The idea of an actual organised one terrifies me, it took me long enough to join a club.
There's no substitute for pinning a number on to find out what you're really capable of. If you're not going to race, why are you even measuring power? You might as well just enjoy the scenery, it's more pleasant and healthier.

Coz I like seeing that I'm improving, basically. Isn't it the same reason that everyone uses Strava? It's not as if power meters are expensive any more, so I don't see a good reason not to use one really.
I do have vague notions of racing this year, but at the moment they are just notions. I'll probably do some track league, but I'm quite happy just doing chain gangs/SQTs/club runs as they keep me sane and keep the weight off.

Bleurgh. Thinking about it, the TT circuits around here are pretty well mapped. Just need to get out and have a spin round. The idea of an actual organised one terrifies me, it took me long enough to join a club.
