You've jsut got home from a ride...

You have had your computer on Time of Day during it, you stop, you look at the stats.
95km; feck I could have found another 5km to make it a Metric century (the fact your gubbed and desperately in need of a recovery shower/bath and food goes out the window).

Annoyingly too my GPS logging failed about 12km from home (Note I apparently travelled 1km while sitting in the pub in Ceres watching the football scores and when eating lunch in Falkland, scoffing salted peanuts and drinking a pint of coke, I'm not leaving my phone in the bike bag.)

Anyone else?

That on a MTB?

I was trying out Google Latitude a few weeks ago and it tracked my route nicely, apart from thinking that I'd managed to put in a few hundred metres roughly 20 miles off the coast. The aquatic diversion left me with an average speed of over 40mph for the ride - which is even more of a joke if you'd seen me floundering up some of the steeper hills.

Bricks

That's an interesting thought, I might get some panniers and load em up with some good quality bricks and go for a ride in the peak district.

Dunnoh, that's not mine, I had a bright yellow jersey and rain jacket in a bag.
Average was only 18kmh

Oh and I grannied the Lomond Coll :oops:

Don't need bricks, it's 20kg of Reynolds 631 unloaded.

I'm still gutted that had I gone round by tayport instead of the shortcut I would have been over 100km.

Great weather in county durham for me too how many more days like this left this year? I'd have been gutted if I'd missed it so it definitely counts as a good day (correction: we beat chelsea so make that a great day!)

Its a nice loop around the Forth. From Edinburgh to Stirling then back around the coast and over the Bridge.

Some times you never see a soul

I think I may have passed 6 or 7, 2 MTBers between Star of Markinch and Burnturk, 2 roadies in the same area (seperatley) and a couple of tourers between Newburgh and Hazelton Walls.

My original plan was to loop the tay.
Basically Wormit, The Gauldry, Newburgh, Bridge of Earn, Perth, Kinoull, CArse of Gowrie, Dundee, Tay Road Bridge, Newport, Wormit.
But I can't make the football on Wednesday night so dropped my season ticket off at a mates in Glenrothes.

Someday I will be doing routes like that with a smallest gear of 48-22 rather than 22-32; I hope.
