Training objective: this was supposed to have been another 60-minute, hard effort (70-80 rpm cadence) hill-climbing session, but I had a chance for a ride with the guys. And surprise, surprise, we still got a few hills in... :) I still tried to keep the cadence around 70-80, but at times I had had to up it to slow down the pace - and I doubled back and stopped few times to wait for the others. Garmin failed for the 1st two km's. It was showing I was in the middle of a ride and had already done 49,000 km's... that's happened a few times now. And because there is so much data, it takes forever to delete the ride and restart, so I had to reset the device, which also takes longer than it should. Finally managed to get it going by the time we were at the top of the Sandhoogte hill. I figure there should be a special Strava badge for gadget fiddling while riding uphill at the same time.... Still got a few more PR's even if it was a group ride - one of the other guys is about my age and did the Attakwas last year and is doing it again in January - we were pretty similar in pace which was great.
