NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

I got a new gadget!

It's the Mavic Ultimate bike computer and I must say I'm quite impressed. This is an example of the data it can give me post-ride so that I can review it at my leisure. I haven't set up all the parameters yet but we will get there.

It's a poor quality picture - average speed was actually 25.3kmh. Top speed was 67kmh that was fun! We preparing Jonny for IM Nice and that's all we've got down here, you can only work with what you have. There's another hill north west of Old Winchester Hill that I need to work into a ride sometime, although I can't remember what it's called. It was a beast though!

Yeah, I've done that one if we're talking about the same climb. About 25% and 3/4 of a mile long. Famous with the roadies around there. It's great when you meet a car going down on a single track road and then you have to stop and clip back in to start again. Some real comedy starts.

If you were doing 67 going down what does that make your speed going up, to average 25? :-)
