Would love a classic bike for recovery rides, not sure how it would go on some of my tempo/longer rides.
On my new bike the Di2 has done over 6000 without being touched, for me it's not about performance but trouble free cycling as I'm not very mechanical.
Only hiccup was when I went more than a week without charging and experienced a flat battery half way up Glorious and got stuck in the 11T on the rear.

Don't have to but I let it slip over the Christmas/New Year break, and I'd clocked up 1240 kms between charges which was 10 days earlier.Dr_Mutley wrote:U serious?

I've now got the battery added as a component in Strava so it won't happen again.

So that will be around 60kms today, somewhere between 30 to 60 on Saturday & I guess I better take the Raseza for a shake down tomorrow (just be 10 or so kms), next week I plan not to ride at all (if I can avoid it), so you blokes should all be well & truly past me when I go back to riding on the 18th.
Then you can all ride looking over your shoulders wondering if I'll catch you before the end of the year (I don't have any targets this year, I'm just riding when I feel & forever long I feel like, I'm having a 'gap' year).
Ok you mob, on ya bikes, get out there & take the lead whilst I'm sitting at home drinking beer or off down my mates drinking beer & hunting feral pests (no, not cyclists ya mob of dunces, cats, dogs, goats & pigs ).

Ahhh ok... I just didn't realize there was such a difference in power use between Ui2 and Di2... Granted I run an internal, 1200mah battery on my DA di2 (7970), but I'm still showing solid green after approx 5000+kms... I did an internal job on a mates ui2 so I'll have to see how far he got...Dimma wrote:Don't have to but I let it slip over the Christmas/New Year break, and I'd clocked up 1240 kms between charges which was 10 days earlier.Dr_Mutley wrote:U serious?

It's rated at approx 1000 kms per charge, but if you've fitted an after market internal battery then there's no point comparing?
Also we're getting off topic lol

It was hard to avoid the water and dodge the joggers this morning along there .jasonc wrote:only went half way along there but it looked ok to meDimma wrote:The water level looked like it had breached the banks (AT) QUT again this morning?
Under the freeway near the entry to the cycle centre there is large amounts of fine dust still all over the path...next time it rains it will be back to mud again

High tide at Boondall Wetlands was hilarious; three inches of water over the track...

It was difficult this morning, I had couch potato legs, didn't want to turn pedals or anything more serious than the trip to the fridge for another beverage, hopefully by Tuesday morning I'll have something a bit closer to a bicycle riders legs.

Not surprisingly I failed and only made 125km, aborting the hilliest 60km section by scooting downwards to a waiting train that whisked me homewards. I made a good decision as major cramps (not dehydration) set in after getting off the train and riding 5km home... I'll have another go this Sunday - perhaps a flatter ride this time!
