Was it @slider_phil who also had minimal elevation?Tried to beat @Cardy George ’s record for least elevation gain.
I think 40m of that was the 2km back to the car, dammit.

It was…but his wahoo or whatever was reading wrong. I did the real like ride and clocked around 250m v his 15m (from memory.Was it @slider_phil who also had minimal elevation?
Yeah, I've been using Strava to use it's elevation profile to correct. But when doing actual elevation the wahoo seems to read correctly.It was…but his wahoo or whatever was reading wrong. I did the real like ride and clocked around 250m v his 15m (from memory.
I’m surprised I did 50 tonight, just riding around the edge of the lake.
Does it creak?Yeah, I've been using Strava to use it's elevation profile to correct. But when doing actual elevation the wahoo seems to read correctly.
Case in point I did the Odyssey again this year and it read 1200m, which is about what the course profile says.
I wouldn't be surprised it is accurate here, it's pretty fucking flat
Oh, and since I've been raised from my Rotorburn slumber. I should mention I have joined the dark side and bought a gravel bike. New job said they do a gravel race in May and would I be interested. So basically an excuse for n+1 for me.

Is the seatpost supposed to give some flex?
Yup. The world is ending if @Cardy George and @The Duckmeister remove their front derailleurs and add a dropper.Its a changed place around here

It certainly was a great arvo/evening for it!Fun arvo/evening/night ride at Youies tonight with @fjohn860. I was loving the cooler temps and slightly overcast conditions, just felt really good on the bike.
Took the short-travel bike tonight, but ended up riding Junction (both the upper and rocky sections), Lactic, Trav’s, Cressy, and then finished with another lap of Cressy under lights. Mint night out.

But how’s his butt?Showed @Jpez around, it's always a bit of a worry when I take someone new out there as the last 2 mates I took there hated it.. luckily the pez doesn't mind a pedal...did an extra lap after the tour with the handbrake off , good conditions still a bit of moisture in the ground and some water trickling over the falls.

What are we looking at there @Labcanary ?Pre-dawn ride with the munchkin.
We started out doing our usual loop but near the end he had me doing hill repeats.
