No
Its a new course & I slowed badly on the second lap !

But the great thing about TT's is that it gives you something to aim at ....... and hopefully beat !

Well after going for it this morning on one section and blasting up another climb on way back, I have just uploaded my stats only to find that half my bloody commute is marked as hazardous ffs. Kinda put a sour taste in all of this.

No better way to race than against the clock and ultimately yourself!

Well, I though I'd give this a go today for the first time, so signed up, downloaded the app for my phone and logged in.

At the start of my ride, pressed "Record a ride", waited for gps lock, display set itself from dashes to zeros and off I went, hell for leather on the segments I wanted a bash at. Got back completely knackered only to find I'd recorded naff-all.

It turns out that the (unlabelled) roundel button on the screen was the Start button and not, as I assumed (having already pressed "Record a ride") the Stop button. Doh!

^^^^^^^^ read the bloody manual

Manuals are for wimps. And for those who don't want to waste their time on needless effort over a 30 mile ride. Oh......wait a minute.......let me think this through.

Managed to finish the classics challenge today, how is everyone else doing?

Hope there is a climbing challenge soon (seems May is another mile munching one) - dont think there has been one since rapha rising last july.

Yep - managed to complete it a few days ago too. Mustard mitt that the distance challenges are getting a bit boring. Have yet to participate in a climbing one (living in the flatlands of S London, it's just as well).
