Feeling knackered now. At least with the rain tomorrow I can hide in the office.

really need to get my fat backside back on the bike.. I used to ride regularly before I broke my knee ( fell of the shed ) and it's been a struggle to get motivated again.

Lovely comment from yesterdays Tour of Britain, Borders stage winner Matteo Trentin:

I really enjoyed watching them whistle past, but it made me wonder if any of the riders makes their Strava feed or other performance data available to the public?
I can see why they'd want to keep it private, but I'd love to see how professional riders performs on my local Strava segments

Certainly on Le Tour some riders were putting up Strava data. I expect some are on the Tour of Britain

Just looked, Alex Dowsett has put yesterday’s stage on Strava. 105 miles av speed 26mph 6300 feet of climbing. That’s impressive, he rode with 54 others so there is a lot of them on Strava

Average of 26mph, even in my prime I could only average 18-20mph, and that was on a good day, no wind and practically no hills ?

The only way I will average 18mph is a continuous downhill route

Brilliant!

I looked at a few segments this morning, no sign of the top riders. It turns out that pottering about in the peloton gets Alex Dowsett a top 50 spot out of 1785 riders on that segment. My busting a gut gets me up to 1047 out of 1785...

His average of 26.5 mph (KoM is 27.2) over a flat 1.25 miles also only averaged 166 Watts - the power of slipstreaming!

If anyone's interested in giving TrainerRoad a bash, I've 3 free one month trials available. Drop me a pm.

Palace to Palace. Prince's Trust . It did not go as planned. Had a,stomach bug the night before . Could hardly eat anything on the ride and got severe cramp .

 

[fudge]

Still 90 miles @14mph isn’t bad going! Congratulations are in order.

I did my one and only century last year and my average was similar, and that was me in good health! Well done for seeing it through.
