Just under 70km out on the bike with a mate last night on the Diverge, averaged 32km/h taking it in turns up front. Was basically 2km intervals! You can certainly motor along 2s up!

Yup!
For me ā¦ I did my standard ~100km route today. But backwards 
Mental, I know, right 
Loads of trucks, traffic lights, tractors, plus a telephone call meant I stopped for 10 minutes 
All that stopping knocked me back to 29.8kmh for 102km.
Headwind out, which then changed for a headwind most of the way back too 
225W NP Vs 200W NP on Sunday

Bit of a light week for me. Iāll call it a recovery week. Spotted it in my diary a while back, that work and fam stuff would squeeze my time.
Not sure if Iāll have time to squeeze anything in tofsy or not. But I did at least do some S&C this morning.
Hoping for a few hours on the bike tmw morning though. Sunday is looking potentially booze and food oriented!

Longest ride of year for me.
All the way round I was wondering if my stats would appease @Poet .
Normally Iām to slow, to short or to flatā¦
Had some of the most patient drivers all with really good wide overtakes. Apart from Karen going to some festival who wanted to overtake, then veer left to turn right 
So clear out tooā¦had some amazing views. Wish I had camera on the bike. Couldāve stopped and got my phone out but then Iād be slow like Tom

You had 8:30 stopping time
But, strong ride 
Now, if you double that distance at that speed, youāll match me 
Thatās my 10th road ride of the year
Not even done 2,000 miles yet

Almost all of that was within a mile off the house trying to get in and out thru sawley.
I should really just wait till Iāve cleared that car park before starting ride.
Was slow till halfway, but then descending with tailwind picked up quick.

Do people use auto pause for junctions, traffic lights, cars, idiots crossing the road and all the rest of the crap we have to put up with?
Or just leave the clock running and divide it by distance and come up with kph ?
If itās likely to be a minute or so I stop mine, otherwise I try and time it to avoid unclipping.

I use auto pause.
I found without it, I became a d1ck with lights changing and junctions and anything else that started to really slow my average.
Was taking unnecessary risks (which I know is pointlessā¦but still did it).
Auto pause calms me the fĀ£#k down

Same as Jeff for me. And then Strava will inevitably do itās own thing and come up with a slightly different number from my garmin.

30 minute spin class at lunch.
30 minute swim tonight. Hopefully the c-unit from last night, who though doing breaststroke slowly in the fast lane, will not be there.

Stopping for traffic lights?? Remember as cyclists we donāt need to stop at reds 
Good week of training for me. Iām now doing 2 hard run sessions a week; 2x5k threshold and shorter intervals, everything else easy. Bonus session this week with a 10k race on Sunday!

The route I do ( itās my only route) has 7 left hand turns in the middle of nowhere itās a 10 k loop which includes hunters hill in its full form, dairy farm to rigby arms pub Iāve done 7? Laps without unclipping before now, bit boring but very very safe and very few cars.
31-32 kph and I know Iām in shape ā¦ working on it and avoiding the idiots !
