@Roady - do a turbo session at high intensity and then head out for an easy ride. Best of both worlds
Gah, it's so nice-looking outside :/
It looked nice but I knew rain was forecast this afternoon so I went to do
Brasstown... The rain came earlier than expected so I had to cut my ride short, one of the drawbacks with turboing outside
I was all over the place and finding it tricky to maintain power or cadence, if I concentrated on one the other would drop? I'm putting it down to not using the turbo for a couple of weeks... Also distracted by watching rugby on my tablet...
After I'd packed everything away from the rain... It stopped. Quick change of clothes and went for the full clean and service on my bike (overdue), sure enough again the rain decided to make an appearance so I had to finish off cleaning (rinsing, lubing & checking tyres) in the rain so had to put the bike away wet!
As it was time for the rugby (England vs Ireland) and the forecast was for rain, I'd planned to stay inside all afternoon. Sure enough the sun came out and the weather was glorious again! I couldn't get a break today!
Sure enough once the rugby was over (+ dog was walked) the rain began again so my half-thoughts of going back on the turbo again were scuppered.
Felt brilliant all the way round and dropped the others on pretty much every climb, which considering my huge Chinese last night was good. Good 48 miles at 17mph including the easing off for the guys to catch back on for the first 30 one so.
Good ride and good form, you're sounding strong! (remind me to never ride with you lol)
Thanks guys, I will see how I get on and see if I kill the rs21s. Luckily they are quite cheap so it's no biggy if I'm too heavy for them
The only problem I see is that if one of the 20goes then your wheel will really be buckled.. While on a 32spoke wheel it won't be as visible.
To be honest Bear, you won't be 100kg for long if you're doing enough miles to pressure a wheel into buckling by breaking a spoke! Get some miles under your belt and don't worry about the wheels etc
Just finished a 70 mile Sportive; very windy but an awesome ride.
Time : 3hrs 50 mins
Avg Speed : 18.4 mph
Climbing : 1,500 meters
Average power : 250w (Strava)
Good work and average mph, what was the terrain like? Fairly flat I'm guessing with that elevation over 70 miles...
To circumvent the 4 GB limit you could: a) make a shorter video, b) make a video at a lower resolution or c) upgrade to Windows 8.
That's extremely lame - especially given the same issue doesn't exist in the Win8 version of the software.
Sounds to me like they compiled it (for some unknown reason) with a file limit in it... Smacks to me of windows 7 x86! Although odd they've 'fixed' it in Windows 8... As there shouldn't need to be a different program for each OS?!
Be careful, it's not listed as waterproof! I have the
Ortlieb micro but I don't carry my pump or chain tool in it, I have the
pump mounted next to one of my bottle cages. The bag is ok but again and again I'm edging towards something else but I'm going to have one last effort by wrapping my metal bits in old inner tube to try and reduce the rattle.
I'm going to ask a silly question now... But why do you need to carry a chain tool? Side of the road servicing a chain doesn't sound like a great idea to me...
First 50 miler

Get some
cream! Nice ride though, middle section is nice and flat! I need to find me some of those...
Hit a slight snag with my Superstar Garmin/Gopro mount and the Gopro part of it doesn't appear to be threaded (
like in this picture) so I can't use my GoPro to VIRB adaptor. Going to email Superstar now and see what they say...!
