What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[Art Vanderlay]

Mine's working, but I have to manually sync every ride between head unit and phone, where it used to do that automatically. After that Connect shares with Strava with no issues

I still get this on app

Hmmm, maybe it's an activity tracker thing, mine is purely for bikes.

This might help clear things up

Mine still has that orange message but as @Minlak said it still uploads if you click the sync button.

This whole burbing thing literally looks like the most boring riding ever. I thought it was just a thing people in lockdown were doing to stay in their areas? and yet here you are in the freedom of regional victoria riding the streets like you're working for googlemaps. At least those drivers get paid.

I was tempted to do my suburb, but then calculated the perimeter was 30km alone, and doing the whole lot was going to be 100's of KMs of suburban cul-de-sacs and lost interest.

Not me, but sounds like someone's doing a bit of kiwi style trail building.

Melbourne earthquake felt by hundreds of people across the eastern suburbs

People across Melbourne's eastern suburbs report shaking, rumbling, and a loud "sonic boom" noise after a Magnitude 2.2 earthquake near Pakenham.

LIGHTS MEGATHREAD - all questions on riding lights asked and answered here!!!

What's the best way to mount a light to a Fox Proframe? Cleansing Duo comes with a clunky velcro thing which I'll probably replace with a GoPro style mount, but the helmet has a ridge running along it that makes it awkward. What's the best way to get around that? Is this roughly the best...

harden up, ive got a fixed gear you can borrow for extra cool factor, also saves weight as no brakes

I suppose that covers the boredom issue too

 

[Minlak]

Added cable rub and down tube protection decided that’s all I’m going to do - trimmed bars - positioned levers - actually sat on it to set sag - will even ride it one day

2nd night ride last night.

Thankfully there was a trail group and an enduro group so was on tracks better suited to where I'm at at the moment. First time with a helmet light which made a world of difference.

2 hours of pretty solid riding and I was completely cooked, hardly any part of my body that wasn't cramping. Hooefully it doesn't take me too long to build some fitness as it's an absolute suffer fest for me on the bike at the moment.

There are these two kids that have lately been at Stromlo the same time as I have. I reckon they are 11 and 14. The older one is ridicuously fast, he just doesn't seem to tire and weighing so little can just fly up the climbs. Yesterday the younger one passed me too. FML.

I know I'm fat and slow, and these kids are really great riders, but its kinda demoralising haha

I'm in the same boat. There's always kids flying by me as I'm plodding my way up (or down) runs and they seem to do doing effortlessly. It's worse when they've got a better bike than you do!

Then I remember that most people ride better than I do, but I'm having fun anyway (then I crash on an easy feature...).

Man i'll be grinding up a fireroad puffing and panting and some 15 year old will cruise past me on the back wheel with a cheeky 'hello!'. Happened twice now. He's not so good on the techy downs though. Im holding on to that. For now..
I also drive to the trail and regulary pass him riding up there on the road.. tried riding there once and didn't have any steam left. All up hill about 15 k's from home. Im going to tackle the ride from home again this afternoon.

Time to confess, that's really why you bought the pro frame isn't it?

Commuting home one night, fat old and slow up a hill, two kids passed me doing a wheelie, smart arses. Good on them I say tho.

Not being all that old myself, it still amazes me just how fast some of the younger (U15) riders are. There's one or two in the local area that absolutely obliterate almost everyone up the climbs, i'll be chugging along at a fair pace and one of them will still fly past at twice the speed.

Great encouragement to "git good" and push myself though.
