Not so sure after the way I felt this morning Nigel. Lol. Nearly came to a halt at one point!
Overall though, I don't think I maybe lost quite as much as I thought I would.

We all get like that even when cycling a lot, I know after two weeks off I work harder as it shows in the HR , though it doesn't always feel like it, at the moment I seem to be going backwards in terms of speed, but when I have looked at it its actually been quite harder per day than in recent months, all be it marginal.

Echo what @Nigelnaturist says well done guys

Back from an early ride with Mrs Brrrr and so foggy the bikes were all covered in condensation and so we're the leggings and helmets.
I am pleased that although it was not fast I feel like I have done nothing, and the Mrs has discovered that she needs some proper autumn./winter clothing bless her she was froze.

On a lighter note I have just ordered one of these. Glad I can start to have a bit of a laugh about it now!

When are we seeing her in here and on Strava?

15.02 miles / 1342' ascent / 11.9 mpg av'.

Low average speed as this was almost entirely on twisty, wet and leafy lanes. You get very little upside in terms of speed on the descents on these routes - at least that's how I console myself.

Lots of mud and cow crap on the roads too - had a rear wheel shimmy on one section that caught me by surprise.

RWGPS experts - my ride time was 01:15:37 in GC (which is right as I was riding about hour and a quarter) and I never stopped at all. However in RWGPS it gives me over 9 minutes stoppage time (and corresponding hike in av' speed to 13.6 mph which I like ) - but where did the 9 minutes come from?

For those about to ride - (apart from saluting you), do stay safe.

A cold bright ride today with friends. This is the first time I have managed to get out all week. I took it nice and steady because one friend was recovering from being unwell yesterday. I needed merino base layer, short sleeved jersey and fleece lined long sleeved jersey with 3/4 length shorts (I feel the cold more than most due to heart tablets I take).

A crisp cold and very foggy morning here, so time to bolt the T3 to the trainer for a 30 min blast. Went for a higher intensity but shorter ride this time (30 mins).

Loss of GPS signal maybe. Were you running front lights at the time? The PWM in modern LED lights can cause interference with wireless devices.

I think I get this happening to me too. My last ride showed that I reached over 45mph and I know I didn't go that fast! I might buy the new garmin speed and cadence monitor to solve this.

Well it was very foggy and misty this morning! Temp got down to 3.7c. Didn't think it would be that cold! Just did my boring Windsor loop as had to be home by 8ish. Not many others about this morning only saw 3 cyclists.

I got freeze burn on my knee last night, so just took it easy.

Thanks for the reply Moo - but I don't think that was it as i have the full record on Garmin Connect with the actual time pretty much as per my wrist watch.

It was only when I uploaded to RWGPS that the error appeared.

No front lights btw but thanks for the heads-up.

@SpokeyDokey link me to the files and I will look.
