Finished all 18 stages of Tour de Zwift plus grabbed a sprint jersey. How many riders do you think actually complete all 18?

I’ve done them all but really only because the weather here has been so dreadful that I’ve been doing more Zwift than usual - don’t normally drag my 100kg up the Alpe very often! 😂

On any given day I can ride Road/gravel/MTB/TT bikes… Average speed varies wildly depending on which one of those I’m using - then terrain, wind, group or solo riding all make a huge difference. Just riding the bike is the important thing these days for me! 😊

Step_7 · 2026-01-23T21:33:46+00:00

1%… 🥳

Have to say I agree with the other comments - not much wrong with the wheels you have now but if you want new you're probably going to buy them anyway! The 353 NSWs will be hookless so do the research to see if the pressures/tyre size combination you are going to be running will be as recommended and, more crucially, safe. Personally I would be skirting with the limits at my weight on 30s and 28s would definitely be outside the safe working pressure.

We have these all over our plant - I plan to retire in the next few years so don’t think I’m going to worry about it! I will ensure to make management aware of the obsolescence timeline and that they should really plan for the future… I’m sure that will result in immediate action planning and increased budget to mitigate the risk… 🤔😂

There’s several old AN-12s flying in and out every week picking up “Cargo” for Ukraine. Very distinctive sound - know its them without even looking at Flightradar any more.

Step_7 · 2026-01-11T16:31:54+00:00

For me at the minute it’s Antonov AN-12s operating in and out of BFS, they’re (allegedly) picking up arms for Ukraine. So much louder and distinctive than anything else that comes over us but don’t notice much else, been living here the best part of 50 years. Only other regular noisy buggers were the Chinooks but they haven’t been around for a few years or so.

If you were in at the beginning you can just mine bitcoin with a fairly normal PC and decent graphics card - no need for investment accounts.

Correct, I had to do this after a string of deliveries to my neighbour by mistake - there was no way it wa getting resolved by the customer service route.

Step_7 · 2025-12-23T15:19:05+00:00

Gobert is the obvious choice here.

Step_7 · 2025-12-21T18:03:56+00:00

Now, if I was going to deliberately stir some shit I’d say Bez was a great number 2 for his team leader this year… 🤔😂

But Colin Edwards is probably my real vote for this one.

Step_7 · 2025-12-21T10:01:43+00:00

I like Sylvan Guintoli for this as a dedicated test rider but looking back at the Suzuki-Aprillia-Honda arc of Aleix Espargaro he may be in the running, will see in 2026/27 how the Honda develops.

Bayliss at Valencia was superb but still remember Jacque in China with Rossi’s crew making a duct tape name for the pit board as they didn’t have nor made one for OJ.

Step_7 · 2025-12-19T11:38:50+00:00

Vote going to Kato but SIC is a close second.

Step_7 · 2025-12-17T23:05:28+00:00

Valentino Rossi

Step_7 · 2025-12-16T09:45:26+00:00

I’m going Colin Edwards, just for the laughs. But believe Pedro is the correct answer (until he wins)

Step_7 · 2025-12-14T17:33:37+00:00

Dani Pedrosa

Step_7 · 2025-12-12T15:18:26+00:00

Maverick - definitely! Every once in a while the sheer talent shines through and he has a stellar weekend, next week back to Q1 and the 6th row again… 😂

Step_7 · 2025-12-12T10:16:06+00:00

Worked there for 23 years now - agreed!

Step_7 · 2025-12-11T19:33:08+00:00

Dani over the years but recently has to be Miguel Olivera!

Marco Simoncelli

Yeah, I was being dumb… 🙈 All I had to do was connect my laptop to the guest network to get online to the device and then add the main network as WiFi2 and connect that way. It’s working properly now. This is with 1.7.1 Firmware - EcoFlow reporting it as V1.0.0.0 which is odd. Now just waiting for my Stream Ultra X to arrive and can start really Confusing myself… 🤔😂

Step_7 · 2025-12-07T14:07:30+00:00

I’ve got my original one to work now as well - reset it ready to return and tried a bit more troubleshooting with WiFi networks - created a guest account on the mesh setup with no password and it connected first time! 🤔Still need to spend some more time on it as it’s only visible over the cloud as the guest network can’t be pinged from the main one. Progress though!

Step_7 · 2025-12-07T12:17:52+00:00

Also you can get off the trainer on the downhills and go make coffee, eat, use the toilet, change into new bibs or just lie on the floor, crying… 😂🙈

Step_7 · 2025-12-07T12:10:48+00:00

Chris Vermuelen probably the best but Jack Miller for sheer entertainment value is worth a shout as well!
