It's been a while since I posted here, but I am chugging along....still behind the red arrow, but hope to have a solid April and May in Canberra's beautiful autumn weather to close the gap. PLus I have had a cold/manflu over the last 2 weeks which is finally starting to disappear....

Thought I was finally feeling better today and contemplating a decent ride tonight. Then I started pushing it on the commute home and quickly turned into a coughing, spluttering mess. The will power to allow proper rest and recovery and not send things backwards again is proving extremely difficult.

I arrived home to something a bit different, finding we had been evacuated due to a bomb in the area. Initial reports where that a suspicious device was found in the reserve behind our house but the later confirmation by the police was that an "explosive device with the potential to harm people and damage property" was located on the first floor of a house just across the reserve. The bomb squad was called down from Sydney to dismantle it.

Crikey Shane, a little bit too much excitement for one evening!

Welcome aboard Gary.

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.

Thanks for the welcome. Managed to load all the rides from the start of January into Strava via the .gpx file. They haven't translated across to the cycle goal tracking thingy as yet.(I think that's the official name of the tool)

Gary, if you go to the Setting menu you can click on "Fetch Ride Data" if you can't wait for it to refresh overnight...

Thank you! I've done that now so hopefully will see my progress move from behind to in front

Hi guys, another newbie here. Looks like I got my work cut out for me but we'll see how I go.

hey welcome, its never too late to join this elite club!

My manflu was assessed by my admin assistant as sinus today and I dare not argue with her. She told me to htfu and forced me to drink some apple cider vinegar for good measure. Tomorrow, I shall ride! (or die - apple cider vinegar is horrible)

Hi party people, another Newbie there for this club, love a challenge despite the daunting prospect ahead...

[Mugglechops]

Good to hear you didn't get blown up Shane

Welcome Remnant, new to cycling as well or just the 6K club?

[Gary78]

Bit damp on the commute in this morning but nothing too serious. Still no update to the tracking thingy

[singlespeedscott]

Went for a ride this morning and just kicked over 2500km for the year. Giddy up . Nearly 850km in front of the arrow.

Now watch me pickup the flu from the kids with the onset of winter.

Nice work! You'll smash the 6k goal at the rate you're going... stretch goal of 10k!

Rain here today so I gave the CycleOps Magnetic Pro a crack, with the included workout DVD. It was a decent workout, so I cannot complain. Definitely need to get a fan though, as a lake formed beneath me very quickly!

cheers

Grab the Sufferfest videos. I have done a review on a few of them at http://nonprocycling.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yes Norbs, I read your reviews and they are the reason why I will NOT grab the Sufferfest videos - I'm not crazy mate!!!

To be honest, I am hoping to avoid the trainer as much as possible, so will do the included video, or just my own intervals to music when I have to ride it.

cheers

I'll see how we go. Strava reckons I'm only averaging 207km ATM. That's something I need to do every week. It's a bit hard to fit around work and family.

That looks like an interesting weekend Riles - the pass isn't that bad
