This morning, as a result of my off, I am limp wristed.
In other news; when it's raining your black leather track mitts will cause your hands to turn purple.

Bit of cheating going on in this Endomondo challenge me thinks:

(not that I'm bitter as I was leading)

I'm hoping to get another couple of decent rides in tonight and tomorrow so that I can at least hit 200. Nothing spectacular, but I'll be happy enough given I don't commute and I've had two weeks off in the middle of the month!
Yeah its free and you can upload your files. It does essentially the same as Strava but it doesn't have segments. I don't really like it, it's a bit messy. But some of the data it gives is better.

Nah, you're still winning, you can disregard the top two as turbo trainer is just cheating
Yeah it's free. It's very like Strava but it seems more social and casual than strava is. I prefer Strava (especially because Strava does segments) but being able to set custom challenges makes endomondo worth using also. I use both. And yes, you can upload GPX files.

Rides are hidden but I expect all downhill! I got fastest time last year which was done partially in a group ride so a bit of a cheat.
Currently though that's my fastest time on an almost flat stretch of road.
Yep High Wycombe mate, that would have been a good laugh. We actually bumped into a massive ride, a reliability ride or something from Team Quest who are a shop in Harrow? anyway must have been a good 100 people out, me and my mate took it as a challenge, waited for them all to pass then worked our way up to the front group, was good fun then as we had never ridden with a group with more than 3 in it before
We are very much interested in joining a cycling club now

Well at least you were properly riding.
Turbo trainer rides shouldn't count imo

Nope! I agree!
Also, there should be a challenge for "Most ft/m climbed", but there isn't the ability to create one of that type on Endomondo.

I dunno, it's hard to judge distance from turbo rides but time-wise an hour on the turbo in the evening is worth a lot more than an hour on the road.
jeez the ticking noise from the back is killing me!it kinda sounds like spring.. any ideas what it could be? its clearly coming from the rear hub area.. bar the skewer what else uses a spring on the back?
Is it a constant noise or only when you freewheel?
Payday today so treated myself to some new bearings for my wheels and some new cleats, woo.
But for the hour on the turbo trainer I can have the resistance set to -6 and get an average speed of something ridiculous. At least on the road if you go down a hill you will need to climb up that distance again at some point. Its not perfect, but it does seem fairer.

Got my wiggle order today, arrived on the 6th working day, including through the snow and to Australia! Took three weeks for my Evans order to arrive, think that is the quickest delivery I have had yet from RM.
Pity I am in Sydney till Thursday eve, but got a short ride in this morning in the rain before heading down here.

I agree, so if people are pushed for time and are using turbos then they'd get more out of focusing on the quality of their training and put the mileage challenges to one side.
both! and its not constant! it comes and goes randomly, i've looked around nothing is touching and it clearly is coming from the hub/cassette but i can't think of anything that could be doing it

How is your gear indexing, does everything work smoothly?
