Did a rather painful 27 mile commute home last night. Was just enough to total 250km and 6000ft climbing in the last 4 days, a new pb. My legs are't quite as happy tho

Edge 200 reserved at Halfords - will collect later on today. £72 - which seems like a good deal.

Beautiful day out there folks!

Well done. So will we be seeing your rides on Strava soon?

Gorgeous morning here too. Tea and toast consumed so heading out with the pooch soon.

To be fair it is a midnight commute, so I have zero traffic to contend with. I do quite enjoy riding unlit roads at night. Using the same setup as this guy (I've got 2 premiums):

Lol....I don't think so. Anyway, just think how much you would get blown about in the wind with these aero wheels!

Walked into our local pub last night, local restaurant owner was in there and says "Would you please put together a team and represent our restaurant in a charity bike ride (50 miles) in a few weeks time (September)" ?

I replied "Ummm I'll have a think about it, I am quite busy in September"

My wife asks "What date"?

"7th of September"

"Oh he's got nothing on so he will definitely be up for that "!!

Went out for a ride
Cold came on late Sunday so it is first ride since then, decided to do 30 miles, so enough to test me and not too strenuous in case I was below par.
Still felt below par yesterday
When I was about 4 miles from home, I thought, bet my average speed is down. I checked the Garmin and it was 16.0 mph

So decided put push on harder for the last few miles

My ride is supposedly synching auttomatically through the new automatic sync from Garmin to Strava - it says the ride will appear in 3 to 5 minutes!!
Anyone else used this yet?
However it is 31.78 miles @ 16.21 mph
856 feet of climbing According to Garmin. When I planned the route it was 1110 feet!

Am well pleased at a good ride considering the last few days no felt so good
When Strava decided to sync will post the link
On Garmin it is
http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/559201013

Got bored waiting and manually uploaded to Strava
Here it is http://app.strava.com/activities/176746298

Check that the elevation correction is disabled on Garmin (it should be by default) what was on the unit.
I think I would still rather upload the raw file to strava, just in case garmin sends a corrected elevation file.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

This is what I did yesterday.

I am awaiting g my first ride after the Strava and GC Sync has started. Apparently it links to the fit file, so should retain an uncorrected elevation.

Odd looking bike

Odd looking bike

That took hours to masking the spokes on the front wheel.

Edit, the only thing from that set up on the bike, are the brakes and mudguards and frame.
Everything else is new.

Think how much fun i would have though....

@Mo1959

I have it here now happily charging away!

Re Strava - you never know! Although age has rendered the fiercely competitive Young Spokey Dokey into a pale shadow of his former self when it comes to one-upmanship!
