They certainly would. I've just bumped into a neighbour who's into Audax (if that's how you say it even) and has just done London Edinburgh London in 4 days - 1400km.

They are a special breed... though I think even they might balk at the idea of Freds as being the route...

It's winter time, have we had the annual 'Looking for recommendations' winter glove chat yet ?
I want to not be such a wuss this year. My think warm winter glove is great for the flat bars of the MTB, however on the STI's, the way I have them both on one side, I find the niger tips get caught between inner/outer levers so I want a glove that won't do this. I've been looking at neoprene gloves on the web, anyone used these with success? or should I just be gaffer taping the finger tips of my existing glove tighter?

I have some sealskin all weather gloves that I wear all day and they seem to do really well for me. I can even work my phone in them
(LEL is considered a fairly ‘easy’ long audax as the jump from 1200-1400k gives a huge extra time limit. I guess the closest ride to 10 in 5 Freds is the Maniac 1000k. Which is VERY hard)

Grip grabs are amazeballs BTW.
OK next question I probably could workout but....
Bike computers... WTAF?
I cannot for the life of me understand what I want or what it all means.
Ideally I'd like a thing that I can load routes into and gives me navigation when I'm away from home. I understand that I might be able to do this on t'phone, I signed up to 'bike map.net' and down loaded their app. I can find routes on the website I'd like to load into the app but no idea how to get this do this!
I'm tempted to buy a garmin or equivalent with GPS & navigation screen. Those give me speed and distance but do they have the extra to link up to a cadence sensor ? and how do you work out virtual power, I don't mind it not being bang on accurate power as long as its consistently inaccurate.
Basically tell me what to buy or download.
Then I'll kill myself doing Overtime to pay for it.
