Sorry but that just sounded like a foreign language to me Nigel. I have absolutely no
Idea what you were talking about !

Thats ok then, because I don't half the time.

@Nigelnaturist I thought I was bad at looking at my stat's, but you have taken it to a whole new level, Respect (*Bows Down) I started logging rides on spreadsheets in '08, although now Just use strava/veloviewer and garmin. That reminds me why doesn't veloviewer have cadence logs?

I started on a spreadsheet, but it became to unwieldy, in fact my main table still as some legacy fields that I should get rid of, I should really re do most of it, as i was learning certain things as I went along, like how do running 7, 30, 90 ect days, as for strava, its not to accurate on the elevation thing.
I don't have a table for strava data, but from the Bryton R20 and corrected data on rwgps there can be a huge difference, yesterday if I had used the R20 elevation instead of the 705 I would have lost over 500ft or 40%, there was only a difference of 70ft between the 705 and rwgps corrected data.
RWGPSCEG=corrected on rwgps elevation gain, R20EG = R20 elevation gain, 705EG you guessed it, then it shows the difference between the two units, how difficult the ride was, and of cause ft/mile

To be honest, I can enter my data from both units in less than 5 mins, that is the bryton site for the R20, GTC for the 705 (so dont even need an internet connection), and weather from sporttracks, I did use garmin connect, but it stopped showing mine, and mine now has max-min temps on the ride, same for wind, I could do the same for wind direction, but currently only do a general direction, and rainfall, I might think about wind chill this winter, if I get to tidy the database up.

This is my main menu, a bit hap-hazard (bit like me), but it works



@SpokeyDokey I said I wouldn't be doing this.

I didn't believe you anyway!

As promised a quickish monthly summary form

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Well according to VV I am 1/2 mph faster on the 105 kit than the 9sp Sora set up I had. Though in part could be improvement in fitness.

New Bike ordered. Now just need this Sciatica to go away once and for all.

I still have a big issue with recorded feet climbed.
When I plan a route - I don't think it really matter where - Strava rwgps, gpsies etc, the feet climbed is always way more than it actually recorded on the ride

Your days rained is a minus number?

 

[Nigelnaturist]

I still have a big issue with recorded feet climbed.
When I plan a route - I don't think it really matter where - Strava rwgps, gpsies etc, the feet climbed is always way more than it actually recorded on the ride

This is why I just use the corrected version from rwgps, at least its pretty consistent from ride to ride as a comparison.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Your days rained is a minus number?

Its because its a true/false field and when these are counted it turns out negative for some reason, I know what it means, I will look into seeing how to convert it to positive.

To all, aww shucks guys didn't know you cared so much.
