Show us your.......newbie progress! [4 Sep 2012 - 4 Oct 2014]

[Nomadski]

First time out in a couple of weeks due to chest infection.

Wasn't sure how I would get on as but managed 31.5miles in just a smidgen under 2hrs30

58mph top speed?

Next time you do that hill, take a gopro, wanna see!!!!!

 

[RWright]

I just did some fancy mathematical calculations and it seems that with about 30 miles a day for the remainder of the month I can get 1000 miles for the month. Time to check the 10 day weather forecast.

I don't see why finishing up the house painting can't wait until May.

didn't even realise clyclemeter did this! I do also have strava, but in all honesty i really dont use it much, as cyclemeter was my first app and i love it, just need to buy a decent cadence/heart rate monitor thingy to use along side it.

I dont know if this is good progress but.. I started cycling 2weeks ago and could barely manage 6mile without feeling the pain and we didnt get past 8mph ish..but yesterday we did 25mile at around 12mph average without stopping (well1 minut to tighten up my new peddles only)...fairly hilly route of both onroad and old railway tracks...I admit I strggled the last few mile but I didnt feel 100% from the beggining so I knew I was having an off day... I recovered within an hour of being hme where as 2 weeks ago I spent at least 2 days suffering!

I feel good about that... dunno if its good progress but its progress regardless

I think that is pretty impressive well done.

I did my first 1,000 mile month last month, but I had an extra day

Doing 30 miles a day for 30 days is hard work

You've got to get on Strava and join in with the challenges

Thats wonderful progress.
I think I did something similar when I started.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

and for me

They are now, they weren't earlier.
Ciar, like Chris says, it's all good fun.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Right I am off to see if I can do 16 miles, let you nice folk add it up as the ticker is up to date.

 

[AndyPeace]

Sorry, don't know what else to do, as it is showing up at the correct rotation for me. Anyone else seeing it out 90 deg out.

Looks right to me too on firefox. Nice to see more pics

Thought I was doing badly today. Had a backpack with a weeks worth of clothes and a pair of shoes, but still came up Crookbarrow way at a hearty 14mph, then set a pb on a small straight near my work. The ride home was less sucsessful but I was feeling grumpy and that always slows me down for some reason.

 

[Ciar]

I will start to put my routes into stava maybe i can run both apps at the same time?
