Keeping fit

I've got a hilly 10k race in Greenwich Park lined up for just before Christmas, because that'll be delightful.

 

It went well. :o Knocked a couple of minutes off my PB then stuffed myself with pork belly :naughty: at the pub afterwards. Merry bloody Christmas.

Can anyone recommend a simple app that will tell me how far I’ve cycled on my  spinner?  I don’t want 30 thousand different routines/gimmicks/fuckin hoopla, I just want to know how far I’ve gone in 30 mins or and hour... am thinking @wykikitoon will know of something? 🤔

Your spinner would need something attached to take speed, time or distance readings I would've thought?

Aye you'll need something that will count RPMs. You can get them for normal bikes - it's just a pair of magnets, one in a fixed position on the frame and the other on the wheel. Every time they pass one another it counts it and estimates distance from that.

Something like that would do it, you'd just need to work out where on your bike you could attach the magnets as obviously this is expecting to be fitted to a proper bike.
