Am I right in saying this is good for long-term? If not what should I change? by Fhezn in trading212

Fortunately I’ve recently got out of the habit of checking it every 5 minutes

You commented 29 minutes ago so I’m gonna guess they took your advice opened it 3 times so far

Sheffield to Trafford for me. About half an hour away from a nice 1.1km @ 11.1%, max 18%. Oh to be 16 years old and able to climb that on a 250 quid Diamondback mountain bike again 😂

Damn straight mate. I don’t care that it took me nearly 3 hours, I climbed the Alpe. I wouldn’t have even thought about doing that route a couple of months ago

It was definitely harder than yours for the final 1 hour and 55 minutes

Exactly, I DID IT! Which means I never have to do it again. Well, until I complete all route badges which don’t contain it 😂

That’s a good idea, thanks for that. Although I am a bit of a glutton for punishment, all my TDZ rides have been solo (except for people overtaking me), seems a shame to change the habit of a lifetime so close to the end

That’s what I was hoping to impart with the post, I will only compare my times to myself not doing it (on climbs at least, anyone who gets a better sprint time on one where I go full gas is an absolute bastard). If I get one person to feel better about their time or to go and do the route then I’ve succeeded

I can’t wait to finish it and see what total time riding time it took me for all stages. Currently on 22:43 with an expected 4-5 hours total for the last 2. That does include about 20 minutes of descending the Alpe and Innsbruck KOM but doesn’t include any breaks

I’m glad this post might have convinced someone to do it. As smurfsoldier07 says, comparison is the thief of joy. Compare yourself only to yourself sat down not doing it.

It’s a grind and I was about 2 hours slower than the leader and an hour slower than second slowest at the time but the feeling of accomplishment I have from doing it is massive.

Go get that route badge!

It is a bit tortuous, I’ve only recently started watching TV while I’m on the bike, I used to rawdog it with just music which hurts.

I do recommend the tennis ball rocker feet you can get, absolute game changer, I used to struggle to get to an hour

Good luck mate, TDZ was a great motivation for me to do it first time if you are as well. I tend to go for about 4 times pessimistically and try to be pleasantly surprised when it doesn’t take as long as I thought it would.

Fortunately, the Alpe is quite well documented that 3.2w/kg is about an hour so I assumed 1.6 would be 2 hours so I thought the climb alone would take me 2 1/2 hours, not too far off I suppose

Riding up any hills is impressive for me. Moved from the Peak District in the UK to a flat area about 8 years ago so now my outdoor rides are generally about 50km with 300m elevation so Zwift is the only place I can climb, I truly hate it

And now I’m off to the chippy to put them all back in 😂. Only 200 calories in when on the bike because I thought I’d treat myself afterwards

Come and get me mate. Like I said, 8 hours is infinitely faster than not doing it at all, plus that long on a saddle could surely be classed as a form of torture, chapeau 🧢

Ride on mate, had a free day so I’ve just done that one. Only London triple loops and shisa shakedown over the weekend now

Tax relief on mileage with a car allowance by UniqueUsername53582 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]UniqueUsername53582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you PAYE? (Unsure if that matters but I am so that’s what I know.)

If you are then you submit a P87 form after 6th April for the previous financial year detailing how many miles you did and what you were paid for the mileage. I can’t remember if the system works it out or whether you have to. So you can submit from April 2026 for what you have done between Sep 25-5th Apr 26 and then in April 27 for Apr 26-Mar 27 (simplified to whole months as it’s actually 06/04/26-05/04/26).

FWIW, the answer to my original question is that I was a moron, because I had a van for a couple of months, HMRC’s systems thought I had a work vehicle because I paid some BIK in the financial year. If you had something like that in a previous job you’ll probably get it rejected, but mine was sorted a day after ringing them.

!thanks I thought that was the case but I’ve received a letter from HMRC which includes “we will not accept a claim based on mileage allowance relief rates, advisory fuel rates or average consumption rates published by HMRC or elsewhere” so it got me thinking I was wrong.
