What is the biggest loop you can fit into your 5km radius?

[Let's Ride]

33km route, should I dare trying to run it is the question...

[Fork-it]

It may be interesting to share how far we can go while staying within the regulations.

 

I can do approximately 33km if I follow the roads closest to my 5km radius.   

 

How do you add that radius overlay on the map?

Just use the measure tool and find where the radius is. What I did.

Is everyone here sticking to the 5km radius? 

Too unfit to go any further. 

 

My ride takes me 26 km, 500 m elevation, with a choice of 5 trails to hit on my way back. Suppose I could add another 30 km if I wanted to ride on tar.

Yikes.

 

I was doing 2 hours a day on the rollers during the crackdown, so I'm doing a 60-90km loop these days. Furthest point is about 30km outside the 5km radius.

Checked my Flybys and this must be the biggest loop for sure:

You can run a full official marathon in 5km radius..

It seems like the person got on an indoor trainer from the 3 hour mark as the elevation and location doesn't change. The 5 km radius however is nowhere near being met...

You can use the below site to create a circle from your address to see what areas the circle covers:

 

just put in the address, radius required and then click new circle.

You can use this as well.

 

Drag to your address and then select 5km in toolbar

depends what you define by 5km radius?

Gatorskins or not getting the tire off is all about technique...

 

- move the bead to the centre of the rim all the way around the circumference of the tire - the rim has a smaller circumference in the centre.

- if the tire is really tight do this on both sides

- in most cases the tire is now loose enough to slide off by hand, or 1 tire lever in an extreme situation.

 

I actually did show him to de-bead both sides, get slack to one side, then use the tire lever ...

 

It did help. But we just could not get more than 100 to 150mm off .... trying to unclip the next section the first would clip back .....  maybe the tire, maybe the rim, but this combination was certainly not easy.

 

PS - used the exact same approach of debeading them removing when helping riders 

 

 

I did not want to damage the rim by "working" the lever sideways ..... 

 

 

Owner seemed more than happy at the prospect of walking home ....

Jip, but is there a single program that shows the radius AND allows one to map the route ?

 

 

I had the 5km screen on one side, and plotting in a different program ...

 

 

PS - the idea is to then export the route to Garmin. (I was plotting inside Garmin Connect software)

Did a 53km last Friday already when it opened and I stay inside the 5km RADIUS all the time. Did little extra in the middle closer to home and can easily do a 80 ish without reusing any tar

Lives in the complex next to mine. Not familiar with the name but if he can do 125kms during the exercise window then he is not in my league
