With a face that's feels like it's been in a bar fight I didn't fancy riding today so I'm benched, share really as the bonus point of the Robin Hood statue would have been an easy one to grab.
Shame - living in Nottingham, it's hard to AVOID Robin Hood references - even some of the street names count...14/02/2016 - Trofeo-Laigueglia - 50.5km - 306m - https://www.strava.com/activities/493320711

56.6 km 785 m
https://www.strava.com/activities/551585345
Today's ride was through an area near where I live that is called Santa Luz
The average 'family home' in the 'neighborhood' is probably anywhere between 5,000 to 10,000 square feet, (no exaggeration) they are built I believe in Italian style, it's an amazing neighborhood with fantastic views and photos do not do it justice, so I didn't take any, the pictures on my Strava ....
The flower is from my beach workout this morning and I thought it was so pretty that I needed to share it, and the other photo is just one of the tree lined roads we were on in another rich area called Rancho Santa Fe -
Nothing going on for extra points in the photo department.
Just a nice day of riding
logged, and again 1 bonus for climbing.20/04/2016- La Flèche Walloone
5.79km 51.2m
My Wahoo speed sensor was not picked up the first half (out leg) of my ride ... this should have been 15 km and almost 200m of climbing ... but Strava rules so I'll post it.

rest of riders had no entries in Strava at this point of logging. I'll be cutting off the entries around lunchtime today folks, so if there's a late ride still in your Garmin, now's probably the time to get downloading...

right folks, belated cut off for this event... I actually thought I'd already done so yesterday (I'm blaming the allergies meds this time, they always leave me with a bit of a woolly head for the first couple of days...)
Results to follow shortly in the Discussion thread, and stay tuned for the Writeup for this weekends event.

24.04.2016 Liège - Bastogne – Liège
Liège–Bastogne–Liège, often called La Doyenne ("the oldest"), is one of the five 'Monuments' of the European professional road cycling calendar. It is run in the Ardennes region of Belgium, from Liège to Bastogne and back.
Liège–Bastogne–Liège began in 1892 to publicise the newspaper L'Expresse It is because the paper was published in French that the route stayed in the southern, French-speaking half of Belgium. Its equivalent in the Dutch-speaking north is the Ronde van Vlaanderen.
The first race was for amateurs, from Spa to Bastogne and back. It was won by Leon Houa, who also won the first race for professionals in 1894.
Thirty-three riders started the first race, which was run by the Liège cycling union and the Pesant Club Liègois. Just 17 finished, all of whom were Belgian. Houa, who came from Liège, won by 22 minutes, after 11 hours on the road. The second man, Léon Lhoest, came in 22 minutes after him, and the third, Louis Rasquinet, at 44 minutes. Riders were still arriving for another five hours.
Houa won again the next year, this time by half an hour. He won again in 1894, by seven minutes. The 1894 race was for professionals, and the speed rose from 23.3 km/h (14.5 mph) to 25 km/h (16 mph). The winner of the first Tour de France, Maurice Garin, came in fourth. The race was then not run for 14 years, after which it was sometimes open only to amateurs and semi-professionals.
In 1909 the winner, Eugène Charlier, was disqualified, because he changed bicycles. The winner became Victor Fastre. Two riders shared the 1957 race. Germain Derijcke was first over the line, but because he crossed a closed rail crossing, the second-place rider, Frans Schoubben, was promoted to first as well. Derijcke was not disqualified, because he had won by three minutes advantage; judges felt he had not gained that much time from illegally crossing the railway.
Until 1991 the race finished in Liege city centre, with a flat run in to the finish. From 1992 the finish moved to the suburb of Ans, on the northern side of the city. The Côte de Saint Nicolas was added to the final kilometres, along with a final climb to the finish in Ans. The turn point was the train station in Bastogne, chosen because of its convenience for race officials.
The race follows a straightforward 95 km (59 mi) route from Liège to Bastogne, and a winding 163 km (101 mi) route back to Liège. The second half contains most of the climbs, such as the Stockeu, Haute-Levée, La Redoute, and Saint-Nicolas before finishing in the northern Liège suburb of Ans. The many hills give opportunities to attack, and the race often rewards aggressive riders.

And Our Spot Prizes on Sunday's Liège - Bastogne - Liège
Pretty much as last year, I reckon...I liked the "Railway Level Crossing" Photo Bonus idea for 1 point in ride
for those unsure of what I mean... something like this...
- drink's a given - anything Belgian (beer/cidre - hell I'll even allow "Wifebeater"* on this occasion!)
*Stella Artois, for those who didn't get it...
- As Again, It's a bit too short notice for shopping, I'll throw the snack bonus open to 1 point only for anything mentioned on the "Belgian cuisine" wikipedia page ?? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_cuisine
- usual "climb bonus" - 1pt for each 500m of total ascent up to a max of 3pts/1500+ metres.0 -

Liege- Bastogne- Liege
81.2 km 1,594 meters
I did get a picture of my post ride waffle,
It's not a real waffle it's honey stinger chocolate waffle snack -it is on my Strava - but I was hoping it would count -
One Saturday per month, the group I ride with on Saturday's, does a hill climbing challenge, where we take the group on all the most dreadful hills in the counties, this Saturday was no exception, most of the climbs are ones that most of the people that join us, have never been on, so it's like an explore as well, which does help, with breaking up the torture of the hills.

Pic of train crossing in strava, boom gates are up as no train. However note the cyclist dismount sign when crossing through the gates. Pretty uneventful ride. Need to adjust my heart rate monitor as is blanks out when I go over 167bpm. I suppose I am fitter than I think and can push harder. At some point in need to do a FTP.

Just a series of local loops, wasn't sure when I set out if I was actually feeling 100%, so stayed local, and just tried to "ride myself back into the groove..." so to speak. Reasonably successful, I guess, as I felt better on the way home than I did when I set out...
Managed to remember my Camera, and grabbed a couple shots of the railway crossings en-route...
and also a shot of my final stats for the "spring" campaign in the classics...
and to reward myself, for actually managing to ride in every one of the challenges so far, I had a bit of a special supper...
So, guess it's time for a break for this challenge now, there's a one-off at the end of July, after LeTour, then we resume in Late September for the finale...

Not really concerned with the point cuz my rail crossing photo is hazy & dim and it didnt show up on my map, even though the photo is GPS tagged it just doesnt seem to work on Strava. No worries
