Strava question...
What's happened to the 'estimated calorie burn' info on Strava? I used to get the info when I uploaded rides, now I don't... Do you have to be a Premium user for this info now?

Here's my Boardman CX Team :wink: When I collected the bike: After I'd finished fitting, fettling and messing about with it... The build was poor; as I went to fettle the rear disc brake, I went to loosen the rear calliper & I noticed someone had snapped off an Allen key in the nut :huh: Had to dash back at 5:30 this…

Winter commuting...
I saw this on cyclechat.net and had to pinch it... IF you can keep your saddle when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on the weather, If you can trust yourself when all work colleagues doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait at the lights and not be withered by the pouring rain,…

Do you see MFP as a Diet of a Lifestyle change?
I see it as a lifestyle change myself, what about you? In my eyes 'dieting' is depriving yourself. With MFP, you can eat what you like (in moderation) so you aren't depriving yourself...

New road bike wheel recommendations?
Ok, so last night I managed to snap a spoke on my rear wheel (& my wheels are getting a little long in the tooth anyway), so I'm after some recommendations for a replacement set...

Two prawns...
Far away in the tropical waters of the Coral Sea , two prawns were swimming around. One called Justin and the other called Christian.
