I cycled from Armagh & met boys in Portydown so ended up doing 90m @ 18.8mph average. Only stopped once for 15mins.

Yes I reckon I could sustain 18.8 mph for 90 metres too.

Oh wait, hang on...

Good going benny! Great day for it as well! Been around the lough 6 times this year, going to go around it during the winter a good bit.

Thats some going, I'd be over the moon at 10/12 mph for that distance

Are any of yiz on Strava? It's a better way of tracking your progress than writing down your average speed and distance in a paper training diary.

I did LTL yesterday - average speed 27km/hr (16.8 mph). Second year doing it.

How did that only add 5 miles?

Lift home from peatlands - and i wasnt complaining.

I bought a Garmin (200) in the spring, best bit of cycling related equipment i've ever had (cost £97 on ebay), love it, i sit for ages studying the data. Recently got a Strava account, great job too.

I see the cycling gear is back in Lidl from Thursday & they have their own Garmin type GPS unit for £40.

Got the Garmin 200 myself this year - good piece of kit.

I set up a Gaaboard club strava account but don't know if people are able to find it. Might need a paying account to be able to set it up. Search it when u get a chance

Gotta be worth a punt.

Done 85 mile from Omagh to slane  on saturday and cycled back up again with a belly full of pints from the night before that wasn't a good idea.  Great riding by the Irish lads on the vuelta again today.

Loads of cycling gear in Lidl today but that gps unit was not for sale.
On sale in the North only maybe?

Was gonna get myself a Garmin to use with a power meter, but then I discovered you only need the Strava app for your phone to record rides. It tries to guess your power but I discard that data because without a power meter it has no way of knowing whether you were drafting or doing any work, or if you were with the wind or against it. Still plenty of data there to analyze though.

Just tried, but Strava doesn't make it easy for you to find stuff. Got a link?
