Thursday Night - Hour of Power

My garmin has one. I use it, in that I wear it, but not in that I pay attention to it or understand it.

lol, well when I have mine I can ignore it too

its good to see the exact moment you hit the pain cave.

I also get cadence, a little defunct riding fixed but I guess it will save me doing maths while riding

edit: thinking about this i never did maths while riding what am I saying

On 50x16, speed x 4 is pretty much cadence, on 50x19 it's just under speed x 5. Choose gears for easy maths, innit :P

my cadences are:
slow
fast
spinning-like-a-loon

Cadence is for beginners. I stopped cadencing in like the 80s and shit or whatever.

Yeah i use one. Personally it doesn't really show me how hard i'm working as my legs give in before my "engine" does as it were. It sits at 50-odd resting and then 180ish when riding and thats about it. Must have a digital heart.

Comes from the sprinters background, last time i was tested (probably about 5 years ago now) by max heart rate was something daft so 180, and even 190 is comfortable for me.

I just ordered a new computer comes with heart rate monitor any one else use one?

Anyhow, i'm out this week as i'm getting sent offshore, whoopdy-do. Annoying as i was hoping to give the new bike an outing.

Will be doing laps tomorrow, but probably doing boring solo stuff again.

I'll be there tomorrow. Will get a list up this evening.

In

Going to be pissing down tomorrow, no?

Out

Shake it all about.

I'm keen but will probably excuse myself if it's very wet

Don't finish work until 8pm - out. I've done sweet f.a. riding this week. I hate the rain...

Out again. If things continue as they are I may well end up being at the pub every Thursday night until the end of time.

In, rain or shine.

I'll be riding round the park tomorrow, but probably not before 7.30. Say hi if you are still about.

I'm out for this. Doing 'normal' stuff [non-cycling] instead; it's raining anyway so I guess I don't mind. See you out next week hopefully!

Meet at 1830hrs at the gate opposite York Bridge for a 1845 start.

20mph+ average, but if you can't hold on there'll no doubt be other wheels to follow. Stop after 8 laps.

This is on public roads so please ride accordingly.
Running reds is frowned upon.
Signal your moves and stops.
You are responsible for your own wellbeing out there.
A heads up as to who is riding fixed and who is riding geared is also helpful, but this ride welcomes both.

Optimistic list, weather dependent. Not near a computer for a lot of tomorrow so not much list maintenance going on.

Was hoping to do HoP geared a bit this year but due to the forecast I'll be fixed tomorrow - so either 66" or 74" - probs the latter! Reserve the right to wimp out if it's properly pissing down though.
