How was your ride?
Today my Garmin decided to send me the wrong way and up some steep hills for 5 miles.
It obviously thinks I'm too fat and not working hard enough... 
Possession?
Manage to out climb the guy who always shoots past me. I don't know who he is but he looks the 'Pirate' on a white steel roadbike from the 80's with huge cable outers coiled over the bars.

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on every descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

Hopefully it'll still be allowed for recreational use.

Churnalism nowadays - mostly clickbait stuff and regurgitation in the local rags/comics and beyond.

I'm glad the barrier wasn't damaged. Whew, close one there! \s

Very good thank you.
Sorry to hear about your swim Nat, but hope it was a blast when you look back.
Jimnm- Flat roads + harder gear could mimic climbing? Although it will look odd as little old ladies walk faster as you stand powering on lol.
Cambridgeshire is flat too but I found local B roads that rise steeply - explore you'll find hills.
Can you imagine my embarrassment when I get passed on the prom with a lil old lady in a mobility scooter. Proper red face lmao
Ps: I always use the three small cogs and large chain ring. Stand on pedals in a head wind.
My ride was.. fish like. The roads were awash and might as well have been rivers. So humid it was rediculous. But I made it through the rain.. There's a song in there some where.
Hi Mr Fish n Chips, I had a good ride this morning from Bispham to St Anne's and back only about 20 miles give or take 1\2mile or so. It's the Fylde Coast I can't find any decent hills here
it's too flat but the wind off the sea makes up for it sometimes lol
