I often leave the Garmin on the bike, outside in the shed. I also often forget to re-set it between rides, so a logged ride becomes two odd loops, as if I went out, came home, went out again. 3- I didn't brag about it? I have been working very hard, all year, to accumulate this lawn. I have not logged any retrospective rides. I often forget to log my yoga, then log 6 weeks in a row. I never knew that wasn't allowed? My log is mine and only a rough record of my activities so I can see how I am progressing. As weather deteriorates, there will be more walking and less cycling. As I rarely drive to a walk, I won't be adding much to the lawn until next Spring. I don't see why I have to defend myself for riding my bike with the added fun of badges, lawn expansion? It sure has helped me to go out there. I am actually quite upset. I have been subjected to similar from another Fetchie many years ago about my training volume at the time and it was the reason why I all but abandoned Fetch... In this case, I have made all my logging private. I may yet leave...
Velociraptor Oct 2021 9:02pm, 24 Oct 2021 54,618 posts	0 Velociraptor Goodness, I seem to have hit a nerve I remember your skirmish with another Fetchie who wanted more information than you were prepared to disclose about your time trialling, but I didn't realise you'd also your training volume challenged. I'm curious now. Was it the same person?
Hanneke Oct 2021 9:08pm, 24 Oct 2021 81,313 posts	0 Hanneke Yes, it was... I think it was a competitive/jealousy thing. I have never made my training public or used Strava. Coaches advice... I may not be as strong as I used to be, but I suspect my ability/aptitude for endurance will never go...

Hanneke Oct 2021 9:15pm, 24 Oct 2021 81,315 posts	0 Hanneke E-bike and Titanium race whippet. I converted my XC 29er into some kind of hybrid thing for road use. I have been seen at 45 km/hr down the Po Valley with full bike packing setup... E-bike is used when venturing off road a lot or when climbing a lot. That ride wasn't that steep for around here... There was a reason why I ventured up and down Valleys and along the Brecon/Monmouth canal I used to do.much much more... A long ride wasn't one without at least the Gospel Pass, Llangynidr Mountain AND the Bwlch in it... Those were the days!

Forrest Jooligan Nov 2021 7:21pm, 2 Nov 2021 165 posts	0 Forrest Jooligan Congratulations Hanneke & ITG. Even though your lawn-building has consistently reduced my ownership score Hanneke 😉 I could do with doing a decent ride to link my N.Devon lawn to my FoD/S.Wales one before the former expires completely. Not really the time of year for that kind of expedition though.
