    Formula 1...

    A lot of media around this. And looks to be true considering the delay in naming the driver of the day. Should be interesting if it’s tried again this weekend, and now with it being known F1 might not be able to conceal it.
  2. It does have to be a iPhone to report location. However if in “lost mode” any phone can “tap” the tag and get taken to a webpage that the owner can leave a message on. “Like if found, please call me on xxx” etc.
  3. I played golf this past Monday here in Dubai and two blokes in the four ball were New Zealander’s. Top chaps I tell you, if the majority of the nation are like these fellas you all are very lucky. I work with a couple Kiwi’s too, also awesome personalities.
  4. I hear you. And agree that when mixing bike and eBike there is a more complicated dynamic that needs to be taken care of. I’m not experienced at this situation on MTB’s as only been on Road bikes in my examples above so might be easier to manage and the new eBikes on the road roll quite nicely with motor off (the ones I have been with). Enjoy your bike ones it returns!
  5. You can go with zero assist and sweat as much as you like.... ? We have a chap who rides with us, he's got motor off for the first 90min or so and then as he starts to fade he dials in some help. Some days more than others, but he's always with the group. There used to be another guy we rode with, he used to ride to the start point with assistance. Ride with us with motor off and then ride back home at max assist.
  6. Buy an entry level garmin, plug it in and forget about it. Until that one day I hope never comes and you need the footage and you are rest assured that it has been recorded and in focus. Trust me on this, recording for "fun and entertainment" is one thing and worth a hassle. Dashcam footage which is typically for more serious situations you don't want to play around with. Not saying it has to be a Garmin.... Just a well supported, reliable device that has a good track record. I have the most basic garmin units in both my cars. They out of site and out of mind. But when I've wanted some footage, they have always been perfect. Good luck with your purchase.
  7. https://youtu.be/vjLbxywixro Great video if you thinking about using one to track your bike. GPLama spot on as always.
  8. Wife with her new Creo. Went out riding this morning. I rode in the zones I wanted and she adjusted as needed to get the workout she wanted. Game changing I promise you.
  9. Just bought my wife one. Unbelievably good!!

    Arm Pump has ended or at least severely limited many a career. Even more so in the Motocross side of things. And surgery is a bit of a hit/miss as far as relief goes.

    Arm Pump. (From the man himself)

    MM93 pushing hard and has been down. Seems he’s ok. Actually wondering if this will actually boost his confidence, knowing he can go over the limit and get away with it.

    I think he needs a little for “race distance” in him. He looked shattered after that last race. And if he’s pushing at 98% we all know that the extra 2% comes with a lot more effort.

    Lando actually said in an interview after the race it was his knee pad that was hitting the paddle. Explains why he didn’t feel it through his gloves. But yeah, what an awesome moment of racing chaos crossing road with technology trickery. I remember even back in my racing days, did a test in a Zetec Formula Ford, got back to the pits, said I was flat box through turn one and a little prick on a laptop said, “no, you were off the throttle for 0.5 sec and then at 70% for the following 0.6 sec before going back to 100%”. My ego was shattered!

  16. Maybe. But they will cost about 10 times less. I’m pretty sure that by the time SRAM release their 2022 XX1 cassette you’ll be able to pick up a full carbon MTB for around the same price.
  17. Watched the first episode today. I’m looking forward to the next 9 !!
  18. Waiting for my Valet, I realized the cars I drive will always be parked out back and not in the front. But I do love the Corolla holding its own down there at the end. [emoji1787]
  19. Looks like Conor is still here in Dubai. From what I’ve seen on his social media. Surprised he’s not back home training, although might be the COVID lockdown rules back in Ireland not being good.

    9 months off the bike. 0.2sec off the pace. What a Champ.
  21. Looks like you half way in a barrel roll.

    Might have to take a few shots against a green screen just to be safe.

    And the Russian needs to 1. Complete a session without a spin 2. Make it past the 4th corner in a race.
  24. Not correct. 125 people in total of which 5 were cyclists.
  25. Yeah, bike thefts. Not, shot, stabbed and mugged while riding the damn thing..... For me personally, that makes it different. But hey, we all tell ourselves a story to sleep at night.
