Dahhhhhhh. Sorry, found bike 2 . I'm not usually such a techno-dummy!

Thanks everybody. I'll do this bit then try the sensor bit (need to make sure I'm 10m away from the other bike each time I think)

Time for coffee methinks!

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

Hurrah. Sorted I think.

Thanks everybody. What a great lot of virtual friends I have!!!

All the extra hill training I had been doing was excellent for last week ride over the mendips but yesterday it all came crashing down with a hill up the road from me called Naish hill( my white whale ) more work needed.

Its pouring down with rain here, so today will be a coffee day.

Out and about on my 17.7 mile loop this morning. A couple of PRs, due to a nice tailwind, which saw me averaging 15.8mph and max 24.2mph to start with - really pleased with that Then reality struck back as I headed for home into the headwind...oh well, it's all character building and I ended up with an average 14.1mph & 1hour 15mins for the ride.

All good fun

One can still have fun in the rain.

Well, my cadence-sorting from last night worked for this morning's turbo session, although I had a very slight snag in that my Garmin got a bit confused that there were lots of other HRMs around too and I had to go outside with it to help it see only mine - bless, it just wanted some alone time with me. Had to rush into the shower and then to work, so I haven't managed to upload my data. Worked very hard though, so I hope it's showing loads of burnt calories.
Take care folks, have a fab Saturday afternoon

The new love of my life .

The 10 miles back from the bike shop turned into 32 and 1000ft at ~16mph average, and that's before I fitted the clipless pedals.

When riding my new Defy 2 home today I noticed that I got far more greetings from other road bike riders than I am used too when riding my hybrid. Am I now one of the in-crowd?

i noticed that too when i was on my MTB very little was said Now though get quite a few hi's and hello's.

That said there are the elitist cyclists around these parts who take a look at your bike brand first then turn a blind eye....
