Show us your.......newbie progress!

I've seen this phrase on the forum a few times. What does N+1 mean?

There is also a w-1 which usually means you have pushed your luck too far with an n+1 assuming you have a w (or in my case a h) in the first place

That's probably why I've remained happily single...........nobody to tut and complain at my purchases! My spare bedroom has 5 bikes in it.

Now I've moved from distance to climbing my body is experiencing a whole new level of pain. Those 100 mile rides seem easy in comparison

Todays effort - 30 miles / 2500ft

Next goal - a suffer score over 200. My heart can take it, not sure about the legs.

Not being a premium member I do not get suffer scores.
Certainly a worthy effort - don't think I could get 2500 feet in 30 miles here

Been out this afternoon covering a variation of my normal routes approaching Windsor Great Park via my usual circuitous CHertsey route

Still a bit windy

39.30 miles at 15.5 mph 1286 feet of climbing
Speed a little less but I put it down to wind and extra layer on the legs, even though these bib tights are good
Still enjoyed a nice ride

Edit just noticed PBs on Prune Hill and St Ann's Hill

There is another factor which is £ - n
n is how much poorer you are after

No riding here.
Wash out week for me, still fighting off ManFlu and saving all my energy for work

OH is now showing early signs of flulike symptoms. Should be a fun weekend

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I'm happy to swap a w for a bike if anyone is interested, has a few miles on the clock so am not expecting a high specced carbon bike in return.

Didn't venture out on two wheels today given we had rain that would have made Noah reach for his toolkit. Typically, as I drove to work the sun came out. Might cycle to my ma's tomorrow morning although I'm told there's gonna be fog. Humongous whoop.

Well its kept me off the bike since Monday and I usually ride through a cold. Some good news finally got the handle bars off the Carleton after 13 months or so.

What's her back like? this w is currently useless.. Also more importantly what is her cooking like and most importantly her bike maintenance skills like? I need to change the chain on my road bike and sort the indexing out and the oh's triban 3 needs ann overhaul, new chainset, cassette, chain, pedals, and an very good clean prior to being sold...

Thanks for the explanation and also making me laugh with the more complicated formulas.

Her back is fine, her cooking and bike maintenance skills are both at the same level, I won't say what level that is but her bike maintenance skills are worse than mine and I am uselss

Anything +1 cycling related = a month of earache in my house at which point one has to go into selective deafness mode until it's safe again
