Tried tubeless on the long distance bike too, but that was just a mess. Didn't want to seal at these pressures, plugs ripped out again... No thanks. And I know how to do tubeless apparently, because on my MTB, I'm happy with it.

Butyl is slightly worse for riding quality, but it's boring. It is reliable and easy to patch. Which is what I need for rides that last the full day.

(I carry one TPU inner tube on both my MTB and my Gravel bike as a spare.)

Aaaand I'm officially done with TPU inner tubes. Butyl is where it's at.

Tried them out last year, ripped them out again because I had more punctures than with butyl, and either had real trouble finding the holes for patching them, or had holes that were basically unpatchable. Tried them out again this year, again unable to find the holes, and ripped the valve stem off when trying to pump it up to limp home.

Yay.

Hei miähän nukuin 12 tunnin unet, no okei, olin 1,5 tuntia hereillä siinä keskellä, kun puoliso tuli himaan puutarhajuhlista. Sitä se pyöräily teettää, väsymystä.

Ajettiin siis Pirkan pyöräilyn yöpyöräily @feuer kanssa , ja lähdettiin @rikutahtinen kanssa siitä pienen ruokatauon jälkeen fillaroimaan kohti kotia. Olipa hyvä reissu. Nähtiin lehmiä, hevosia, pesukarhu, pupuja, hienoja maisemia auringonlaskun ja -nousun aikana, KUUMAILMAPALLO ja tietty paljon muita pyöräilijöitä. Wandreriin tuli 280jajotain uutta kilometriä, ja tietty uusia pyöräilytarinoita kerrottavaksi.

Minneköhän sitä seuraavaksi lähtisi fillaroimaan 🤔 Saimaan suuntaan? Ehkä. Nyt voisi jatkaa varustehuoltoa, illalla ei 40 tunnin valvomisen jälkeen jaksanut muuta kuin pestä koneellisen läpimärkiä pyöräilyvaatteita ja itsensä. Jep, reitillemme osui parin tunnin ajaksi eilinen myräkkä. Satoi yllättävän paljon vettä lyhyessä ajassa 😀

In my current obsession with cycling longer and longer distances, I'm also fiddling around a lot with subtle little differences in my bike fit. Recently I discovered the angle of my brifters, through this german (sorry) YouTube (sorry) video:

I now have turned my brifters in just the tiniest bit, and suddenly, the slight tingly discomfort in my left hand, that I couldn't get rid of, is now completely gone. Just like that. 🤯

Ja, ich weiß, es ist gegen das "Gesetz", aber ich fahre auch 200km am Stück mit Flatpedalen und habe meine Gründe.

Leider wird es immer schwieriger Schuhe zu finden, die:

• keine Cleat-Aufnahme haben
• kein BOA, keine Schnallen
• dafür aber eine möglichst harte/stabile Sohle besitzen

Irgendwelche Tipps oder Geheimtipps? 👀

Currently training to bike a distance of 200 km, and building up my distance for it. I rode 160 km last year as my longest distance, but I'm surprised again by how much extra chores it is riding those distances.

There's more bike maintenance to do because of the high mileage. Routes to plan, including making a plan for resupplying on water and snacks. Setting your kit out and cleaning it again afterwards. Eating enough and the right things.

Loopsiinhan sitä piti palata, että sai pidempää videota fedieetteriin.

But also a sad note to this: When I import one of those annotated GPX files into Garmin via Connect, it only picks up the route points that are right on the course, not those with a little distance.

I also can't manually add a course point in the Connect web app that is not directly on the course.

If anyone is aware of a workaround, that would be great 🙂

I found a lovely tool for planning long-distance cycling or walking routes, where you need to resupply along the route:

https://onroutemap.de/en/

You upload your GPX route, set a distance you're willing to go from it, and get a map with gas stations, supermarkets, cafes, bakeries, etc. on it as POI. You can then select favorites, and export them as GPX again, to use when riding or walking.
