    @helen_goldthorpe Congratulations on the new power PB! Are your race results in yet?

    @ccrdragon I came off the bike dripping everywhere yesterday too - but in my case it was rain water :sweat_smile:
    Second time this month already that the weather forecast looked okay enough to take the bike to work, and it started pouring rain in the afternoon. Only last week I could put on my rain gear - yesterday I realized it was not at the bottom of my commute backpack, it was still hung up to dry in the basement at home...

    @kcjchang The everesting challenge sounds interesting. Sadly, also very much impossible for me!
    I moved to a very, very flat area last year. I did some research looking for hilly Strava segments after moving here and found one 3km long climb with 172m elevation (6%), but it's 85km away - haven't been there yet.
    My cycling for 2020 to date is 1059 km (658 mi) with an elevation gain of 4200m (13775 ft). About one third of that elevation was during my two week summer vacation. To give you an idea: this is the segment on the "local hill" that people here use for hill training. I'd have to ride that hill more than a hundred times for the challenge :D

    A few commutes for September so far, no "dedicated" ride yet:
    Tue, 9/1/2020 - 23.5km commute
    Wed, 9/2/2020 - 18.8km commute (starting at the auto shop)
    Thu, 9/3/2020 - 26.6km commute
    Tue, 9/8/2020 - 28.4km commute
    Wed, 9/9/2020 - 24.5km commute
    ---
    133.5km for September

    I have provisional results - they're wrong, but I know how they're wrong (some people, including me, were set off a minute after we should have been, so our times are a minute out. We have until tomorrow to let the organisers know if we're affected and then they'll update and finalise the results). It shouldn't affect my placing though - it looks like I came 4th and should pick up the vets prize :)

    Yesterday's session was evil - an hour at FTP on the turbo (probably just under FTP in reality - it was based on my old FTP but I'm due a retest). Today I'm heading out on the TT bike, I tweaked the position to try to make it faster and want to test it before this weekend's race.

    Wet and chilly this morning... the cold front came thru and dropped the temps into the mid 50's for the morning along with rain for most of the night.

    @helen_goldthorpe Congratulations on your race results! Very impressive placement, especially since you have mentioned that all the strong riders are in that race.

    9.06- 31.33mi - 1h44m
    9.08- 31.27mi - 1h44m
    9.09- 31.27mi - 1h43m
    9.11- 49.67mi - 2h45m
    310.9 mi for September. I don't have any miles goal, just getting out as much as possible and ride. I absolutely love being on the road, so whatever time i have i go. Trying not to feel guilty for spending time away from my wife, although she's very supportive of my habit, but still.

    Fairly quiet and uneventful cycling week.
    My part time job was more job than part time this week....
    116 miles and best ride was a lumpy ride in the Surrey Hills AONB.

    Targetted a particularly nasty climb that goes almost instantly from flat to double digit gradient and seems to go on forever but is really about half a mile, to get a good time you have to push like a lunatic up the steep climb and then accelerate despite already gasping for breath as it reduces to single digit elevation and try and keep that speed for the next mile. My previous best was 8:44 and got exacty the same time again - frustrating!!!
  • I hear you @icemom011 on the spending time away from loved ones. While my wife is supportive, these three plus hour rides I sometimes do really get on her nerves. I try to go early on the weekends while she and the kids are still sleeping.

    I'm lucky that my OH is a cyclist too. We don't always ride together but can go out and do separate rides at the same time as a break from spending all the time together WFH!

    30 mile TT yesterday. I didn't feel like I quite got as much out of myself as I'd like but my Garmin said this so I guess I didn't do too badly...ilwxusxrz1d0.png

    This is a new data with my new heart rate monitor. Not too bad, and I've been saying for a while that i feel like I'm in my 20s. Just celebrated 49th bday, btw.

    Nice set of landmarks after today's ride:

    Hit 4,000 miles for the year.

    "Lazarus", my #1 bike, clocked up 12,000 miles. It was killed by a rogue car driver but rose again, hence the name....

    Exceeded my highest number of PRs in a year (746 and counting) - a little surprising as thanks to the pandemic most of my riding has had to be close to home on roads I've ridden a lot.

    Earned the Strava badge for 600+km in September.
  • Got a 21.5 mile afternoon ride in
    Gives me 199.99 miles so far this month 😬
    Probably not gonna hit my 350 mile goal ☹️

    No long rides this week but totalled 181 miles with six rides.
    435 miles for September but slightly behind on my climbing goal (as usual... :blush: ).

    In the week that marked the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain here's a picture of a WW2 pillbox standing next to one of the hard climbs I do in the in the Surrey Hills. Built to defend the approaches to London from the invasion that never happened.
