Thanks for the heads up this site. There is so much data available on this site it's almost scary.kb wrote:Sounds like you'd really appreciate the veloviewer summary page.

I have to try to get faster over the same distance or travel a longer distance over the same time. I use strava to monitor my average speed. It's the only way I can monitor my improvement.
I just bought a topeak dry bag for my iPhone. Can't wait to go for a ride.

On this particular route I know over the last ten years I have slowed up, but then I am ten years closer to death, traffic is ten years heavier and I am ten years wiser and cautious about taking risks in peak traffic.

I notice that my ride speed flutuates depending on how busy my day was, whether I ate the right food, am hydrated and not sore. At times I can fly and get up to 49kmh on my way home during the spring time. Other times I am struggling to start and am stuck at 18kmh.
Until recent, y I always tried to push myself thinking that since I am going such a short distance I have to push push push. However after much reading I have now realised that sometimes its fine to just churn in the morning when its -4 degrees (canberra) and I did a workout the previous night. The trick I think is not to get competitive when others overtake you

3 kmh quicker than the lumbering steel commuter. High spoke count round spoked wheels shod with heavy wider tyres are a fair chunk of the difference I reckon.
The Cervelo was an absolute delight to get back on though. Felt like getting out of an old valiant into a Porsche.

Not bad for a "lumbering steel bike with high spoke count wheels and 29 mm tyres."
