Well done !! hope you recovered ok

BTW. Sun was up early. We normally don’t see that kind of sunlight until after 5am here during the summers here in Texas. Great ride and thanks for making this

How many miles to that fish and chips shop from the time you started? I really love that just knocking on a door and she would come serve you after hours. It’s a beautiful thing.

You are a natural story teller. I love how you all waited for the last ones to come through to celebrate. Great stuff.

Was just wondering what colour tint you went for? They do brown, green or grey. I think brown sounds the best

What one's better and the original the red tyre glider or the blue rehook tyre glider?

The Pack, Struggle Together - Sorry, Stronger Together! LOL. Great video as always Bill.

Bill you are a fantastic film maker, you capture everything so beautifully. What an awesome testament to a great day. I’ll always be disappointed you didn’t finish with us, but I know there are plenty of adventures still to come. Thank you for this ❤

No kidding. My first time riding my mountain bike after years of not riding and two knee replacements was like riding on a trail for the first time. It didn’t help that my brakes were failing. 😩

Very true words. I am 77 and riding very happily and reasonably strongly now. But it took me seven months of carefully increased effort (starting on an indoor trainer) to get back from a hip replacement four years ago. Adding small increments and taking time to "smell the flowers" along the way is the key.

Did you have Covid during the same time span ?

How did your 14 days across France go with this saddle? Hope it went well. Are you still a C17 fan? Do you still ride with that same saddle?

I like the information, thanks.

Was this a complete re-spray done? Looks nice, and agree with chain catcher comment, they are cheap as well.

CBT do great work. Not expensive either. Also using a chain catcher is highly recommended in my opinion, especially on a carbon frame.

i also own a brooks c 17 ,it works for me ,, 73 year old cyclist

I maybe in the minority, but I hope not, but Zwift (given I ride on it at least 3 times a week as part of my Training Peaks training programme) is great value even after the price increase. I get from it exactly what I want (I don’t race or take part in Group Rides other than those organised by my Cycle Club or Training Group when the weather is not conducive for a Club Ride.). I’m an annual subscription and use it year round.

Inspirational ✊ Nice 360 work too.

What a great video,watched it this morning then again tonight .

I am too old for it to be considered Child Abuse!

Works on my 530 as well

Vote with your cash. I binned it, 18 quid is absurd. I will have to just to go outside like the olden days. Some of the biggest online games are half that price.

If you have a rim with a dip in the middle, so a smaller diameter, as your tyre tightens up on fit or removal make sure the bead is pushed into it. Makes life so much easier. Same with old motorbike tyres.

I tried but don’t see connect when I click on dropped pin. I have mail and other but not connect. How can I add it? Thanks

Brilliant! Also works to send to watches (my Fenix 7 showed up as an option!!)

Brilliant. Many thanks

I am riding FulGaz more and more lately. It can be a bit glitchy, but as a solo rider, the scenery and chance to ride all over the world is great. It also feels more real, I find myself moving on the bike in corners or going through dips like I would outdoors. I also like that it has some longer flat rides for recovery days. I swear if I ride Tempus Fugit one more time I’ll scream. I’ve hung onto Zwift, but I am starting to question why.

my ELITE trainer's software isn't "interactive" but I can do any plan and then watch a show....guess how much ELITE charges? $1.50 USD/month. Yeah, a buck fifty. I'm not paying an extra $17.50 to watch myself cycle in watopia.

The problem is that Zwift is no longer synonym for indoor cycling. For me, indoor cycling is worth 100+ $$ per winter month, but I don't need Zwift to push the pedals. With the main struggle of the competition being lack of user base, Zwift should have rather reduced the price to ensure maintaining the monopole. People finding an alternative are not coming back. I think. We'll see. Upping the price step by step would not have been better, I am afraid. People would scream: "Zwift increasing the price for the 10th time in 10 years?!?"

this price hike push me in to MyWoosh and so far look like it is actually better platform for training.

I don't use it that often and just do workouts on it so for me myWoosh has been employed and it offers me everything I need.

