We don't have it quite as bad as you guys.... many more roads to chose from, lot less riders on strava. But it would be good if when doing a segment search you could filter it a bit better to find most popular segments.Dimma wrote:Agree Ian, I miss the feature when Strava used to sort by # of times ridden instead of date, so many nonsense ones cluttering up the page.

By the way...did the bunny jump out of the way of your head lights ???? You seem to be going backwards.....going to be a good effort to bridge a 4000 k gap in two monthsLukeyboy wrote:Yeah.

Little did I realise how tough 23km/h average speed is. It requires something other than my brute force methods - something called bravery and bike handling.
4th place... Fun little segment though of twists and turns uphill.
Now - re the above - I've had a rabbit dart in front of me at 40-something km/h - that got the heart rate going.

Hopefully my commuting k's will put me in good stead for the fitness required for racing. Hopefully I wont be dropped like a sack full of ....t on my first race.
What is cycling doing to me

Do you ride with guys who race to get a gauge as to where you're at?
PS My VV Score is creeping up slowly

Thats my unknown...my commuting is 99% done alone...and due to the k's I would rarely ride weekends (also because thats when the wife and I would spend time together)Dimma wrote: Best of luck mate, you'll kill it.

I have this year come across another "commuter" and he does race - B grade here I believe. I can keep up with him sort of, depends on how many k's I have done already and how I am feeling bodywise. I also run Marathon Plus tyres and have a backpack compared to him on slicks and no back pack.
I am also going to cut the commuting back to three days from now in order to give the body a chance to recover. Taking today and tomorrow off from cycling to try and give myself some chance this saturday.
Damien..as to your VW score going up slowly...is that what you call 50 to 99 in one week lol...good to see the score back to where it should be
