    :D:D:D

    2 reasons:

    1. The G500 has let me down occasionally showing 'No new activities' when I go to upload a ride. Bit of a bummer especially after a long ride - I 'lost' a 200km ride recently :( and on another ride with 2,900 metres of climbing the 500 showed nothing afterwards but thankfully I had the 200 that day also. :) So I sometimes use the 200 as a back up especially when abroad.

    2. The G500 just gives current elevation whereas the 200 gives accumulated elevation during the ride - handy when in mountainous terrain. Perhaps the 500 can also be tweaked to give this but I can't be arsed finding out.

    Totally. Out for a spin this evening with none, because mine is moonlighting as a fridge thermometer. True story. No cyclist should have two odos while some have none!

    More jealous of the location, mind you...

    A few from yesterday up Jebel Akhdar, it nearly killed me. It was my first big spin (2hrs and steep is huge for me) in 9 months. Lack of O2 and major headache were more of an issue then newly sewn together tendons. I have a pic of me and the bike however with the bib showing through the top I look more like Geoff Capes than a cyclist.

    Oman is the one Arabian Peninsula country that really pull me as a holiday/cycling destination. Would be keen to see more photos and here more of your experience.

    Remove the tags from around the tags. There's an opening () and closing tag ([/URL]) for both links.

    Cheers, I was panicking someone saw the picture of me sucking in the tummy and failing.

    Straatvark, it's a grand spot for cycling in winter. Allot of long climbs with beautiful scenery. I was up there at the weekend with a capetonian

    Not great weather for the first major climb on our Hospice trip from San Sebastián to Barcelona. This is at the monastery of St Miguel at the top of El Hachueta, a climb that has featured in the Vuelta a few times.

    The current trusty steed in front of Mallos de Riglos between Pamplona and Huesca in Northern Spain. A tough day of 176k with over 2000m of climbing.

    Hey xxyyzz, is it possible to cycle much of the Dingle Way ?

    I did a quick google for cycling the dingle way and, as usual, get pointed to some crappy tourism sites that give details of bike hire shops rather than route details.

    I'll be down that way early Sept and thinking of bringing a bike with me. Original plan was road bike and to do a loop by road but would be interested in an MTB option. Will be based in Dingle so thinking of Dingle to Cloghane loop on MTB. I'm guessing worse case you are never far from a R or L road if you hit a section that is not passable by bike.

    Will be getting train into Tralee so will do the Tralee - Camp - Anascaul - Dingle leg on the Friday as per http://www.dingleway.com/trail-maps/index.php


    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    Dunno much about that section. I just did from Tonevane to Curraheen. It was fun but parts of it are extremely rough and I had to push for long sections.

    If you're in that part of the world there's a good loop starting at Annascaul lake. There's a steep trail that goes up above the lake and over the mountain. There's a narrow descent down into the Glenahoo valley on the north side of the mountains. If you're feeling frisky :D you can pedal back up the Connor pass and there's an offroad descent back down into Dingle. There's a thread on it here, but ignore the map as its for a different route altogether.

    Make sure you do it after a dry spell as it can get quite boggy up there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,863 ✭✭✭✭crosstownk


    Not my usual steed or route but something different. A family spin on a leisurely 7.5km around Toronto Island. I hate to have to use one of these regularly!! Good fun all the same.

    smacl - is that route doable on a road bike (23mm tyres?)


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 15,778 Mod ✭✭✭✭smacl

    Doable if its been dry like today, but maybe not so comfortable. Lots of coarse gravel and a few rutted sections, so you'd want a robust tyre. I'd say 25mm or 28 if you can fit them would make for a nicer day. I covered a fair amount of unpaved boreens and fire roads in Kerry a couple of weeks ago on the road bike and was surprised how well it stood up, using 25mm Durano plus which seem to take undue abuse no problem. Main thing I noticed today was the SPDs with cages on my hybrid (M424s) are nicer to cycle on bad surfaces than the cageless M520s on my road bike. Shoes you can walk in to navigate the gates also make life easier.

    Thanks. I might give it a shot in the single speed which has 25mm and SPD's.
