Come across this from 2012 it from about the time I got a computer with cad (non gps) though that is a little later in the table.

I actually started about week 25-26 in 2012

Don't know what happened wk 40-52

Edit here

I only get to ride in the rain these days

Same here, or not at all, but if today is anything to go by it's not all that bad?

Or is it a novelty?

Riding in non windy sunny weather, its a novelty

so take it you had a ride this morning? not been onto strava yet - have pc issues. connect the thing to the internet and it runs sooooo slowly! in any applications (opera IE, iTunes etc) can't seem to be work out why. Had thought it was the wireless connection but my oh brought up the POE device this am and I am now on Ethernet rather than wireless and it is still the same issues.... yet BB speeds is acceptance and phone connects rather well and dodes not show the same symptoms! and laptop is fine when not connected to the internet!

My OH christening his new bike in that this morning! seems to have enjoyed himself but it I s hard to tell because I know he does not like solo riding and missed me! Needs to adjust the seat position but otherwise I seem to have guessed a the correct size bike and stem for him!

No I wasn't out, up till the wee hours with this thing, though it seems faster overall on most applications than it has been of late, this is the only clue I have to what is wrong and it refers on the whole to a MAxtor drive I think an external one, and I don't have any maxtor drives connected on this comp.

Though there is one on the comp in the bedroom, though I can't personal see why checking this comp and trying to right to the G: drive on here would be effected by that, only thing would be a file lock and thats only usually on the file in question, well I will turn it off and see, can't see it doing any good, it would be the weirdest thing if it did.

The only other thing I have come across might be a hard drive failure, as I have done everything to correct the file structure bar format the drive.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I have uninsulated the latest version of avg which has improved things no end... Trying the new version of spigot with antivirus which seems to be better. Timecwill tell!

Just ned to get my new toy sorted.... And set up the way I want it.... Havectreated myself to a tablet because the laptop was too difficult robust lying on my back...band the smartphone too small to easily use. At least on the smartphone andctablet I can use a free version of sophos which I much prefer!

Hope you get to the bottom of it

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Well I am backing up my images, which is a little difficult as I can't delete the folders I have copied, so might end end up with multiple X multiple copies, once sorted I will just have to import everything into one LR catalogue and see what duplicates show, nothing else on the drives thats really important.

I have been cycling a year now, well as of tomorrow!

My first ride was 3.3 miles and took 20 minutes (<10mph). I was 18.5 stone.

Today's ride was 45 miles and took 153 minutes (17.5mph). I am 13 stone 8lbs. This is a record average for me over over that distance.

In total I have ridden 4755 miles in that year; my longest just short of 70. And despite the initial goal of weight loss well on its way, I am still very motivated to carry on getting out there, even in the cold patch we had earlier in the week!

My longest ride for a while with abit of climbing, knee is feeling sore now. Copied Stonechats ride from a week a go. All good apart from bonking a couple of times, getting lost, Garmin freezing & punctured. Was late home so got it in the neck from the mrs. Interesting to see I beat my PB up boxhill, think its the first time ive been up there with my Zondas! Lots of friendly cyclists about early doors too! Think this will be my new favourite ride (without the getting lost!)

Well my plan to ride to pick the car up didn't quite work out as the the other half decided she was going to drive last night as she didn't fancy a drink so I went for a gentle ride with a friend, due to lack of action on the bike recently I said I only wanted to do about 25 miles with and as flat as possible SO we headed to Ide Hill just past Sevenoaks, we also went there the hilly way!

41 miles and 2159ft of climbing later I feel quite refreshed - 52ft per mile, most of my rides are around the 35ft per mile and thats if I go looking for 'hills' in Essex so a fair bit slower than normal, also didn't really push it due to the standing water/leaves on the road (and my fitness)!

Isn't there one of the windows event logs you can look at for disk read failures?

Ah see you did it the other way round, just as well as Ranmore Common was quite a tiring climb

Its not so much when it started but fixing it thats the problem Bob, everything I have tried just doesn't want to play, even some pretty low level stuff, so my only real recourse is back up my pics and any downloads I have on the drive though they are not to important, and try a format, after which I suspect the drive will be useless.
