The annoying creaking sound yesterday, it wasn't one of your fellow riders was it ?

It could have been Qwerty or Bopo's knees :roll:

Budget? Second hand or new? Frameset or complete bike?

I was extremely impressed with both you and bopo yesterday. Nearly 800m of climbing overall and you took plenty of turns at the front. Good effort.

You have nothing to fear about TT's, you will be way above average.

I'm sorry? Did you and Paul do a couple of reps of the north face of The Eiger when you went ahead after the second stop? I made it half that!

Oh, interesting. I take that back then. Sporttracks (USGS corrected) - 490m, Endomondo - 497m, Trainingpeaks 651m, Strava - 853m, raw data (Barometer) - 813m. 43% difference in reported elevation change.

Rightly or wrongly I always use strava for elevation purposes.
