135, 134, 133: more miles

I have downloaded the free and easy to use Strava ap. This is a GPS device that, once you have turned it on and off correctly, records your rides in detail using waypoints and the like, thus providing the distance, average speed, top speed, elevation and calories burnt. It also provides the wattage (power) output of your ride, which means nothing to me at all. My first ride was for 24 feet in a time of 38 secs and at an average speed of 14.8 with a top speed of 14.8 and total elevation of 1.2 feet. My calories burnt were 4278 as I'd put in my weight as stone and not pounds. Strava sees no issue with a 208 stone rider. All in all I hadn't quite got the hang of it on my accidental 'first ride' - it turned itself on in my pocket - a hip ride, so to speak.

The weather is darned freezing and a wee bit snowy - Regents Park does look rather bleak:



But, despite the inclemency, I have managed 55 miles this week, at an average speed of 3.24 miles an hour, according to Strava.
