7:05 start? We're 2mins before you 😉 Don't forget to factor neutral zones in when setting your average speed (unless you're planning on doing a 4:30? )

After a year of doing the whole “gravel bike with 2 wheelsets” vibe, finally got a road frame. Elves Falath Evo in Lake blue & Nebula 😎

Having ridden both the Byway and Spez Pathfinder, which has a very similar tread profile, I found the Pathfinder to be far superior to the WTB. Fast on the tar, grippy in the corners, very few flats.

Let the banter begin 😉

It seems the "Search" portion of Ad filtering is only searching within Ad titles, is that new? I could have sworn it used to search within the ad text too. Eg: I type in "power" and only get back ads where "power" in the title, not in the text (where it may mention that the bike has a PM)

No, we were the Pure Savage mixed team, were on the front pretty much from the gun. There was a bit of shuffling up to the base of Hels, and a little on the descent, but after that we just rotated 7 on the front the rest of the way (until I blew up quick spectacularly at 130k, and then they rotated 6 for the rest 😆)

Ah, ok Also started in D, our team was on the front pretty much the whole way, but thought we were relatively well behaved (at least, I heard no complaints from the 20 or so "passengers" enjoying the free ride 😆)

Which wave were you in?

Woah, did not see that coming https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/10/trainingpeaks-acquires-indievelo.html To answer the question that immediately springs to mind: So it's still free, for now...

I have them on my gravel bike They're not light, but have taken a ton of abuse (including a chain drop that ripped a chunk of metal out of one of the crank arms) and still work well. No complaints.

Matt finishes 2nd overall in the Lifetime Grand Prix with a sprint finish over Payson at Big Sugar yesterday 💪
