Show us your.......newbie progress!

Whinge alert.

Ditto; not sure if it is proper bad or just man-bad. Drippy nose, all joints aching and gummy eyes. Blah, blah, blah...

Hope you get well soon and hope I do too...sniffle, sniffle.

To all you healthy non-drippers: have a great ride today and watch that wind!

Well, I could go out I suppose, but I'd ache, be slower than normal, cough a bit and not enjoy it. So there's no point.

I've decided there is no point in even trying. I feel rubbish so won't enjoy it. It's extremely windy so I won't enjoy it. And I can just stay at home and lap up TLC - which I will enjoy.

Decision made!

I don't know, about the only thing that stops me (apart from other commitments, not that there is many of them really) is when I can't sit on the saddle or get out of bed. and ice I won't be riding on any more ice.

Went out it a variant of one of my loops
Tried a biut more tham most times so a little disappointed that ave speed only 15.7 mpg over 32.94 miles with 1293 feet of climbing
I suppose the hills were a bit above average, at least I got a PB on Crimp Hill (by 15 seconds)

A very windy ride today. I really felt it on the way home.

@Stonechat thats pretty much what I have done over the last 3 weeks, about the same elevation distance speed on average about 15.3mph, thats 17 out the 21 days.
First of the three week 6 days 207.5 miles (31.57mile/day) elevation 8356 (1393 ft/day) avg speed 15.62mph, this last week oh b*****ks to this a chart is easier.

See I was slower the previous week with less elevation, only just though

Yes I concur it was Blardy windy out there this morning, sort of glad It had to be short as I was needed at home for parent duties.

tad windy out, but it blew away a few cobwebs and the snotty nose that my OH seems to be coming down with... I clearly have something as well because I am under the weather and have had to double my steroids but getting out was nice. Seems we had the best of the weather earlier on - balmily warm out there at the moment, had to take my sleeves off my jersey because it was soooo warm... strava saying the average was 17C going up to 19C at times (guess that might have been when the sun was out)... but the wind had us pegged back at a slower pace... tis just that time of year...

You ladies are definitely made of sterner stuff!

.............apart from me!

I'm not certain my OH will appreciate being called a lady (), but I think he may have retired to bed, so you might get away with it

But I suspect you may have been referring to @Effyb4 as well

 

[Luked1980]

42 miles complete. 21 miles further than my best so far. 3hrs 30mins with 2272ft. Happy with that!!

Not posted for a while, mainly due to lack of riding and the dreaded man flu which seems to be doing the rounds.

Got out this morning for a ride with a friend to the cafe and back, very relaxed pace as we tend to chat more than turn the pedals and it was a tad windy of the way back, still nice to be out in the middle of October wearing shorts and a t-shirt!

Edit - also gave the bike a well overdue strip down and clean and enjoyed that nearly as much as the ride!
