Try picking 70kg up if you need a reminder
Actually, don't do that - that's how I hurt my back.

I weigh myself every morning. This morning's result: 194lb. A week of munching cakes & biscuits and glugging energy drinks hasn't done me any good.
I've had major acid reflux for the last few days too...
Pffff. I bet my ability to cope with hot conditions is superior to yours.
Still a jessie though

Just weighed myself, I've increased to 60.5kg.
This is the result of too much meat and 2 weeks without exercise.
Must be tough lugging that around richmond
I'VE DONE IT! I'VE DONE MY FIRST 50 MILER! Actually, I'VE DONE MY FIRST METRIC CENTURY! http://app.strava.com/activities/64882266
Was out with the whole intention of riding up to York Race Course and back, working out to be about 50 miles. My lovely missus was suppose to be at home till I'm home, but decided she needed to go in to work early and conveniently took my house keys. Had to put in an extra effort, climbing up a 'little' hill which nearly killed me after over 55 mile ride.
Got home in the end. Now for a cold water soak!

Nice one!
When's the first century then?
When's the first century then?
I'm not sure, I set myself a target of hitting my first 50 mile in Summer 2013. Didn't look that far ahead as I've been dreading it seeing as I've only started proper road biking and long distancing since May.
Think my focus will be on my times/average speed at shorter distance to metric century. Maybe when a nice day arrive like today, I'll give it a push for longer distance

They should show up in your rides.
When you have uploaded something and you go into the details of it, scroll down and there will be a list of all the segments that you covered on that ride.
(you can also use the explore tab at the top to see a map of segments but ti shows everything so obviously you wont have a time on every segment.)

Did you do a low sky dive on to your ride start?
Even after the blip at the start thats an amazing profile.
25 miles and the highest point is 200ft
I like hills, but sometimes it would be nice to do a pan-flat ride like that.- Status
