Well it took 240mg's of codeine to shift that pain, maybe it was to soon.

Only had an hour and a bit this morning so had to forgo an intended longer Sunday ride, so went up a gear on my shorter, daily route and hit a new PB on avg speed by 0.1kmh. It all counts

Got a training ride this morning put on by bhf and Skyride, so even though much rain forecast, will definitely be going

Just unsure about what to wear

(I need to toughen up as the London to Brighton could be rainy)

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Can't ride but have scratched a little itch.

Been wanting to get some new tyres (slightly fatter and with some tread for the gritty loose lanes where I live).

So just ordered some 35mm Marathon Deluxe from Rose.

Next best thing to cycling!

Have had the kids all weekend while the other half has been working 13hr shifts on Fri and Sat so got out today. Woke up feeling like staying in bed but went out. Headed out towards Charnwood to tackle a few hills but struggled and legs felt heavy. Think I'm coming down with the cold the kids have had.

Speed picked up a bit on the flatter terrain and then it rained and I got soaked. Ended up with 22 miles on the garmin. Not near as many as I wanted but glad to have got out.

Got to get the miles in over the next few weeks as only 34 days left until my Tour of Wessex 3 day Sportive!

Managed 43ish miles over dartmoor yesterday. Got a bit distracted on the way home, missed a turning and added about 5 extra miles to the journey. I really need to find a few more hills to add into my training back in Hampshire. My legs are still aching today.

Hubby's training plan said he had to do 2 1/2hrs but the weather was wet and windy so we weren't sure if it'd happen. We decided to risk it and if it was too horrid we'd turn back and he would finish the rest on the turbo. We did manage the whole lot though so that's a bonus and although we were getting tired by the end, it wasn't a bad ride. Refuelled with scrambled eggs on toast and now yawning away whilst vegging in front of crap on the telly

Happy Easter everybody

I'm working.

I have got a lap that I would like to break into segments and as much as I've tried I cant seem to get the results I wanted so can anyone help. Is it Garmin or Strava that I should be looking at to do this?

Do it from Strava. To into your ride and do it there. Not managed it on iPad, I had to use laptop
Hope that helps although there will be other more 'tech-savvy' folks who might explain it better

@Boon 51 on the page that shows your ride click on the spanner tab (actions) create segment use the the sliders on the top to set the rough length then the forward/backward (start and end) buttons to refine it.
This is using a computer, phones ect may be different.

Thanks Nigel, I knew there'd be a better explanation
