Overtook someone on a hill today, that's progress enough for me to break out the fine whisky in celebration!
Also signed up for the Manchester-Blackpool night ride this September. Better make that drink a double...

I have a satmap mounted on my handlebars for mapping, and a hand held garmin for geocashing. The iPhone is just seamless when it comes to recording and uploading strava, also playing music as I ride (through speakers).
Yes, the garmin bike GPS doohikies are going to be better for cycling but I've been investing in satmap for years for hiking and the maps are expensive.

Watching Chris Hoy - looking for some tips - OH thinks my days of Olympic glory have gone but Chris Hoy is telling me to ignore the negative thoughts.

Can't say I noticed any difference when I changed my Durano Plus wire beaded ones to kevlar beaded, but definitely noticed a difference with the GP4000S but wasn't happy with their puncture resistance. Since I won't be bothered about speed much when I get back to it I think I will revert to the Durano Plus. It will be coming into the autumn by the time I get back on board anyway. Not even sure I will be comfortable on the road bike initially anyway so may well use a hybrid at least for the first few weeks.

One problem I have been having recently is poor contact on the HR strap. HR disappears mid ride. Think I have lost some fat from the chest area (not so bad to be called moobs)
Strap slides and even by showing it about I don't get a contact. Might try it on the back! (Used to work in medical electronics, so I know this will probably work)

@Stonechat have you changed your shirt or do you wear different ones of different make if so does it occur when wearing one particular or is it all the time, battery change the battery, my strap failed after about 16 months.
