Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

apropos to all of the oil change talk, I have an oil change in an hour or so, synthetic, of course.

Hmm, well I signed up for an account but it seems like my Wahoo is having a hard time uploading activities correctly to Strava.

I spent an hour on the trainer last night but when it uploaded to Strava it only showed like 46 seconds of activity

Second time that's happened with an indoor workout.

PS if temps well below freezing (say in the 20's) I do best with glove liners inside mittens. If below 15F throw in a chemical hand warmer...or throw in the towel and ride the trainer
I have a glove liner mitten combo, I may give that a try to see if I can actually shift. My hands and feet get really cold in the 20s. My New Year’s Day ride I ended up with numb feet about 10 miles in and they never warmed up over the final 30 miles. Same with my hands.

Weird. And the Wahoo is set (or automatically changing) to Indoor?

I find that shifting with mittens and glove liners works ok but you have to modify the technique a bit. It requires a bit of a curl of the fingers and shift with the tip. If you don't use the technique you can't shift the inner lever without moving the outer/brake lever. That's for my setup with Shimano cable-activated shifters. It's likely less of an issue with electronic shifting.

Yeah, the oversized tubing on this is a little strange with all that triangulation going on.

Frankly it looks better in the MTB configuration, but still a little off. I can't decide if I like the double downtubes or not. I certainly liked it when Colnago did it.

Yep.

Looks like I can make it work if I grab the .fit file from the companion app and upload manually.

Kind of a pain, but it works.

Initially I though this was some one-off custom from Farr Frameworks, but no, there's also a company called Farr that does a lot of bikepacking & gravel stuff and this is one of their production frames

Looks a little more comfortable as a MTB:

Looks like Intervals grabbed the activity and parsed it correctly.

Edit: or is that what you were talking about? Did you upload to Intervals manually or to Strava manually? I still don't see it on Strava.

Yeah, I like that more as an MTB. For my personal use, I don't need/want drops for anything with tires fatter than 40mm-ish - I'd rather have the extra width/leverage and be able to keep my hands warm (the pogie-type things on drop bars just look... wrong).

I haven't connected Intervals to Strava yet. I uploaded the files manually.

I tried deleting the activity from Strava and re-uploading the .fit but I still got the same thing, just a 48s long activity. Strangely the kCal number came through fine

I had the activity private which is why you couldn't see it, it's public now though.

Huh. That's weird. The upload looks fine on your Wahoo account?

In my opinion, for winter jackets, you really can't do better than Gore Cycling. As far as I'm concerned, good cold weather cycling gloves don't exist.

I have Gore C5 tights and they’re great, much warmer than the Rapha thermal tights I have.

My LG jacket is good to about 30, I need something for the 10-30 range
