@keithrussell23c What you set for yourself is down to you. I just feel that using a segments leaderboard is inappropriate to personal devt.

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Personal pb's should be celebrated as I've mentioned to you before! As long as it's not at the expense of another.

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Personal pb's are quite another matter!!! I mean comparing yourself to others on so many anomalies, not yourself.

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Why someone would want to base their ability on such parameters is beyond me! Power,HR & speed are the only true indicators

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Segments also cannot differentiate wind speed & other conditions. Which makes any performance result wildly inaccurate!

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c If I'm 6th on a half mile segment during a half hour effort, then the standard ain't that high. That's all I have to say! 👎

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Segments are totally lost on me bud! I really don't understand why someone would want to admit to setting a record on 1km.

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

Just taken a look at segments from today's route with @keithrussell23c I can understand setting a 5 or 10km segment, but not less than 1km!

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

I upload my rides to Garmin Connect just to keep a personal record of my cycling activity. Not to set less than 1km willy wag segments!!!

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c You're on! 👍

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Full Discovery Channel '05 kit will be worn on my next solo ride. That'll €$ck the faux's off! 😂 Trek Astana kit to follow😁

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c It's pretty clear to me that we've both pushed ourselves too hard in previous years. Less is more! 👍 Chapter 3 is a godsend

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Overall less obsessiveness all around! Chapter 3 is now proven to give you performance gains too. Liking those apples!

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c That's the one bud. 👍

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

Just had to stop & get a snap of these lovely flowers this afternoon! Whilst the horse riders wondered.#nottheditch

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Yup, I'm actually shocked at the peak & average power!😯 In fact it's the highest power output I've "ever" held on the flat!

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Indeed, I am over that blip! #doingmyownthing #longlivechapter3 ✊

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

@keithrussell23c Aereon lightweight wind proof packable gilet.

[Wingnutonwheels @Wingnut2wheels]

Laid down numbers today that I haven't hit in years.Proof that you can still remain conditioned as a chapter 3 cyclist. A welcome bonus!🚴😀❤️
