have you got garmin edge 800 yet? (well worth the Money)

[Chunkymunky]

[Rupe]

No i haven't. Will look into it.

 

Do you have a smartphone thingy?

 

Endomondo pro os £2.99 well worth it!! There is a free version but like all free apps it will contain adverts and kill your battery.

 

Endomondo is the easiest to use IMO, but strava is also very good, but again strava kills phone batteries.

I have downloaded os mapfinder as i go out in my landy too and for work its great. Fantastic app and can record routes with pictures and uploads to icloud when wifi available.

 

Just back from first ride out on the new bike. Really nice. Feels good. 22 miles in 1 hour 15. Malvern to upton to worcester and back.

My sister and family came to stay saturday night. Her husband brought his bike and came with me on my sunday bike session with the traithlon club. He was the second fastest there over the 25 mile route (not long by any standards) and then after lunch he cycled back to Bristol!!

I was pleased with my 26miles yesterday but seems a bit naff looking at you lot lol. I was pleased as it was on my mountain bike but road riding, even got the occasional nod and hello from the roadies, I'm a bit tempted to get one but think I need some more saddle time to get used to the pain, I wear padded shorts but still hurts a goodun

I've got a one-bike-for-everything policy. Mountain bike has to do it all! Change tyres for road trips.

Was away on a weekend tour last week with a bunch of mates who all had road bikes and I didn't keep them waiting too much. We did a circular Sustrans route from Edinburgh, about 180 miles. No rush, three days.

 

Road bikes are pretty focussed, they don't like anything too bumpy!
