Just weighed my bag and kit 3.2Kg plus weight of the rack and mud guards might total 10lbs. So I am going to strip it and have a crack at those times KOM's I lost.

If you put a couple of full water bottles on as well your weight will be about the same as mine

That was with a water bottle 3/4's full (750ml), and your still faster

Not sure about that you will have to enter a new strava segment for that bit of route we both rode today and prove it for once and for all

Well inspired by this thread I'm going to go out for my first ride since last August.

Will have to be on my MTB as waiting for my Triban 3 to arrive. If I'm in any state to be able to still type, I'll let you all know how it goes

Well done. I couldn't force myself to go out. It was well under freezing this morning. Still only about 2 above in the sun. Just doggy walking today I'm afraid.

Think tomorrow might be a touch milder so will try harder!

Just thought I'd sign up for mycyclinglog and join the CycleChat group as a motivational tool but it's asking for a password to join the group.

Can anyone help or do I have to request membership?

First day for a few where I have got up and we haven't had a frost, is sunny but cold today, just makes me bike faster to warm up!

No. I made sure I had a big slice of carrot cake at my coffee stop as a special treat.

Just been for a nice walk with my mutts to get the legs moving. Now off to get changed and see how it goes. Not going to set any real target, just stay out for as long as I can still breath/move my legs/put up with the pain in my a*se (delete as applicable)
