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. :(Quote:

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
We certainly are!Quote:

A ride where you don't fall off is always a good one :D
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. :D
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 :(
