anyone on here cycle/mountainbike?
Turbo Mini Forums

That's some mileage! How are you guys monitoring your rides? Strava?

Strava and Garmin Connect in case one of them loses the data.

I pay for the Strava Premium service. Lots of useful data to analyse

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Strava here to, although I also use garmin, endomondo and ride with GPS,

each one seems to offer some funtionality the others dont.

Anyone cycle around suffolk / ipswich area? Off road

BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races!

not been up that way, but I'd imagine Rendlesham forest??

or down past chelmsford theres Danbury woods, theres hills and MTB tracks there.

while I'm posting here....

Ive just invested in one of these for my "touring" bike... a fairly impressive bit of engineering.

I found myself getting an itch for a sorted full susser trail bike after riding my Onone. So after a good few test rides I bit the bullet...




Only had it a week but it's abit of a machine. Racked up 22 miles at Cannock on it today and it handled everything in its stride beautifully. It might be outdated, heavy, built by a fat lad in a tin pot shed up't north, but a mate of mine on a Mondraker couldn't get close earlier :)

Fitted a blackspire twinty chain guide earlier and bashring as it'll only ever be a trail bike so the 42 isn't needed..



Next up is a dropper post pennies permitting.

Have you won the lottery ???

I'm well ahead of target, currently at 1750 miles since the new year. Expect to top 4k by Xmas.

Here's something I penned about a trip to Norfolk.

Year to date:
655 miles
30,928ft climbed

I need to get into more of a cycle to work habit, I.e get my ass out of bed earlier

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

[quote=fab,8th Oct, 2010]fuck off

need to stop slacking,

1013 miles
30,069 climbed

Nice bit of kit Joe, I have a nexus 8 and loving it in my city bike and loving it, wish I could afford a rohloff. Enjoy it

Only 300 miles, but 20,500ft of climb in that.

Apparently 63,297ft of climbing

good going, been seeking the hills eh!

Can't get away from the blighters.

As Laura Trott said about Northants the other week "It's not flat, it's rolling". You just don't find much flat road, it's either going up or down.

Good training for Mt Ventoux next summer. 13 miles at 7.5%

It's mostly original fit flow trail 08, with an s&m seat, an aftermarket 25t sprocket and an odyssey hazard lite rim on the rear. It's a real step backwards from my old bikes but for what little use this gets now I'm happy with it!

That's a nice setup! :) My old custom was 89 flame red to match my mini haha!
