Some people take it too seriously.

I see the problem there Matthew.... A saddle bag... Hope you ditched the cameras and the air horn.

I am heading out tonight when it is very quiet and there is no need for them. The wind would have died down by then though so I probably wont get brilliant times.
The stuff I have on my bike doesnt really make a difference to how I perform. It doesnt feel any different.

Surely if you go out when it is windy that is cheating ?

"stuff" on your bike affects aerodynamics, why do you think Cavendish does not have a basket on the front of his

Try taking if off and see how it feels. what do you put in the saddle bag anyway?

Two spare tubes, repair kit, multitool, batteries for lights, tire levers. TBH, its stuff that I could put in my jersey pockets but it just feels nice to not have anything on my back.

All you should need is spare tubes, levers, multitool and a pump. Easy to fit in your pockets. Much more aero :P

I have ditched the Airzound for the meantime. My rear camera now has a view through my triangle and shows my other leg now.

I thought only females had a triangle

The locals are revolting!

I appear to have disappeared off a bunch of segments and Strava now thinks I've never ridden them, even although I've ridded then a few hundred times.

It's all a bit silly really isn't it.

Clocked up a sub-20 round Richmond Park yesterday! Lovely conditions. Now 1344th in the lap leaderboard! No excuses but I did experience a bit of traffic that broke momentum on a couple of occasions. Sub-19 firmly in sights!

Road bike back from a full service with new chain and headset. Felt amazing. Haven't done a huge amount of cycling other than the commute recently, very nice to come straight back in with a RP PB :-D
