Is this to hide the smell of the Pathia when you are on a night out? always liked this one and keep going back to it.
The new Boss Bottled Elixir scent is incredible also but stupid money at the min.

as long as i don't plough through the crate in a week
What if you pour a can into the empty glass bottle? Someone somewhere must have tested this for scienceAll drinks seem to taste better from a glass bottle, worked out to about £1.15 a bottle which i think is worth it, as long as i don't plough through the crate in a week
I'm sure some of you have missed it, so here's the wall and my latest purchase, a Hammerhead Karoo 3 cycle computer (Android based)
I decided to just use my phone.
Out of interest what makes a cycle computer better than a phone?
Can't answer for Andy, but battery life is a big factor. My phone dies pretty quick, whereas my Garmin Edge lasts >10hrs so suitable for long rides, especially when the screen is constantly on. I'm also not aware of any decent apps for displaying maps/data metrics for the phone (although i'm sure they exist)
Then you've got the factor of the screen and my Garmin is always readable in full sun/with polarised sunglasses which my phone isn't.
Ah yeah I take a small power bank for my phone. I generally like my phone as I have it anyway. And it's got a huge screen.
I use komoot app for my offline/off road maps.
I looked at cycle computer. But it was just too expensive when I have a phone.
Yeah, i can see the appeal of a phone, but for my it's handy to just have various sensors (power/gears/HR) synced to my Garmin, and it's just always ready to go, rather than worrying about phone dying etc. Then the phone stays in my pocket.
Yeah I use mine for a map. That's all I need. Otherwise I can get (and have got) very lost!.
Pool Robut turned up. Bigger than i expected. This one does the floor/walls/waterline, have another on the way which sits on the surface doing the skimming. Technology seems to be a few years behind vacuum robots. So it's moving forward quickly, although due to a pricing error this was a bargain.
Yeah, as said, the battery is a big factor, most rides are at least 4 hours, up to maybe 8 or 9 (Veloviewer tells me three times I've been out for over 10 hours) I think GPS navigating and streaming podcasts/audiobooks for 10 hours would kill most phones. I would also be worried about something killing the app and losing the ride...Yeah I use mine for a map. That's all I need. Otherwise I can get (and have got) very lost!.

What ride
If its not on Strava it never happened.
As some will know, I was cycling in the Alps last week and this year it lined up perfectly with the LeCol climb challenge, so I was curious if I would complete it in the one week. On the last day in the Alps, we climbed out of Morzine and after 5 mins I realised I hadn't started the ride
When I got home, I checked how much climbing I'd missed by creating a route for the missed 5 mins. Turns out it was 82m. Then, over to the LeCol challenge to see if I've completed it... guess what... 81m short
I added a manual event, but that didn't count for the challenge, which is fair enough. I mean, it's not a problem, I went out on the usual Sunday ride and completed it with almost 3 weeks to spare, I just thought it was kinda funnyHaha that’s brutal. Could you manually adjust in Strava?
