Daniel's Log

[aesir22]

I have decided to keep a log of my cycling in the early days. I'd like to keep track of distances and times. Started yesterday so:

Date: 22/07/15
Distance: 5.25miles
Time: 35min
Review: Really enjoyed it! Felt a bit awkward at first, having not cycled in a couple of decades, but a nice little route!
Accumulated Miles: 5.25

Date: 23/07/15
Distance: 10.38miles
Time: 1 hour 7 minutes
Review: Enjoyed the ride, bit of a stumble going up a bank, messed up gears. Came close to falling off but didn't! Need to be a bit more cautious on the road - generally ok but misjudged a distance coming off a cycle path. No cause for concern but would have been more comfortable waiting. Started to flag at 7.5 miles, and back started to ache - terrible posture! A$$ still sore from the saddle!
Accumulated Miles: 15.63

Excellent, well done keep it up, but surely using something like strava will be easier to log than writing it all down after every ride ?

Buy something like an Edge 200 now! If you stick with cycling it will bug the living daylights out of you if you have 'missing' data further down track.

You will be able to get much better stat's/graphs etc by using something like this.

Good luck with your rekindled interest!

Thanks @ianrauk for that information,

I never stop leaning.

All the years I've been cycling, I haven't a clue what is my average mileage is,

Now this has bought me into the 21st century.
Cheers

[aesir22]

[Easytigers]

Keep at it...you'll soon be riding much further than you ever thought possible :-)

 

[aesir22]

Review: new helmet was a bit dodgy fit really well but the foam padding on the strap at the front doesnt cover the strap properly and it was digging into my forehead. Gonna have to return it I think! On the plus side, gel saddle cover worked wonders!!
