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

We all do different things with our data
I personally enjoy having to data to look at - and as I said it is a contrast from years ago when I just used to ride and never looked afterwards to see how far I'd gone

Now we are almost overwhelmed with diffferent websites and tools and it is suprising and interesting how @Nigelnaturist gets wind information.
It is interesting

 

[Stonechat]

Not been out for 2 weeks, 5 shifts at Amazon are way too much for my legs to even think about going on the bike, missing the bike a lot but my motivation and energy is zero at the moment. The weather would stop me getting out much anyway so that's some comfort

I remember the Panorama programme

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

Ditto. Tomorrow morning might be reasonable but after that it looks like ten days of constant wind with showers/rain. I can do rain within reason but detest the wind.

I hate the wind and also the sneaky ice on a frosty day.

Had a fab night watching Sarah Millican in Nottingham and laughed so hard my ribs were aching. Was obviously a fab workout as I slept like a log.

I've woken to a rather nice morning (mid afternoon to you early risers) so tempted to have another ride today.

If I write a few more cards I could deliver those on the way round.

Have a great Sunday everybody. 10 days til Christmas.

First ride in 14 days... obviously felt it in the legs overall pretty pleased though.

Bike got covered in mud so just finished cleaning/lube.
Back in time i think heavens have just opened....

Almost same route as yesterday, same Blardy wind with added rain for fun!

Don't think I'll get out till after Christmas now as will be very busy at work and the boys will need calming down next weekend.

Had a good run 32.4 miles at 14.1 mph and 510 feet of elevation ( as always I think Strava is mean)

Quite enjoyable, wather turning rather miserable
Could have done more but was diplomatic with Mrs Stonechat to be home about 11.30

p.s. was quite windy in places
Quiite hilly but the new Strava page makes it look like a couple of pimples instead of hills

 

[BrianEvesham]

@Stonechat I don't like the new Strava page, but you can select the old style.

 

[Mo1959]

@Stonechat I don't like the new Strava page, but you can select the old style.

I don't think I like it either Brian, but I wonder how long they will allow us to use the old style. No doubt it will just get changed over at some point. I suppose we will eventually get used to it.

Been a while since last outing , was in process of packing in the smokes - A Hilly-ish 100ker to celebrate Day 13

[Naemeth]

Bike was behaving like it was ill yesterday on the commute home, I think it needs a good service. I'll probably walk the commute for the next few days before it's fixed.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Been up North to see family today so no ride, nice to see so many others get out though.

Funny that i did 32.5 miles in two bits, had to go home for my bank card, so ended up doing the first 20 odd miles with my rear bag for no reason.
On the strava thing i like some aspects of it, though i think they have made it overly complex to get the info they are trying to show. The calories calculator is pants on todays ride 28 cals/mile I wish I was that fit.
6 P.B.'s to add to yesterdays 3 I think it was, strange how I dont seem that bothered anymore.

Keep the faith Nigel.

Keep the faith Nigel.

I meant about p.b's , I seem to be more concerned about cycling well, which since the break in Nov I seem to be doing, its not faster on the whole, just more fluid, easier spinning, if that makes any sense, thats why I was surprised when I got back yesterday and saw the wind speeds, I would have never thought them that high (26mph).

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Here's a scary stat my heart has beaten 4.6 million times since I have been cycling this year, I haven't full data as some days I went out without the H.R.M. thats going off the avg H.R. x time ridden
