• Visiting in January, suggestions appreciated

  When I travel, I look at eater.com for food recs, alltrails.com for hiking recs and google maps for anything not covered by those aggregators. This works out most of the time, and certainly provides higher-quality responses than random people on reddit. Source: 5 months ago

• Anyone else feel like they’re losing their minds watching what’s happening in Gaza?

  That is, after a shift at the shelter and a short hike! Alltrails has great stuff, idk where you are but it's got stuff in so many places lol. Source: 7 months ago

• Good places for hiking around northern Chicago suburbs?

  Not a specific destination answer, but I recommend checking out AllTrails. I like the details it provides. The reviews seem fair and the app is great. Source: 10 months ago

• Shaded walking trails

  How long of a hike/walk? Bridle Trails is fantastic. Trilogy area of Redmond (Redmond Ridge) also has a ton of trails. I highly recommend the alltrails.com app or site. You can search by easy/moderate/hard and distance and using the map zoom into a specific area. Source: 10 months ago

• 27] Female solo traveller to Montana

  OH and use alltrails.com to look up trails you're interested in and see the latest conditions. If I were you, and people are saying there's an active bear on a trail I would avoid it since you are alone. You'll find some trails people mention not great visibility around some corners or due to huckleberry bushes...I'd avoid those too on your own. Bears might be into huckleberry when you get there and the last thing... Source: 10 months ago

• F’ck headwinds

  I’ve been using MyWindsock which handily adds a weather report including wind data, into my Strava activity reports so I k ow I’m not just being soft. That said having my power meter let me know my effort hasn’t dropped is handy as well. Source: 11 months ago

  Mywindsock.com ( for weather forecast, wind direction) $. Source: 12 months ago

• Brompton pump dislodged mid-ride on a windy first 50k ride of the year

  Oh, somehting like that could be quite useful. Do you mean this one, myWindsock? Source: about 1 year ago

• Clockwise or counterclockwise?

  Mywindsock.com wind direction. And keeping steady huge climbs as early as possible when I am not depleted. Source: about 1 year ago

• A fun side project proposal: app that notifies you when wind conditions are right to crush your PRs and KOMs

  Mywindsock.com - once you get over the idea that it's about old men uploading photos of their reusable condoms, it's a useful site for planning rides, although a lot of the low level wind detail is estimated, i.e. In a 1 mile section through buildings or trees it's not going to pick up on all of the gusts and changes in wind direction you encounter in realtime.
