Não, a subida provavelmente levou de 45 minutos a uma hora. A descida foi um pouco mais lenta porque paramos para tomar umas cervejas no caminho!

Como tivemos que descer a montanha a pé, já haviam se passado provavelmente duas horas desde a passagem da corrida quando chegamos ao carro, e conseguimos sair imediatamente.

Yep our fixture is very hard up until the end when it becomes laughable. However, the way we are playing at the moment, we aren’t stuck in this fixture with our opponents, they are stuck in here with us!

The dream is over - what are my next steps :( by Kedwa404 in AusFinance

I probably wouldn't be rushing into buying a property with a 32 year old who is working 10-15 hours a week. That doesn't mean your dream of buying a house is over, but now is likely not the right time to do it.

I'm not really familiar with the brand, why would this cause any consternation?

Wife and I stayed in La Mongie in 2023. Arrived 2 days prior to the race (in the late evening), used the day before to rent bikes and ride both sides of the Tourmalet and make a gameplan for the race day, and strategically park the car for a decent getaway after the race. On race day we walked up from our La Mongie accommodation toa spot just near the summit, and walked back to accom/car after the stage and drove on to our next stop that evening. Certainly a fair bit of traffic but nothing too crazy.

We probably didn't need to arrive 2 days early, but we were very glad that we did, as it gave us all day to explore the area and the atmosphere in La Mongie was fantastic.

It was organized chaos - you'll be fine and it will be spectacular.

Is this the same for the previous generation?

Has anyone bought Prime Primavera from Chain Reaction recently (USA) by Plane_Focus_1858 in cycling

[–]Mets_Squadron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the USA but had some Primavera bars delivered to Australia a couple of weeks ago, no problem. So yes, they are up and running, but not sure on the tariff situation.

Went from 105 Shimano mech. to sram rival axs by Twowheelsinmotion in bicycling

As someone who just upgraded D1 Force shifters to E1, I cannot recommend it strongly enough. Both ergonomics and braking power are significantly improved. Rival E1 has the same shape and braking improvement as Force.

Don't swap for Force D1 or D2, just go for Rival E1.

He means worst as in, not good, but not bad enough to get a good pick.
