I think lots of us have done/attempted it without even touching Strava

Re: Rapha 500
I refused to take part as it requires you to subscribe to Strava, which I have no intention of doing!

Re: Suspicious bicycle sale on Facebook Marketplace
Facebook market place is rife with scammers. Never pay a deposit to reserve anything. I keep reporting the scammers to market place but they take no action!

Re: European warm weather destination road cycling
As Mallorca is an island the weather can be very ify before end of April/May.
Costa Blanca (Benidorm, Albir, Altea) has better settled weather. Cheap flights, good hotels and excellent traffic free roads. Tui and Jet 2 are the go to holiday companies

Re: Best way to get a 1:1 ratio
I've had the same problem . I was looking to buy the new Canyon Endurace Di2 12 speed, but it only comes with a 52/36 chain set which is much too high for me even with a 34 T cassette. I had thought of replacing the chain set with a 50/34 ( Canyon wont budge on their spec). The problem is will the Di2 recognise the change in gear ratios and as well the chain set supplied has power meter built in which I would loose if I changed the set up!

Insurance for touring
Can anyone help me or point me to a relevant thread
I have just discovered that my travel insurance does not cover me for touring or cycling holidays with the club.
I am aged 74 and have a 10 day trip touring Portugal in September and a weeks cycling holiday with the club in Majorca in October.
I have checked a few companies some exclude touring and, (thinking of next year only admit up to the age of 75)
Can anyone recommend a company that will cover me for cycling and touring in Europe for a reasonable premium?

Re: York Rally 2023: 23-25 June
Yes an excellent weekend. My first time there. The rides were through some beautiful country side well thought out and led by local groups. Weather was very kind, beer a bit iffy but only a short ride to Wetherspoon.

Re: FTP - absolute value and per kilo
400 Watts FTP nearly puts you in the realm of a Cat 1/ pro rider. To hold 400 Watts for an hour.... Chapeau!

I've done Pisa through Tuscany to Elba and back along the coast to Pisa. Pm me if the route is of any interest to you.

Re: Winter Training Spain
+ 1 For Benidorm. Easy to get to. Good cheap accommodation and excellent winter climate. (Remco is out there riding at the moment.) You can easily find a group to ride with or just do your own thing.. Once you get off the coastal N332 the roads are empty.
