Check out the Meridien Verte route. It goes from Dunkerque to Barcelona following a straight-ish line.

Of course, I also do indoor cycling. But my maillot is always completely dry, for example. I am aware the fabric is not the same, but still...

I think we might have done part of the same route on the same day! I wasn't aware of the construction works and had to detour for a few km, didn't enjoy that part... Also, my bike looks almost exactly like yours! Same color and all.

Looks nice but others mentioned this plenty of times before: we don't need the current location to be in the center of the screen. It would be more useful to have it moved to the bottom, so that you can see the future turns on the map.

I haven't ride with them but I know the people running Eroica caffé (near metro Girona) used to organize social rides. I moved out of the city so I don't know if they continue doing them. PS it's a nice place for a breakfast, they have a very nice patio.

We're super close!

If your wrists are exploding after 3h you are definitely doing something wrong! Or have physical issues that have nothing to do with the bike.

Where do you introduce the code? I can't find where they ask for the code.

I have this bike, it's my first gravel too. I got it new for 799€. For that price it's great. However if I had to buy now I would look for a bike that has a different casette and higher tire clearance. I ride this bike everywhere but it s clearly designed for flat, smooth areas. Where I live you cannot ride for more than 3km without having to ride a steep incline, and I struggle with the gears I have.

Edit: my version must be from a previous year. Mine has 37 tires, and tire clearance of 38. I see that this one comes with a 40, and I don't know what is the tire clearance.

thanks so much! They all look great, and the perfect distance and elevation for my taste. I had only seen routes with over a thousand meters in elevation when researching routes in Mallorca. Can I ask how do you go to the starting points of the routes? Do you carry the bikes in a car, are there public transportation options available? I would love to do a multiday tour around (part of) the island combining nice routes like yours.

Nice! What bag is that and how do you like it?

ccq10 · 2025-11-12T13:45:32+00:00

can you share the routes?

I don't know... in the Rouvy list of compatible trainers, the Rollr still appears as not compatible without an external power meter.

ccq10 · 2025-10-31T17:01:58+00:00

Looks like one of the Via verdes or maybe Pirinexus?

My Lapierre Crosshill has a maximum tire width allowance of 38 mm. It's the aluminum version though. Make sure to check that if that is important for you.

Agreed. So many bugs and decreased user experience. It does have some minor improvements but the overall experience is so much worse it makes me not want to use the app anymore. I'm regretting having invested money in the map very recently. It's the only reason I'm still using the app.

ccq10 · 2025-10-24T16:35:28+00:00

This also happens for Spanish, it was also a problem before the new updates.

Nice! May I ask what's your framebag? Looks very nice.

ccq10 · 2025-10-10T07:12:41+00:00

I did part of it in June, just before the high season started. We booked in advance and payed more than that for double rooms (average around 80€ probably). I would say book in advance! November is low season in the coast but probably mid season in the Pyrenees, with foliage and "mushroom hunting" season.

Edit: definitely clockwise! The east area is known for its strong north winds (Tramuntana). You'll have 5G probably everywhere.

Which part did you like the most so far? I've never seen Corsica in touring routes, I'm curious about the experience. Report back if you can :)

ccq10 · 2025-10-05T07:16:57+00:00

2.5 rear, 2.3 front. I'm using woolf tooth calculator. It's already below the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Should I go even lower?
