Yep, we are lucky really. Mumbles, Gower not bad either!!

You ever been to Cwmtydu on the cost between Llangrannog and New Quay? That's where you wanna go climbing! Haha

My Brother has, walking, and said it would be a challenge on a bike.

Busy day ahead but snuck in a quickie first thing this morning.

8.87 miles @ 14.37 mph av'.

Legs are feeling really heavy though - not sure why.

New 34 inner got me up my big 'home' hill slightly easier - result!

Yesterdays squeak (traced to LH shoe cleat bolts) has gone - result 2!

Puncture repair stayed repaired - result 3!

Have a good day all.

Took in Cwmtydu and Llangrannog amongst other climbs in this mornings outing. Hard work again today! Didn't have a very good run between me and one of the others having problems but all good fun and more importantly I can feel gradual improvement.

Some chunky climbs there!

A new 40 mile route for me this morning.

Lots of unknowns and unexpected climbs that brought my recent average down slightly but a beautiful ride and felt I could have done another 20+ comfortably but had to get home before 1 pm.

I really feel comfortable on my new bike and regular riding is now paying dividends I feel.

I had a lovely ride to Rochester today with hubby. The sun shone and Rochester was beautiful. It is so nice to have a change of scenery. I have to say that Kent is a wee bit more hilly than Essex though.

Nice ride.

I lived in Gravesend for a lot of my earlier years and, as a young teenager, I used to swim in that canal you rode by - didn't worry about mucky water back then!

Hefty climbs there. Every segment is a Cat 4! Not many on there for a reason.

You need to set up more segments along the route.

Strava segments you mean? Don't know how to do my own. Maybe I'll have to have a better look at it.

Really easy. Just go to your ride and choose Create New Segment at the bottom. Then follow the screens.

Not getting enough riding time in of late, with the back and work taking their tolls. Managed a fifty today, but fell like some of the gains have been lost.

Not sure I'd want to swim in it today. It looked very green and murky yesterday.

Went for a midnight ride last night (my internet connection was squirrely and I was bored), it felt great, temperature was perfect with just a slight nice breeze. I would have stayed out longer but I hadn't charged the light battery in a while so I had to come on in after 16 miles.

Went out yesterday afternoon and got soaked in the first part of the ride and was nearly dry by the time I got in. It was my longest so far and well pleased when I made it home.also first time I've been rained on!

What kind of roads were you riding? The thought alone scares me!
