Guildford Peloton Mini Strava Challenge #2 Week 5 - Monday 22/4/13 - Sunday 28/4/13


David C:  A clear win for Steve (again) this week but some good rides posted generally. On GC Steve is stretching away in to the distance but just 45 miles separate 2nd from 4th.

 *Please note my scores are best estimates because my broadband connection at home is on the blink. One of the rides was with Justin so I have used his data and the other was on a familiar 16.4 miles loop so should be reasonably close - they certainly won’t affect the overall placing and I’ll adjust as soon as broadband is up and running.

Keep going guys.

Michael C:  Aye right !  Honest Guv – my broadband has been on the blink for the last 3 weeks so can I add my “familiar” 100 mile / 10,000 ft Sunday run ?!  Happy birthday by the way Stato – is there a “veteran” classification on Strava?

Duncan S:  I rode into Kingston and back on Saturday morning but forgot to attach my Garmin. Eight miles and 14 metres of climb needs to be considered by the stewards.  Talking about veterans, Mike and I were looking at a race in Chianti, the wine region, which has a restriction of only 1000 participants under 60 but unlimited riders over 60. It is so oversubscribed for the under 60’s that they decide who has an entry by ballot. Some 5000 people participate each year the first weekend of October. Cycling, sunshine and wine, is that a good combination?  It is called L’Eroica (not Erotica, wash your mouth out).  Oh, and the other rule is that the bike must be pre 1987 with gear changers on the downtube. As it happens I have a number of qualifying bikes in my garage if anyone is interested.

Craig S:  Not a chance!   Do the airlines charge extra for carrying all that steel?

Duncan S:  We haven’t thought about the logistics yet.  Are you saying your wife wouldn’t enjoy a long weekend in Sienna, Florence and Chianti with wine and sunshine or that you don’t fancy the ride?
