[Supersuperleeds]

A bit like Spokey, got up at 6am with the intention of tackling the hill I failed miserably on back in November when I first started.

Was cold and a bit breezy but I got up the bugger, completely knackered at the top. Just looked on Strava and I am 43rd out of 117. Managed to do 51 miles in total

With mycyclinglog.com do you have to manually type each route or is there a way to upload a gpx file or something?

I think you just key it in, at least that is what I do

 

[Supersuperleeds]

You boys are making me feel inadequate!

There's me thinking that with a few miles tomorrow I'll crack the 100 mile a MONTH barrier.

I've a way to go I think!

A mile in Cumbria is like 10 in the flat lands of Leicester

Time to try out clipless again after a twenty two year gap
going to cheat a bit and fit them to my hybrid first.
Hopefully live to tell the tale.

Thanks to @Andrew_Culture for the pedals.

Happy boy. After encountering the hill from hell, good ride after. Don't think I'll manage 300 odd k in the next couple of days though. https://www.strava.com/activities/51136630

Well just weighed my camera kit, and it is more than half the weight of the bike at 7kg's. Perhaps you see why I don't carry it much, at least until now, just was never fit enough.

Thats a shame.

Yeah! Just like riding a bike, you don't forget. The only difference this time is the float, I think my last ones had none at all, these have 6 deg and feel a bit to loose. Just fitted them to the T3 so she's ready for a ride out.

I just have have mine on loose anyway.

I'm still sticking with flats

You do all those miles on flats. The reason I changed was I was feed up slipping even in clips.
