Just a small ride today Count: 11 Activities Distance: 196.67 mi Time: 14:34:35 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 7,347 ft Avg Speed: 13.5 mph Avg HR: 121 bpm Calories: 15,671 C Max Distance: 44.10 mi

p.s. if your bpm are exceeding 160 then you need to keep a close eye on them, safe limit for a man is 220 take away your age, good luck with the rides :smile:

I use the Garmin 705 and I find it pretty good but slightly generous, on your settings knock off a few pounds on the device and you will get more accurate numbers, Looking at the bpm can we assume that you are new to cycling and this was a hard ride for you? I weigh about 230lbs and ride about a 14mph average on a 35lb…

Good luck with the ride home Emma, 3 months ago I was walking up the hills now I am doing 60 mile rides and not walking a step !! You will be amazed how quickly you get fitter doing it :) 32 miles today of which half was offroad. Count: 9 Activities Distance: 148.43 mi Time: 11:15:07 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 5,454 ft Avg…

Thanks for the concern guys, all ok now and back on the bike properly tomorrow after a few smaller rides to give my back a little rest :) Count: 8 Activities Distance: 115.69 mi Time: 8:59:34 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 4,109 ft Avg Speed: 12.9 mph Avg HR: 119 bpm Calories: 9,469 C Max Distance: 44.10 mi

Push yourself not the bike

Really struggled today with my back after yesterday's mishaps but it was good to finally get a bit of decent weather to get a few miles in (44 today) http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/gregsonevans/e6g015ldbi25ohgp Count: 7 Activities Distance: 104.67 mi Time: 7:56:58 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 3,550 ft Avg Speed: 13.2 mph…

I bought a second hand unused Oregon Scientific for just £5 and I have worn it the same time as my Garmin 705 on my bike and it is pretty much the same , Polar and Garmin are probably the most popular ones but they all do pretty much the same thing so just decide how much you want to spend and go from there, if you are…

Bit stiff but will be ok, I was more worried about my bike with my phone on the handlebars when I saw the river !!

I was diagnosed type 2 about 6 months ago and it was the best thing to happen to me in ages, since diagnosis I have lost 35lbs and cycle 200 miles a week to get fit, before diagnosis I weighed over 250lbs and ate nothing but junk food causing me to get a fatty liver which is now well on the way to being fixed, sometimes…

Not a good ride today, got hit by an old man on a roundabout who looked straight at me before pulling out and then fell off on the off road part of my ride nearly falling in the river and jarring my back, hopefully it will be better by tomorrow as I need to get a decent ride in as I usually do well over 200 miles a week…

Repaired my bike today and took it for a small test run this evening, hopefully I will be able to start knocking the miles out again now Count: 1 Activities Distance: 7.31 mi Time: 44:21 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 455 ft Avg Speed: 9.9 mph Avg HR: 106 bpm Avg Run Cadence: -- Avg Bike Cadence: -- Calories: 641 C

Count me in again, I probably rode an extra few hundred miles last month because of threads like this :smile:

63.5 miles today taking me to 880.31 miles for September, 13 miles less than August but with the change in weather I am more than happy with that amount as they seemed so much harder with the wind, looking forward to October now ..... http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/gregsonevans/4j6f8bpcqbkj7s5o

Just enjoy the miles that you have done, I have been chasing a massive target this month and at times I have hated being on the bike until I realised that I was not enjoying it and thought to hell with it, I am now riding again because I enjoy riding and who cares about the target !!

Only 14.3 miles today, just had nothing left in my legs when I was riding into the wind but tomorrow is another day and the rest might do me a bit of good as I have rode just about every day for the last 2 months, 816.78 miles for the month http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/gregsonevans/dnki1rk3aetgfbkd
