I aim to please.One of the most geeky ride summaries I have seen for some time.
In hindsight I'm a little disappointed with my top speed, c'est la vie.
I've never worked so hard going down hill, from Arundel.
You definitely got lucky with your commute, the wind certainly picked up through the day.

God, did it? This morning felt like Hell on Earth.
Someone coming the other way along Hove Lawns actually groaned in despair when I passed them this evening. I felt for her.
This must be the windiest year ever. It reminds me of an episode of Star Trek from the sixties or seventies, whenever it was, when they landed on a windy planet where no one could go outside.
Oh yes, I'd forgotten wasn't spring and early summer seriously blustery too?
It does add a new level to route planning.
For our 20'er, this afternoon, I think we were only properly put out by the wind for 3 miles.

My ride today using iPhone Strava app = 1500ft elevation. One of the guys using Garmin 500 = 2500ft elevation. Same ride, is there really that much difference in accuracy??
I couldn't wait till the end of the year so have had a sneaky peek.
If I did all this years Strava miles in one ride, today I would have ridden through Beijing.

No. Into the 4th week now. Can't see myself failing to get out at the weekend though. Might have to contain it to a leisurely 20 miler though.
Can't recall who was choking to learn of my gearing. You may now rest easy, its a 12/25.

He's a mentalist no question.
EPO as a junior is shocking. Whoever helped him should be hung out to dry.
5, yes 5 weekends without a ride. Was under orders to get back quick and forecast was not good, so I sneaked out for a little mooch about only. Forgot how to use the Edge but no clipped in episodes.
Is now better than half price @ £29.99.

I have one Stat, one of my fave pieces of kit and can recommend as good quality, nice and warm and clingy. Just need to add "seagull" badge !
That'll be 2 of us then, I ordered one today, even though i must stop buying new kit.
It arrived today, and a tidy bit of kit it is too.
Just a shame it's not even remotely cold enough to wear!

strong and stable with me, or...
Now that is nice! How did the sizing come up? Can see me wearing this for my winter midweek game cycle commute.
It seems pretty 'normal', I got the xl, and that fits fine.
