• Help on choosing my first bikepacking bike?

  Alternatively you could also go for a hardtail like a canyon exceed and add drop bars, which can be cheaper then a gravel bike right now, especially if you plan to have a lot of offroad, but yes only 1 by drivetrain then). I would look at what people are using in ultracycling events, for example on the dotwatcher.cc website or bikepacking.com. 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 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.
