles to go, so came back to familiar territory. Was a bit down about it till I approached home and gps cheerily said, 'Course Completed'...I found that very funny. The Route I ended up with had a few busy roads, so not the pleasant day I'd hoped for, but mileage worked out close to what I'd planned. Route planned for tomorrow...straight to the bookshop for paper maps.

They are possibly shorter but steeper than many around here. I would probably struggle on them too. I think I prefer long drags rather than the really steep ones where you run out of gears and can't get started again if you stop.

It does sort of creep up on you, and dont worry I am bottom of quite a few.First ten miles today, and without realising too!

Thats what happened to me, but fortunately it was at the junction or rather 5 yards or so short of it ( a cars length or so, farking idiot had just over took me and braked in front of me, and as he took off I ended up on the deck), so i didn't lose to much time getting back up and finishing the right hand turn section on one of the other segments on the same road.They are possibly shorter but steeper than many around here. I would probably struggle on them too. I think I prefer long drags rather than the really steep ones where you run out of gears and can't get started again if you stop.

We are all different with our strengths and weaknesses..........and I only have about 8stone 6lbs to drag uphill.
