Pretty hung over, went out with a friend to not waste the day. One 4th, a few PRs, and he kindly paced me up a hill to take 12s off my best time.

Just a way of saying well done.

Had a strong headwind today on the way out. Had a cyclist on a hybrid sticking to my tail so I was pushing myself into a 25mph headwind doing 15mph. He just wouldnt slow. He then tried a cheeky overtake on a steep hill but he didnt have the gears to pull it off. I then slowed down and let him passed when we parted ways. He didnt take the lead once on the 10 mile route that we were together for.

On a brighter note, I get a better time on my KOM and got a 10th on a segment just approaching home.

Thought today was the day for my first KOM. I had the third spot with a 1:57, KOM was @ 1:53. So off I went, went for it, nothing left to give, and posted a 1:53. Happy with that, loaded it up when I got home to see 2 riders had posted 1:50's ! ! ! Grrrrrrrrrr.........

Just wondering, when people are out completing the segs, do you watch your time or your speed. I can only work by speed because it would be too hard to concentrate on the time on my Garmin. And I can easily speed up if I think I am going too slow.

anyone have some clip on aero bars i can borrow so i can attack some flat sections not used by the TTers? and a few that are so i can increase my positions!! lol

i hate headwinds!! cycling home yesterday trying big ring only and keeping my cadence up didnt get me even a 3rd best time on some of the segments!!

You should be watching the road ahead!

This. I don't watch anything else. You can look later once uploaded. Thats the point of a Garmin.

i ocassionally glance at my speed on the computer but dont sit watching it! the sections i attack are the ones that take me quite a while to do and generally have ups and downs(with the exception of my KOM one) so would be pointless watching the speed
