There was a 'tweet' (not on twitter myself) about synching not working, but, recently, this has been resolved 'apparently'. I did have to upload my own this evening though

I've not been out at all for a whole week, but decided to do an evening session this evening

The auto upload worked for me this afternoon, you just have to leave it about 15 minutes. It worked.

Great average speed on the ride there.

But by my maths 28.5 less Kgs than you had to haul up before!

Well done.

Well Steve 3.25Kg is 1/2 a stone, which is quite a bit, when your losing it.

It was reference to my previous mistake with maths which lead to much lamponing

In all fairness, well done guys who are losing weight.

Well I have just ordered an HG50 12-25 8sp cassette, (12-13-15-17-19-21-23-25) this will give the option of 11,12,13 locking cog, and fix the gap I have between 18-21, I think I will try 13-15-17-19-21-23-25, i am hoping to try a Cat3 later (well strava says it's one) and try not using the 28th I currently have, so that would mean using the 24 with my 30 as my lowest gear.

Looks much better, also if you have the cogs maybe drop the 23 and 25 and use a 14 and 24, just an option.

20 stone - 15.5 stone = 4.5 stone...

Ahem!

20 stone - 15.5 stone = 4.5 stone...

Ahem!

Sorry I missed the 1/2 stone was half a sleep.

Yea I know, just me.

I was along 0.3 mile section with an avg grade of 7.1% (it fluctuates alot on strava) it peaks I think something like 12-13%.

That is some nice work.

That sounds tough, I find a few grades around 10 percent or so around here but none of them are long enough to get a cat rating. I am not sure I could do a climb like you did there. I might could do it but it would take me a while to recover. It is such a pain to be on beta blockers and not have full adrenaline, it is like, I know I have more than this... but you just can't make it happen, sort of strange.

I think I am going to have to work longer on them at a slower pace and just not be able to press as hard as I normally would like to on the hills. I have some more weight I want to lose as well, then I will start even more with the hills.

Thanks, the frustrating thing was that I'd averaged much higher figures earlier in the ride.

Never mind, I finally got out again and enjoyed it. I normally cycle early morning or daytime when work allows, but quite enjoyed an evening pootle

I went up and down a conveniently located hill 4 times last night, trying to improve my climbing, as I think it's my weakest riding. Also want to be able to stay out of the saddle for longer without lactic acid ruining my legs. Shorter than a normal ride, but ouch.

Evening pootles are some of my favourite rides.

My usual weekly turbo, really need to start wearing the heart monitor, as you can't see the pain lol

All this talk about weight loss, I am now down to 14st 6lb, only lost 2lb in the last four weeks, but I have been eating for England recently so pleased to see it still coming down.
