This happened me the other day after I broke the bracket.I was very tempted to stop my cycle computer part way round my circuit today when my average speed was over 14mph. I had to stop to pick up my bike pump when it pinged off, I hit a hill and I had to stop for traffic.
It's always so much harder to get the average speed UP than it is for the computer to get it down isn't it? So unfair!! When I eventually got home my average was down to 13.7mph.
Sulking aside, I was pleased with my first lap, less so with my second. I need to get used to refuelling on the go. I couldn't get my flapjack out of my pocket while wearing my gloves and they are such a pain to put back on after removal so I gave up.
Nice to see the sunshine today though
I do think I may have a problem staying within them when I hit more hills at a faster pace. I may put the compact cranks and 11/28 cassette from my other bike onto my new bike, I think I will be using the new bike more for the longer rides with more hills. I think it will also encourage me to keep riding my old bike more often on my normal flatter daily fitness rides. I think the Red Rocket still might be just a tad faster than the new Blue Meteor. 
I got out a little earlier today, they are calling for rain this evening. If it doesn't rain I may go out for a few more miles later on. First ride with the heart rate monitor. I was relieved that with my normal ride and pace I am staying within the parameters my Dr. recommended, well almost anyway.
Aside from the new heart rate thing to play around with it was just a pleasant windy ride, I did spot what looked like another heart rate monitor or wrist watch laying on the side of the road. I will give it a few days in case whoever lost it comes back for it. If not, then it is mine.
sometimes it takes the buzzards a little too long to do their job, same with the inmate roadside trash cleaning crews.
Talking of buzzards, my next door neighbour got swooped on last summer when he was cycling. It actually scratched his neck and he needed a tetanus shot. Must have had a nest close by I think.I see my share of that too. I hate it when road kill gets into one of my preferred lines,
Yes. Sounds fine. I am not sure what size memory they have before they are full. I usually just clear the history every couple of weeks or so.
I will be seeing them too, as well as possibly large mammals, snakes, all sorts of critters. I carry pepper spray but am seriously considering carrying a pistol. Not to start a handgun debate or anything but I have already taken the required course and have a concealed carry permit. Rabid foxes and such are my main concern, well that and Pit Bulls.
Wow. Sounds scary. Not really much to worry about round here.Wow, I know they can get bold and not flee as quickly from cars passing sometimes but I have never heard of them swooping like that. I will keep it in mind. The more rural routes I am hoping to start doing will have more of them I think. I hope wild turkeys don't attack.
You can always edit the post Mo.
I do it every month, and then back that up to another drive, or an external device, rewritable CD then they can be filed under years.
