I just assumed we could link to either Strava or Garmin to upload automatically.
Might have to rethink that then

I just have a favourite shortcut and literally enter the bike and distance. If you do it on the day, it defaults to the day. Your alternative is http://veloviewer.com/
But you won't get a listing against the other CC members on MCL (not associated with it), and will need to link it to strava and run an update periodically under your user for the stats to update.

You get something like this for the signature.

Cheers for the link, never heard of veloviewer, like the look of it.

takes a little setting up and linking to your strava account and you have to manually update it - it won't auto-update. A link to the relevant page is quite useful in that aspect. You can customise the signature line... mine does not have the graph etc and I like the fact that you have look at your data for each strava segment and see each and every time you have tried that segment, rather then either the latest or fastest attempt that strava gives you...

happens automatically. If you scroll back upwards you will see everyone's is the same now.

Depressing isn't it

Depressing isn't it

Think I'll stick with the veloviewer one. No particular targets this year anyway.

Happy New Year everybody. I didn't get out yesterday as it was my birthday and I was in demand - dragged out for lunch then later on for dinner - yum yum x

Hubby and I had thought about going out together today, but the weather forecast isn't too kind at the minute so may just veg out.

Although I'm now using Strava, I only joined it part way through the year so don't have all my data on there, but I got an email yesterday with the attached info. Pretty chuffed, especially as I've not got out much recently.

Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and fun 2014 and thanks for all your support over 2013 x

I got sent one showing the global stats, in total Strava users could have cycled/ran to Saturn in 2013!

So much for new year's day ride hasn't stopped raining all day, Went to shops earlier came back rain was running down the inside of my jeans leg that's how torrential it is ... Oh well always tomorrow, Big kudos to all that got out today..

 

[Mo1959]

@stevey I think you must have sent it up here. Rain is rattling off the windows and quite a wind now too. I was fortunate I decided to go out quite early as there is no way I would be going in that.......poor dog hasn't even had a walk, that's how bad it is. Afraid it will be the back garden again before bed time for her.

I like your positive attitude

I like your positive attitude

my poor washing machine does not know what hit it last night and today, all our cycling kit has needed several washes to get the mud off - including the waterproofs. Started the new year off with my OH getting the hoover out the living room was that bad (just don't tell him I saw him pick up an inner tube that had somehow gotten into the saucepan of chainsaw oil I use for cleaning the chains and he pick it up and walk it across the room leaving a trail of oil on the carpet!). He even managed to wash the bikes today - though in reality I think all he needed to do was take the rain cover off them and leave them out. That only leave the boot of the car to be washed to get the remaining mud out. Road bikes tomorrow - parent sitting (honest!) so have to cycle over no matter what the weather.

On the bright side - there were no more fairy visits overnight, so yesterday's score stands at 5-0!

Same here, absolutely hammering it down right now. Weather forecast looks okay for tomorrow - but back to work. Friday looks very windy and it is going to rain all weekend!
