macca33, well done on the big March macca33, best of luck for the Murray to Moyne and 1000km April.
find_bruce, top effort, that's a long way/time to be towing up a hill. How was the brakes on the way back down?
grantw, well done on such a huge month. As for my segment, it would be interesting to see how the local A grade segment hunters go on it.
My March finished off as my shortest in around two years with 443.1km but I still managed to get the climbing in with a total of 7029m, passing the 6999m mark with about 1 hour left in the month. I'm actually a bit suprised at being further ahead of the climbing triangle than the distance one. It's a much steeper year so far this year.

Had my first April ride tonight, hoping it pushes me back into more regular weekday riding!
Well done on the climbing too sblack, keep up the good work.

Weather is looking good for M2M - touch wood - for the overnight sojourn.

Mind if I borrow it "Hi honey I was going for a 200km ride but my chain was a bit squeaky so I stopped at the pub for a beer"
Of course it would only be credibile if I actually had done a 200 km ride at some point in my life

That's not good Grant. I'm hoping you haven't coped the same one I have. I think I'm getting over round 3 at the moment, proving rather difficult to shake properly, even with good doses of rest. Each dose costs at least a week of riding, lucky I had a good start to the year to keep me ahead of target with the breaks.grantw wrote:Not so good Shane, I appear to have contracted manflu following the various soakings during the week so I'm in sook mode now for a few days .

I reckon I'll live - bit of a fever, nagging headache and general aches and pains and lack of energy so far. All pretty low grade symptoms which indicate rest and vitamin C.sblack wrote: That's not good Grant. I'm hoping you haven't coped the same one I have.

That sounds like it Dave. I'm back to the ride and generally ok but coughing up phlegm stage again. Although riding is only moderate effort as any time I push it the rate off coughing ups dramatically.DaveOZ wrote:You must have the same as me Shane. 2 rounds and I still can't shake the phlegm after 3 weeks. I can ride and feel generally ok now but still coughing up crap. No runny nose or fever though.

I have been fortunate to stay healthy so far this year (touch wood) and kept a week or so ahead of target.
Had my brother visit from Vic last week and introduced him to a road bike (He is an avid hard-tail mtb rider) and he was surprised how much he enjoyed it. Managed to hire a good quality specialised which helped. We had a couple of rides together which was enjoyable.
Good to have the signatures back.
Cheers
Graeme

Spent the past week playing around with Strava, Velo Viewer and took a while to find the siganature thingy which I think I've now managed to setup.
Only started using Strava mid Jan so I've got a few more rides from the beginning of the year which aren't recorded there.

As for your missing rides in Strava, you can upload a GPX file if you have the rides somewhere that it's an option to export as a GPX or alternatively you can manually add rides as well.
