Merry christmas ! What was your christmas day ride?

[Bhitucyclist]

I tried one of those and they drive me mad. Boring and noisy.

Which one do u have ? I am thinking of getting a peloton

Probably get punctures, or they’ll look worn (my Gatorskins were visibly worn but no punctures).
How many miles have they done?

So you used gatorskins - what is your exp of using them ?

It was near the perfect day here for a long cycle. A strong cold wind but clear, bright and above freezing. Unfortunately I never had time for a long ride or at first the legs for a long ride after a virtual 9000ft in 55miles yesterday, so I went for a short spin to the east taking advantage of the lighter traffic to ignore a stop/start cycle path to cycle up Clocklunie Road. It is a decent path but it more enjoyable if you don't lose momentum . It was what the legs ordered and they felt good after being blown along Aberdour Road at 25mph for little or no effort.

How do u get the wind report in strava ? Do you have a paid account ?

Fine, they were on my bike for maybe 5000 miles (25mm), they wore out and have been replaced with the Michelins which I had already. Gators are certainly slow rolling in comparison though.
I like Vittoria tyres, like the Rubino pro. I don’t really overthink it, I buy what’s on offer. I have a number of bikes so wearing out tyres isn’t a regular occurrence!

Quick half hour local ride at 0815. More dog walkers than cars

I wouldn’t waste your money on one, get a smart trainer and Zwift if you want interactivity and use your existing bike. I much prefer cycling outside so although I have a dumb trainer, I only use it when injured or post op

How was your ride ?

Non existent. I don't ride over the Christmas period.

Last time I took my bike out was mid September. For me it's turbo trainer season from September to March.

Can't remember how to do it, but its just a case of activating Klimat on a Strava free a/c

No idea I am afraid and it is buried deep in a shed where I am not going to even try to look. Sorry no help.

Looks like a great road for cycling

It is but its usually full of cars, which wasn't too problematic until they built the cycle path. As path's go though it's quite a good one and connect Dalgety Bay to Dunfermline (almost).
