Have done Britwell before and it took me almost 6 minutes, compared to the under 2 1/2 that seems to be a previous winner's time. Okay, my attempt was 40 miles into a ride and maybe I wasn't giving it full beans (although my numbers on Strava do suggest I wasn't Zone 2-ing it either), but that's a healthy deficit!

It's one of those climbs that gets steepest at the top, then suddenly goes completely flat once you're past where the finish line would be.

Anyone else got an older Wahoo Elemnt Bolt (or Roam V1 or Elemnt V1) and suffered this software bug making the computer think it's January 2006! Not only has it gone back 20 years in time but the clock error leads to massive GPS glitches making it almost unusable.

I realised mine wasn't working properly on a ride on Sunday and as nothing appeared in my Strava feed after the ride I assumed it hadn't uploaded at all - until I found out about the issue via DC Rainmaker and lo and behold it HAD uploaded but it was quite hard to find as it was dated January 1st 2006! The route and elevation were very glitchy too as expected but I eventually managed to clean it up and sort out the route, elevation and date etc. using https://gpx.studio/ which is a great tool.

Pretty annoying! I've had my Bolt since 2018 so I guess it is getting on a bit now, but up until now it worked perfectly fine so I had no reason to think about changing it (and as we know they're not exactly cheap!)

Hopefully they will fix with a software update soon but just wondered if anyone else was affected?

My roam was flawless the last two weeks using Komoot routes and great rerouting the many times I got lost looking for coffee.
