Don't know whats up with me today pretty slow, but then I checked my difficulty score for the day, for the 27 miles I did in total the difficulty was 499.5 or 40.19ft/mile (1085ft in total) yesterday 40.8miles 1620ft 39.71ft/mile you would think it more difficult and it was just 502, but I wouldn't have thought enough to be 1.5 mph slower overall. I guess it just show how tough the little trip into town and back is really, not that it is just in comparison.

Still in rest mode from Rapha so here are month stats as doubt I'll get back out tomorrow evening either , start back racking up the miles once August hits

Rides 18 : a lot more shorter gruellers taken this month than the norm
Miles 609 : in and around average mileage for a month
Elevation 49187ft : insert Rapha inflation
Ratio ft per mile 80 : Rapha Inflation strikes again
Speed : 14.5mph - down due to riding 30milers where about 25 of them are up hill to complete Rapha

Mine is down to 34.78ft/mile due to the forays into Lincs and Notts avg for the year is about 37ft/mile last year it was more mid 40's but I am coming to the conculsion that the rwgps corrected dats from the 500 (.fit file) is getting screwed in conversion, though I did do more climbing up until Aug or so but even after that it still seems high compared with this years data, it might be right but I remember lots of unexpected peaks and troughs I am not getting with the R20 and 705

Well won't be riding today so here are the month's stats
450 miles for the month
Average speed 14.9 mph - does not seem fast but creeping up
(There were two rides with a number of climbs)
17,345 feet climbed (That's 38.5 feet/mile Which may be the highest month)

Maybe a ride tomorrow

Mine is currently just below 26 feet per mile for the month - this is per Strava, using RWGPS it would be about a third more. Actual elevation is currently a whopping 54,449 feet, I might just break 55,000 feet with tonights ride home from work.

I just did 16 miles on my neighbour's spin bike so no elevation. Lol Sweat pouring off me and the saddle on it is an instrument of torture

 

[stevey]

Yep i am itching to get back too it, but have to be patient.....

Yeh I'm the same. I have to limit myself to 30 minutes on an exercise bike or it will start to rust

oops.... apparently not. I am now however after my 21 mile commute! though it did take me several miles to work out that it should not be that difficult and eventually when I pulled over I found my rear brakes totally jammed on...

It could have been worse, the rear brake might not have been jammed on.
