Weather isn't looking good. Will decide on Thursday. Not too bothered if I don't do it. Not even sure I have 160kms in me.Mugglechops wrote:Singlespeed MTB will give you some interval trainingnorbs wrote:'tis very quiet in here.

What's your plan for the 160km ride this weekend? I am thinking very early start Saturday morning and riding up to Thirroul again.

That's changed a heap since I read it this morning! You missed the bit about the possible thunderstorms and the wind turning around to a NE later on, probably just in time for the return leg.grantw wrote:I've just been looking at the forecast for saturday as part of my due dilligence. The Illawarra and Shoalhaven are promising Rain and windy - to the tune of a 50kph southerly. My 400km failure excuses are starting already

With out trying to sound like one of those "special people" on the bike gallery thread, it looks like your front tyre might be mounted wrong way around. Rubino's are directional so just find the rotation arrow (hard to see as it's just raised rubber)

As a bit of an update on me, Feb has been a fairly quiet month. Was hoping to get some more video sorted and uploaded of the Berry Mountain ride and also a bit of the local singletrack but alas my computer has had other ideas with windows becoming corrupt and unbootable and the recovery USB stick I made when I got the computer proving difficult to find. Looks like I may need to contact Dell support.

You read my mind, while looking down on the tyre the other day it crossed my mind it might be on backwards, I'll have a look for that arrow.
Got a ride in today with the bunch, after 7 days off, everything hurts!!!

I have hardly ridden in the last 3 weeks due to personal issues and I have a 140km ride coming up on Sunday
Nervous just does not seem a strong enough word

Nowra is the same at the moment.breezer1 wrote:newcastle weather one minute its lovely and warm then two seconds later its raining, was lucky today got a ride in without too much weather changes, then this afternoon it rained then sun then rain, wished it would make up its mind
Hope Saturdays 80mm of rain doesn't happen.
I am still going to attempt that 160km Strava challenge anyway.

You proved that wrongnorbs wrote:
Not even sure I have 160kms in me.
I don't think I will be riding tomorrow. Might concentrate on the 15 hr challenge from Monday.
2 more weeks then it's op number 2 for the year.
I will be pinless and plateless and my bicep tendon will be getting relocated.
I just hope it doesn't keep me off the bike too long.

With the 400 being cancelled I've come to the same decision. You free next Friday to do a bit of a recon ride for the Tour de SCUM? I've got an RDO so am thinking heading down that way and having some fun on the 29er would be a good option for knocking a few hours off the challenge.Mugglechops wrote:I don't think I will be riding tomorrow.

I should be but will be weather dependent. Plus I don't finish work till around 1 or 2am in the morning so it won't be an early start.

A question for you Garmin and Strava Guru's.
I ride a 50 odd km course regularly and notice that my altitude reading on Strava has a ? beside it indicating there is a problem.
The Strava output is 231m but when corrected is 170m although another rider has a 304m (no ?) for nearly an identical course plotted on Strava.
I also downloaded to Garmin Connect and the correction disabled reading was 231m but on applying correction it jumped to 567m
What am I to believe?

Sounds like the weather is pretty ordinary up your way. Hope you had some cold beer in the fridge

yeah I tried that today too. From 2485m 3.3km! I'll take it but I'm not convinced. Might try Garmin connect too just for interest. The Edge 800 was at least a bit under as I started off from home 10m high and hit Sky High on top of the Dandenongs 50m low.grt046 wrote:Good one norbs .... knew you had it in you.
