I have the Garmin Edge 200. If you go into settings on your Garmin and switch auto pause on that will sort your time and speed for you :)

I have to say my socks had such a difference!! Love them x

Thank you veloman ;) I rode 23 miles today(still very cold with snow about) in my new woolie boolies and my feet were toastie, so I am very happy :D

Thank you everyone :) I have just ordered some woolie boolies from wiggle so will see if they help.

I get this after 10 or so miles and have learnt that if I take my hands off the bars for 30 secs at a time it improves! Also changing position on my bars really helps x

The only thing I meet round here are tankers or tractors!!!! They have got to know me now and actually slow down or even pull in and stop!!!!! Maybe I am scary or something? lol x If someone rides too close to me then I use language or a couple of fingers :laugh:

I LOVE this :)

Anyone rich enough to have a wattbike? If I win the lottery I fancy one :laugh:

Looks great :wink: Might have a go in August after my holiday!

Thank you x you are so lovely x I am starting to enjoy the downhills more but I'm not very brave! I fly on the flat(average around 22 miles an hr) but I'm still not brave enough to try the drops yet! Lol xx

I highly recommend this saddle :happy: I can ride all day in it and not get sore! It has made all the difference to me x

We are following each other on Strava :wink: I agree about the cadence too! When I done my ride on Sunday my husband was following(in places in the car) and said my cadence was much better. I have learnt to spin faster rather than make my legs ache! Makes everything much easier, all I have to do is lose the weight and all…

Done my first ride in company today!! The West Wales Bike Ride for The British Heart Foundation. Decided on the long route at 46 miles(gulp) but have to say I loved it and was very well run :) The start was a bit hairy and I didn't clip in for the first few miles as there were sooo many cyclists but after that was great…

We have about 12 bikes in total(mostly my husbands!!) but I own 2, a Boardman Hybrid Pro(which I love for family rides with the kids) and my new Cannondale Caad 10 Ultegra :love: Just done my first sponsored ride toaday and loved it x Bike was fantastic :happy:

Thank you everyone for your replies x Nikki your reply makes total sence :wink: Done a shorter distance today and upped my speed so was happy :happy: Also just realised that I have to climb 322ft in the first 3 miles just to get anywhere!! Lol I must lose the weight to make it easier x My bike is all up together and is a…

Love your ride reports :smile: Mine are all boring and at the moment and involve a lot of heavy breathing(hills) and bloody tractors squashing me on the road! x

TBY Can I ask when you were bigger(I now it was a long time ago) x did you drink more than you do now? I tried to make 2 750ml bottlesof water last me a ride today and still ran out 5 miles from home :noway: I do sweat a hell of a lot as I am so overweight!!! Help xx

Want to say a huge thank you x I have Sidi and I was doing them up too tight and getting sore feet! Today I tried what you said and felt so much better x:wink:

I first tried a road bike 2 months ago which was my husbands and I only rode 3 miles as I felt like my hands were going to drop off the front of the hubs!! I now have my own road bike with the bars higher and love it :) He has his tilted down to much(for me anyway) Good luck x

A Pro filter would be good. I don't care about the QOM I only care about improving my times :) I am looking forward to being 50lbs lighter than what I am now to be able to smash my own times though x

Thanks allaboutthecake and TheBigYin look forward to being on the Strava group x

Hi all x I have asked to join you all on Strava but so far have had no reply :( I am not fast and don't do as many miles as some of you but would love to try and catch up! New Caad 10 Ultegra arriving tomorrow so hoping to up my pace a bit!

Hi everyone :) My name is Julie, I am a 42yr old mum of 2 young boys. I have spent my life around horses(still have 4) but 2 months ago my husband(very much into bikes) bought me my first bike(a Boardman hybrid pro) I have always ridden a little but always borrowed one of his bikes! It is so nice having my own bike! My…
