My Garmin is trying to kill me
With the failure of my Strava app last week, I decided to get a Garmin device. I was very generously bought one as a belated birthday present. I went with the Garmin Edge 25. It’s about the size of a 50 pence piece and attaches to the stem of your bike. The advantage of the 25 over the 20 is that it comes with Bluetooth, so can get it to sync with your phone rather than having to plug it into your usb port with the cable.

Being seen
When I made that decision that I was going to start to ride to work, my biggest concern was being seen.

2nd week of commuting
So the plan of cycling more than once this week didn't really work. Torrential rain on Tuesday and Wednesday did not inspire me to cycle to work.

Bristol
Achievement unlocked – 1st Commute to work
I planned Friday as my 1st commute into work, luckily the weather agreed. I was all dressed up with my new cycling tights and my very bright Provis jacket started my Strava app and I was off.

1st Road Bike Challenge
So I have signed up for the medium distance of 50km on the 2nd April, an added benefit is that it is for a really good cause, St Peters Hospice.
