So much damage to your property?

No water. Hardly got in but there could be water sitting under the floorboards.

Did a ride today, 20.5 miles @ 15.6 mph toward Esher common and back, cannot upload

Popped out as had the afternoon free, don't now when I'll be going out again (or if I do if I will be able to push as hard as I would like) for a couple of weeks as am visiting the dental hospital on the next couple of Fridays for some work. Hopefully I'll be able to keep doing this loop but at a more leisurely pace every other day to keep with my average daily mileage. I'll check with them what I should avoid, as I don;t fancy having blood gush out of my mouth in the middle of a climb.

Good to hear you're keeping doing the miles @Stonechat considering what's happening, you're going to ace the L2B if you keep going like this

Got my first long ride in, since September! Worked the route by compass rather than a planned route, which suits me and it's easy to chose when to turn back As it was I turned back to early, so I added one of my local loops. I took the ride at a casual pace( though the hills made me work harder) with a few 5/10 miniute breaks. fueled by Malt loaf (pre sliced and buttered the whole loaf) passing some beautiful places,I enjoyed the ride.

I keep having mine auto pause when I'm moving, and it's taking >1minute at times to get signal, is that what you mean?

When I set off it takes around 10 minutes to pick up a signal, sometimes longer

I usually turn mine on in the house while I am getting jacket, helmet, gloves on and by the time I get the bike outside it seems to nearly always have a signal. Very occasionally have to wait a matter of seconds.

Intresting, mine seems fine!

 

[stevey]

@Mo1959 I tend to do the same but lately is been taking ages

 

[Mo1959]

Won't be riding tomorrow by the sound of it. Rain lashing down and set to continue most of tomorrow. Shouldn't complain as we haven't had anything like down South but I can't remember when we last had any more than one dry day at a time.

Hmm, sounds dodgy. Wonder if it is on the way out?

 

[stevey]

Hope not only had it less than 6 months , although could update to the 500