I've tried MyWhoosh and unless you're really into racing, it's basically a Zwift clone and is currently free. I only use Zwift when the weather is bad and it was hard to justify even the old price. I doubt I'll go back, maybe for a big event once a year, but that's it.

Used it tonight with Rene Hearse Fleecer Ridge tires - this tool is a dream!! Tire levers are a thing of the past. If you don't own one - don't even think about it - buy it!

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with your points in this video. Having been on Zwift since November 2017 I have never bothered to cancel my subscription during the summer months, allowing me to use it when the occasional day reminds us the British summer weather can represent all 4 seasons within 24 hours! So, for the first time I have paused my membership for the next few months which will easily compensate for the price increase and have now set up a free MyWhoosh account to cover for those rainy days. Admittedly, it lacks the interaction and visual quality and smoothness of Zwift but for the handful of days I will use it over the coming months it will suffice. It would be interesting to know, how many people like myself, had never bothered to pause their membership previously but are now doing so? Until now Zwift has cost me £156 per year but now, even if I only cancel for June,July, August & September I will only pay £144 per year. I don’t doubt that I will return to Zwift in the autumn and at the same time will have the added bonus of exploring any new roads and features that are due to roll out over the next few months. Win! Win!

Great vid. Price increase about the same as a coffee and Mars Bar. Worth it!

I still believe this is about getting users to move to annual memberships. A far more stable and predictable income stream.

Rouvy works out about £12 i think yearly - and there are group discounts for clubs etc. I much prefer it because it's actually HD video with other riders CGI'd on top. Worth looking at the free trial

As a low level racer not interested in racing bots, Zwift needs to develop content that keeps me locked in, and to prevent other platforms achieving user mass in racing fields.

Go to Rouvy !

Alozaina is one of the biggest and longest routes we have here in the area. In fact, the Vuelta a España ends there this year

Nice and tough route Bill,

Much climbing?

Hi, great video. I currently have the edge 1030. And considering upgrading to the non solar 1040. My main issue with the 1030 is that unlike my previous 520, it doesn't have the audible beep tones at the start of a strava segment, or when I reach my 10 mile laps etc. Does the 1040 have the audible beep tones that I miss? Many thanks

Coddiwomple what a great word!

All well and good if you can find a good club. My local club on myself and the wifes first visit they took the piss out of my wifes entry level bike and off we went, first main road they came to they raced across the road leaving the last third of the group stuck waiting for the traffic to clear didnt bother waiting just shot off at full speed wouldnt mind but half of them were riding e bikes!!. That was it the wife said no more im off home lol. So are club riding experience did not start well or end well!!.

Great video. I just ordered a 1040. I have a 204 mile event coming up. I have 2 questions. Re power guide. Does it take/accept a goal time and then adjust effort based on reaching that goal? And if the start of the ride, because it’s a bunch start and there are significant drafting advantages versus the end when at mile 150+ you are on your own, does it adjust power goals so that if the beginning of the ride is easy and you are ahead of your goal, it can adjust your power guide to still meet that time goal. Vice versa if you go real hard in the beginning and are overshooting the power goals, does it adjust down the remaining goals so you don’t bonk. I’m wondering if this is similar to the pacepro feature runners get on their Garmin watch.

And, how was the saddle? The Brooks Cambium?

How do you find navigation with Edge devices? I have a few concerns compared to phones. 1) maps are not detailed and colourful. When you zoom out you don't see what's around, whats a path or a hill as opposed to phone apps. 2) you cannot add a via point. You can click a point and make it a destination, fine but when you want to add a detour via another point, you have to finish that route and start a new one. I don't think it's that complicated. 3) having to fiddle with the orientation is also clumsy. It's wither North up or direction up. sure you can pinch and rotate but the whole thing is super slow. I have a Fenix 7 and i very badly want a dedicated head unit but I always end up using my phone. (yeah, it drains faster, less robust and weather proof)

Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. We love your Happy Spirit of adventure. Great cinematography and excellent presentation.

Bless ya Bill. Gonna miss these x
