Sorry for the confusion guys, I was referring to the numbers in his avitar, "4 8 15 16 23 42" are from the tv series "Lost" Hurley was a character in the program

I knew what you meant. Lol.

Nice that you picked up what the numbers related to. I'm impressed.

Went out last night for the third time on the new road bike and was a little disappointed.

It felt like I was going really well and was expecting an improved average speed but when I got home I was slower than my previous rides. :angry:

It takes time and every ride is different, just keep at it, even the merest of a breeze can change things, if your weather has been anything like ours its been pretty calm the last two weeks or so, so if you have been riding in those sorts of conditions and then get a bit of a breeze it will effect you ride.

On another note, ordered two BB from Wiggle on Sun here this morning, even next day costs wouldn't have been any quicker. :smile: because as yo may be aware I will be changing the front chainset and these were to good an offer to miss, just need to save for the chainset now.

Well you got a few PRs
Yes you need to look at the overall trend, still a good speed and sure your speed will increase.

Had a week and a bit off to see if it would ease my hamstring pain when on the bike, done 15 miles yesterday and it felt a bit tight for the first 5 miles but eased off and was not sore afterwards, so got 20 miles in today and it felt ok. Think I probably hurt it at work tbh rather than on the bike. But good to be back out pretty nice weather today was rather pleasant and not a single close pass even on the 60mph b road I normally hate going on :biggrin: Back to work tomorrow so probably an hour or two on the trainer until my next days off....

Also great to see @Mo1959 back out on the bike :smile:
