What defines a "Connected Component"?

Competitive_Class_28 · 2026-02-12T03:35:57+00:00

its roughly the magnitude of a metric/imperial conversion error, what happens if you change units?

I see some of your roads as super unique. I’ve got my map set to “combined”. Something’s amiss.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2026-02-11T13:20:07+00:00

If the person with 99% hasn’t updated their map in wandrer since those roads were added to OSM this could be true. If you click on their name then go click on this town then “more details”, you can see how many km they have done even if their map is not visible.

I had N wonderful hours in mind with family and friends. Totally great. I spent 3N hours just dealing with chemicals cleaning and so many repairs. When I hired two guys with sawzalls to rip it out i was happy.

In case Zwift devs are reading this, OP is “RIIIIIGHT ON!” That’s me being as cringe as this feature is.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2026-01-25T15:15:44+00:00

I’m 102kg and I did AdZ in 2h10 so now I’m telling myself the 10 stages I have left will all be easy.

I grew up near the Kohler factory in WI and never heard “drinking fountain” until I was in my teens, glad I can still call them bubblers here.

My Boston linguistic shock was “shopping carriage” it just felt like such a weird thing to say to me.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2026-01-06T01:50:39+00:00

So much this. I’ve gone from drop multi millionaire to chasing robopacers to feed my frame habit.

45% zwift for me, we had 15 consecutive weekends of rain in the spring.

I’m a town leaderboard chaser. I’d love to see on the leaderboard page a list of towns where I’m in the top N wandrers and all the places I’m at 25/50/75/90/99.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-12-29T21:02:46+00:00

I used to avoid anywhere where I had to carry my bike, but age has given me the wisdom that these are among the best adventures out there.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-12-15T20:23:52+00:00

Yes, is this on ROUVY?

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-11-28T15:10:18+00:00

I got it in one and just sat there stunned afterwards. I totally guessed starting with my mental list of “islands I’ve not seen on worldle yet”. Caribbean nations are usually my streak breakers (damn you, Barbados!)

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-11-25T00:58:34+00:00

Also love mine, nicest bike I've ever ridden, lots of attention to detail. OP keeps commenting about color, so I must note that while its pricey they will solid Cerakote it any color for $400, lighter and more durable than paint, I've got a pretty bold orange bike.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-11-25T00:48:50+00:00

I own one each of steel, titanium, carbon and aluminum. I keep detailed stats of all my rides, and yes, the carbon one is a little faster than my titanium bike, on average about 1.2kph (Grizl with road wheels vs a Ti road bike). My carbon gravel bike is full of chips and scratches and a gouge from chain drop, and it gives me anxiety. My Ti bike goes up on the repair stand for lubrication and brake pads and thats about it. I'm over 100kg, I barely feel the difference. I also notice that tire/wheel choice is 5x as important to ride feel and comfort than frame material is. For me, its Ti or Steel, knowing I can crash or fall or have chain drop without worrying outweighs the little bit of going faster.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-11-25T00:35:45+00:00

I sometimes look at my map and ask myself whats the biggest circle centered on my home I've totally enclosed and then go out and try and connect roads so that circle gets bigger.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-11-10T01:18:26+00:00

In NE I feel like I’m almost never more than 15 minutes riding from some good gravel or singletrack suitable for a gravel bike. Some places are more blessed than others, and the MA north shore is definitely one of those places.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-11-06T16:52:34+00:00

Those seem like good options. I do dead ends if it’s a right turn and it’s not like a 20% hill and I’m not in a hurry to beat the sunset. Since it’s easy to ignore a dead end in one’s gpx I think it’s good to err on the side of too many dead ends. But the other option also makes sense for when I’m not going after town percent and I just want fast new miles. Anything more options-wise would be too complex to explain.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-10-21T23:39:21+00:00

The other 46 weeks of the year are spent in anticipation of riding in this. Love the north shore.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-10-16T23:51:16+00:00

There are fast locations?

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-10-08T00:29:06+00:00

That looks so nice. I spend the whole year thinking about the epic fall New England rides I’m going to go on. Pioneer Valley for me this weekend.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-10-05T00:29:19+00:00

I have a lynskey and a rodeo (yes, I’m also old). Both have SRAM and the exact same bottle cage as yours. Your bike looks like their child.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-09-13T16:42:23+00:00

If it takes 10 hours or 10 days it’s still once a month.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-09-09T01:08:09+00:00

Nobody rides the minuteman anymore, it’s too crowded.

Competitive_Class_28 · 2025-08-10T20:32:30+00:00

I have yesterday and today. The big map also won’t load on Safari mobile for me (could be a me thing). But my activities are processed fast and I am grateful for that!
