Seven category 4 climbs and one category 3 climb today. Good ride. Better than woman coming the other way that lost her back wheel and came sliding down the road sideways and stopped half a meter from my front wheel anyhows.

Looks like everyone is in full swing!
Today I did my first serious ride of the year, 86 km in 3 hours, mostly flat though so nothing special. However it is the same time I was doing last year after a few months of training. Hopefully I can improve by about 15 minutes within the next 5 weeks.
A pity that the Endomondo app wouldn't work on my update BB OS, it was helpful for me to track my workouts.

I use Endomondo and Strava these days to track cycling. You can track cycling on Strava although I use a GPS and upload to both.

I know , the issue is that the only gadget that I have is a Blackberry Bold 9900 phone. Endomondo used to work on it before I updated the OS, and Strava doesn't have an app for BB.
I will probably buy a GPS as I want to start training seriously and would need a more precise device with more functionality, most probably a Polar device.

I'm using Strava and Endomondo on my phone, I find it amusing how they can come up with different distances when running at the same time, using the same GPS and apparently the same google maps.

I did the full ride into work today, 38km in 1hr 22m and might do the return journey today as well

A ride where you don't fall off is always a good one

Unless it's winter and there's 40cm of snow. If you don't go over the bars at least once, you haven't been riding fast enough.

Commuter bike is still waiting on the wall, just as the weather warmed up a bit, I got sick. I haven't been able to ride for a week now. And it seems I won't be able to ride until next week due to a work trip and farm work on Friday and car maintenance on weekend.

My road bike fell after I lent it up against the car yesterday and a gust of wind blew it over. I then dropped it today (and took a nice chunk out of my leg) when trying to fix my GPS on it. Not sure when I lost gears but I think I'm pretty sure I had all 30 yesterday. I went down to 9 gears having only three on each ring on todays ride before my other half made me choose which gear I wanted to ride home in and gave me orders not to change. He had a look at the rear derailleur when we got home but I think I might have broken the shifter. Looks like I'm on the mountain bike until its fixed. No more Queen of the Mountain titles either.

Picked my bike up today and went straight to Hamsterley and there is a massive difference to my old bike, very happy with my purchase. Just need to get fitter now so that I can ride for more than an hour at a time
