I went for a very lame slip and slide around on a public footpath at lunchtime and was very surprised to get a fifth position on a segment, until I went and looked at the rankings http://app.strava.com/segments/1372525

NOT HAPPY! I thought that I was going to set quite a few PR's today but only managed two.

The good thing is that I am now 3rd on this: http://app.strava.com/activities/38619548#628351033 and 4th on this: http://app.strava.com/activities/38619548#628351036
Its going to be my target over the weekend to get PR's on these:
http://app.strava.com/activities/38619548#628351034 (A car slowed me down today)
http://app.strava.com/activities/38619548#628351035 (I was in the right lane and had to slow to move into the left).

I've been confined to my turbo for two weeks!!! B*starding snow!! Forgot what a good KOM feels like............:cry:

Been horrendous hasn't it :sad: Several inches through here in Crieff too. Supposed to turn to rain by tomorrow. No doubt it will forget to stop! Made me so miserable I had to buy another bike today to cheer myself up. lol

Quite enjoy living here. Semi rural but enough facilities.

Fancied a decent winter/bad weather bike so went for a Forme Longcliffe 3.0 female version. Think it will take full mudguards.

I have a CX bike that i use in winter for off and on road. REALLY need mudguards as i end up a total mess after any wet or muddy off road rides.
Have you lived in Crieff long? Quite a quiet place but then that is a good thing imo. Good cycling in that area. Pick a direction and just go.........

Must be about 26 years now. Born and brought up in the village of Dunning.....and, yes I like quiet.

It was a close decision between a cyclocross bike or a road bike with mudguard clearance. Didn't really mean to buy another new bike and had been looking at a couple of Raleigh Airlites on eBay but they were mostly larger sizes and I think I would have been too stretched. Just happened to read a good review on the Forme so went for one.

Moved up to 7th place on a segment yesterday, a fast straight section of the Avon Ring Road.
Then continued up the A38 getting a few PR's.

However turned onto a side street hit a patch of black ice & cracked helmet & ribs, also today coming out in various bruises !
