@Mo1959 thanks Mo all are achievable quite easily, just need to get out and do, I ordered a Bryton Rider 20 for £45 last night, at least it will keep my data up to date and is Ant+ so my sensors should work with it. I will just have to use some average figures till Wed/Thur.

Well, after the last couple of days reasonable efforts I can't be bothered today so I'm quite glad I don't have any targets Just going for a walk instead this morning.

Edited to correct the hash I made of this!

My legs feel as though they need some recovery too

Yep, quite enjoyed the walk.....and took the camera and grabbed a few pics too as my photography is sadly neglected these days.

You'll never catch me chasing targets

No one will ever catch you

Did a quickish 26miles @ 16.33mph dont be fooled by the increase in speed it was pretty flat @ 31.78ft/mile but time and distance are more important at the moment. Avg cad 85 max 100

You wont be disappointed

A couple of addition that are worth a thought.
Wide Angle Lens £4.25+0.75p p.p.
Swivel mount £8.99 free p.p.

Both are worth while in my opinion.

Thanks!!

Argh, wishing I had gone out yesterday now as it was nice and calm. Looking damp, grey and windy this morning. Wonder if I should just take the old mountain bike and do a few loops of my doggy walk. So can't be bothered just now.

Just do it @Mo1959

Well, I tried honest! Thought I had fixed my chain but it tried to come apart again. Noticed a ticking noise at regular intervals then it starts jumping. Got home and one of the side plates had totally swivelled around, no wonder it was jumping

There are so many rattles and squeaks coming from the bike and I don't like the old twist shifters and don't really want to lay out loads of money on an old frame. I think if I can scrape enough money together for a deposit I may be tempted to get a new one on interest free. There is a family friend interested in my digital slr which I have hardly touched so that would make a decent deposit. I am so tempted.

Go for it Mo. A credit card with an interest free period is a cheap way of financing a new bike.

I would rather sell my bike than my camera. So I understand the dilemma.
