Tour inspired take two (Stava)

Yesterday I talked about how as a small boy I was inspired watching Le Tour on the telly. Forty years on and nothing has changed, Le tour on the telly and I'm out on be bike pretending to race Cadel Evans  and rip it up in the Alps.

Technology has however moved on, Top tip for today is the Stava App. I use it on an iPhone but it can be used with different hardware. What's great about it is that you can have segments of a ride and it will time them each time so you can compare your performance each time you do that segment.

and

It also tells you how others are doing on those segments, who's beating you and who your beating. Loadsa fun - you can, if you want to, turn every ride into a race!
