Cycling facts that I did not know...

[Grease_Monkey]

expensive bikes and kit does not automatically increase skills

But red components do...

[Thor Buttox]

Unless you are Bear Grylls

Bare Grills was renamed Hooters. Best name change ever.

[MTBeer]

The corollary is of course true... if you havnt ridden the epic and the argoosh you are not a cyclist... or something along those lines

these are shimano snowboard boots.

 

they make a binding that is clip in like SPDs, called Clicker bindings, and were done with K2

Work way better than the ratchet ones in my opinion, but have never caught as the pros don't use them.

 

 

 

 

 

these are rubbish. They get full of snow and freeze and get stuck.

[It's me man]

Shimano make fishing kit, and have reels called Tiagra and Ultegra...

that's why an out of towner chirped that my freehub sounded like a fishing reel on the CTCT

Nino Shurter is a Pussy

 

 

 

 

NS admits to being a pussy...well a Camper Pussy, referring to the fact that he prefers to sleep in a camper van at Epic.

Bicycles may run on fat, but they most definitely do not save you money. They are in fact more expensive thatmn a cocaine habbit!

There are more bikes than people in the Netherlands, and the cities are planned to accommodate bikes rather than cars.

On a different note,I had my edge 500 for almost 4 years... And today I found out I can load waypoints on it and it is able to navigate through the waypoints.

I tried this:

I created my route in Strava, then I export it to Garmin Connect. I then edit the route by adding course points, for example 'Turn Left', etc.

(please see attach photo).

Then I send it to my device and ride. Worked very well to be honest for knowing when to turn right or left. Might be a hassle to add all the course points, but it definitely works for me.

In my case, I was given a gpx file with waypoints etc. I converted the gpx file to a tcx file and copied it to the New Courses (or some folder that starts with New) folder on my Garmin.

Then switch Garmin on. Go to training menu. Go to courses. Et voila.

 

I have also now converted my 100km route at home to a course on my Garmin and have copied that file to my pc so I can give it to my mate.

 

Seriously thought my Edge 500 was not capable of doing that...
