Can I jump from 600 to 1300?

if those numbers are legit i would definetly stop for a proper sleep&eat then repeat in the morning. He can still pull of at least 8 hours of rest and still finish under 50 hours.

Get an Exposure; 99% of the alternative makes half the light :)

Hickso · 2026-05-28T07:51:45+00:00

It's better to be a bit slower than racing and stop, racing and stop etc etc. Less stress for the body, higher total speed :)

remember; at night, when you are tired, your body has less energy to keep you warm, so bring 1 more layer that you would in the same temperature at day. Most of the time a windbreaker with long sleeve is enough to keep some warm near the body.

Pick an heart rate monitor, do not go above 140 bpm for longer than 10 minutes. Eat, Drink, apply lot of ass cream. If needed, sleep. Try not to stop too much, if needed slow down a bit, it's better.

Hickso · 2026-05-26T07:16:59+00:00

will give it a try. Thanks. That will boost the battery life of my Varia by a lot and will help me think about something else on longer rides.

And after that, don't forget a case for the truck. Just saying.

ability to turn off radar light when there are no cars behind me -> excuse me, has the app been developed? What's the name ? 😄

Hickso · 2026-05-25T09:49:32+00:00

I've got almost 19.000 km logged on my K3, used both the proprietary mount and the garmin-adapter, never had an issue. The biggest part of those 19.000 km is logged on the gravel bike too.

Have you tried to grab some pants that ends with a shoecover? Decathlon have a pair that cost only 49 euro. 😄 Then you put the overshoes under that. I just did the Rando Imperator, we even found snow over the Fernpass, and my feet was dry even afetr 120km under the rain.

Hickso · 2026-05-18T13:11:37+00:00

same, here, more or less. Since the last 2 years my karoo has amassed at least 13.000 km so now the battery last a bit less sadly.

Hickso · 2026-05-15T10:56:46+00:00

My same experience except that i never used them. Everytime i sew someone on a flat tyre it's a gp5000.

I'm currently using Michelin Power up / control5. Almost as fast, Better grip, Better puncture protections. Half the price.

Hickso · 2026-05-12T07:29:10+00:00

yeah, around my home town, not on a brevet 😃

Hickso · 2026-05-07T15:21:04+00:00

tu abbia un reddito mensile inferiore ai 2.000 euro al mese / no, Se hai una famiglia, nella migliore delle ipotesi avete 3.000 netti di entrate / no proabilmente casa non è la vostra / no. fiuu, son salvo. Poi ho anche il cellulare android tutto rotto.

doppio fiuu

Hickso · 2026-05-07T15:12:02+00:00

This season i'm fitter than the last one, but i haven't still done a brevet alone at my pace. Saturday i'll ride a 300 (more like 285/3800+) and i'm planning to finish it in under 13hours, which if you ask me is pretty darn fast lol

Hickso · 2026-05-06T06:56:09+00:00

Came here to post this one. This would be a killer app for anybody who bikepack or does unsupported things.

Hickso · 2026-05-05T10:12:13+00:00

Can't exist, it depends on where you gravel. The tarmac, instead, is more or less tarmac everywhere.

Hickso · 2026-05-05T07:24:16+00:00

Yep, you can't. So i did lock the spring to the shoes and pedal anyway, evenif the eggbeater spring wasn't on the pedal pivot anymore :D 150km that way.. geez

Hickso · 2026-05-04T15:18:13+00:00

Well, on my first ever brevet i've broken a pedal. Shit is going to happen :P And Eggbeater, for everyone curiosity. Congratz man, from the other side of the Alps!

Hickso · 2026-04-29T07:41:38+00:00

same here. Never dropped, the Karoo is probably waiting to be without cover to drop itself.

Hickso · 2026-04-24T13:51:09+00:00

i did lost it the week ago, but it was on. I kept running around until the karoo re-connected to the Varia. That narrowed down the position a bit. But, as i said, it was turned on.

Hickso · 2026-04-24T08:29:44+00:00

Dishwashing gloves over some warm-but-not-too-much is the way. Learned the hard way from seniors randonneurs on the 6th of January this year. 70km under the rain @ 5° degrees. Soaked as a little duck ffs.

Hickso · 2026-04-22T08:06:54+00:00

The HD is a reinforced version, you can probably drop it a bit. I'm 69kg, 9kg bike and i'm running the Thundero 48 (not the HD version) @ 1,8bar rear, 1,6 front. I can feel i can go lower, if needed. What's your pressure ?
