You've been watching Wiggins too much. and it was dry!

I like the bloke but there one friend of mine who I can drop quite easilly and he has 100+ KOM's, visa versa I've a few rides which are faster than folk who can easily drop me, if folk want to think STRAVA offers an accurate comparrison

Was i not out on a recovery ride?

A couple of Southerners kicked my @ss recently on our second ascent of the Alpe D Huez; after 116miles, I cramped up severely and had to walk for a km to ease it off before jumping back on the bike

Yeh but they had just got a taxi to the bottom whereas you had done 116 miles of interval training!

I haven't been on here much. Still banging out the odd KOM though. Went on a 163 mile ride 9 days ago and managed a KOM after 100 miles and about 7000ft of climbing. Must have been the numb legs or the thought of a cold beer upon returning home.

I bagged a KOM a few weeks back on a the return from 160 odd mile ride too but its only be 1500ft of climbing or less I think I was more happy with the second on the Ramsey 40 foot even later in the ride (completely flat but 5 miles long; as the name susggests foot rise in 5 miles!)

It was a good warm up for the Marmotte

2:24 up Swain's Lane this evening. Up to 356th place (out of 1800), and 10s off my target.

This is my first PR up here for about a month, for which I blame the hot weather. Also hit 180bpm on the HRM - I was beginning to think my old heart wouldn't go that high

Just increased a kom by 3 seconds and 2 2nd fastest times on the climbs after. Endo said 18.5 mph strava knocked 1 mph off it! Not impressed

 

[HLaB]

Picked up a KOM last night but tbh thinking myself 3-4mph ahead of the others near the top of the list is nonsense (most of them can kick my butt) I must have got lucky with the rbts.

I got myself in the top 10 on 2 official 10 mile time trial course segments, 3rd on a DC course near Crewe (even though I put in a poor ride with 21:38) and 9th on my local 10 course segment (with 22:18). That won't last though, there is an open TT on that course tomorrow. I am in it too, but I am expecting some fast times to go in, the forecast says the wind will be in the right direction, fingers crossed for the team prize!

Oooft...........what I would give to put in a poor ride of 21.38

I should have done a short 21 (<21:30) on that course in those conditions. Oh well, hopefully I will get a ride on the mighty V718 next month, if I get a good day, I should get a short 20 (<20:30) on there.

Lol, when looking at my ride last night I noticed that someone has created a new segment, it runs straight through traffic lights which always (even off peak because of bad parking) cause congestion, I think the KOM must have indulged in a bit of RLJ and other dodgy manouvres. There's folk on that list which are about a similar level to me and they are less than half my speed and whoever made it cant spell/ type
