Cheers Nigel, just a scraped knee. It took longer to find the plasters than it did to fix the cut.

I also got out in shorts, s/s top and fingerless gloves. Took the road bike out and did my fastest ride ever (19mph per the gps, only 18.6mph per Strava) and completed the veloviewer challenge.

Time for a brew

C,mon Sue. Not nearly enough ladies on here and I am fed up trying to keep up with all these speedy guys!

Work, work, work, so first time out for 2 weeks. Tried a different route heading out and enjoyed a longer ride than usual for me. 24.5 miles, at an average of 13.3mph, and a giddy 115ft of elevation (not bad for the Fens)

take it you have not seen the weather forecast? rain tomorrow, Thursday & Friday for this area... (I count S-O-T due to cycling over there 2 or 3 times a week!)

Really nice ride today but I was overdressed. It's hard to get your mind out of winter after having to wrap up for so long. I think it was my fastest ever average speed (16.4 mph) which is cool considering how unfit i am!

Nice rides everyone, I developed a little clunk when I was out, I think the cassette may be lose, checked most other stuff, and as the wheel has only been on a week it is possible as it sounds similar to when I didn't do it right when I first started, strava as usual hasn't award at least 1 p.b. but as far as I can tell I got 3.

I would say crank, but could be anything even catching your front gear cable with the pedal can sound worrying.
mine disappears when you accelerated or constant power so its like the chain line is taught, but when you ease of a little and spin that's when you notice it.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Well strava still hasn't the elevation right rwgps has at 768ft.

and garmin at 400 ft

EDIT and finally 315ft on strava

I had an annoying clicking noise that got worse the faster I pedalled. I worked out it was the laces on my trainers hitting the bike on each revolution.

I had that with my previous shoes, these have Velcro and a ratchet strap.
