Well seeing she is not on here.......bet you wouldn't have the courage to have said that!

My oh keep threatening to sign up as well, but doesn't fancy having his wife moderating his posts to start off with. Then there is the problem of what to call himself... On CGOAB he is StraightOnSaysSatNav but is considering Mr SNSSO instead for here!

Other I like that... And now I am on the stronger pain killers I might be able to laugh long enough to feel better! (the liquid morphine had arrived)

You'll need a laxative with all that medication I would think? Both morphine and codeine seem bad for causing constipation! Hope it eases off soon.

I had to get Shaun to increase the permitted number of characters to get mine changed from what it was originally!

Think I need to have not so many cafe stops, total hrs not moving while out on the bike for this year 35hrs 8mins , or maybe it's the traffic lights staying on red too long

Not having Strava Premium I have been looking at the two other measure in place of Strava's suffer score
For the last 20 or so rides looked at Strava Plus's Toughness Score and Cycling Weekly's Ritmo score

The toughness score (higher the tougher) went up to 473 for the New Forest 100 Sportive, next was the group ride with two decent hill, the pace was quite high, so I am not surprised. This week's hilly ride was next at 182. It does seem to give a bigger score when a tough ride is longer

The Ritmo score is much less affected by distance and I think is more a measure of fitness, and the lower the better
My overall Ritmo score has gone down from 22ish to 16
The New Forest 100 Sportive was 14.1. but most recent rides between 18 and 22

I was trying to decide which to use as a guide but decided they are both good in their own way

I use Ritmo too just for a bit of added interest.

The Garmin was playing up this morning Took a while to pick up satellites then half way through the ride it briefly lost signal. Part of the ride uploaded to Garmin Connect says it was in 2017..........I'm not that fast that I can time travel. Lol. I have put in a request to Strava support with the file to see if they can correct it. No matter if they can't. It was a pleasant ride anyway.

My first ride on the new CAAD8 this morning. Tried a familiar after work route to compare to my hybrid. Having not ridden for three months and the traffic being a bit heavier than the evening, very happy to say the ride was quicker than usual! And clipless for the first time with no trouble. So much better and highly recommended to those that are considering! Happy, happy days! Not going to break any records on Strava segments just yet though...

My brother who has never experienced a decent hill was adamant to give Mott St a try. You could probably hear his breathing from half a mile away. Reminded me of my first ascent 6 months ago

Very quiet in here this weekend.

Damp and cold here in Essex today but just getting ready to pop over the boarder to Kent to go off road for the first time. I think because I know I'm going to get muddy and wet I'm not actually too bothered by the weather!

Will report back later.

Well despite the demands of decorating, accordion tuning and the crap weather I have managed 60 miles this week. Hopefully bit better weather next week
