I'll be posting some up soon, as I've just finished building something up. Just got to put the bar tape on it & it'll be ready for action. Plus one of mine has had a makeover, but that's still got to be built up

Re: The Cycling Thread
I guess that is true. Doesnt make it any easier at 9.5 miles a white bmw x5 driver jumps the roundabout and nearly t bones me. Its amazing how close you can get to a bumper without being hit.
Added 33bpm and reduced my speed to 0 quickly as I missed the turning and headed into the chevrons. On a happier note what do you see in this picture  Those arent the red mountains

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'm no expert or doctor.
In the first one your heart rate looks ok if you are working reasonably hard, the second chart it appears your heart rate is over 200, I've not seen that in any of your previous stuff the average HR has always been around 150-160 similar to mine when I'm working reasonably hard. I'd check the battery in my HRM or have a word with my doctor. |

Re: The Cycling Thread
HRMs can give strange readings if the contact with the skin isn't good.
My Garmin has a chest band type and I read that giving the sensors a lick when putting it on improve the contact/reliability. It does seem to work. |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Not sure what caused the readings above but a change of clothing seemed to sort it out. The graph was from last year.
Only just changed the original battery last week Agree with the wetting the chest strap as it makes for more consistent readings.
