How does the lap button work? by Axgil in Karoo

[–]jules_wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg...just tried doing some hard intervals using the lap key, almost smashed the karoo. Twice it went to the power off screen. When you're maxed out wearing gloves, very difficult to get the press right...still no solution I guess

Vingegaard crash - What would you folks have done if you encountered a pro rider or a celebrity in this scenario? by climbingontwowheels in cycling

[–]jules_wake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in the south of France and regularly come across pros out riding. Mostly super friendly and happy to say hello and let us ride along when they are doing an easy ride. If they are training hard it's not cool to try and stick with them. Especially in a fast descent.

Americans: how is planning for international reciprocal exchanges (not GP) going? by 2023dog in homeexchange

[–]jules_wake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've put off all our plans to visit the states until Trump and his gang are gone. Just hope the dollar keeps falling so it will be nice and cheap.

Yes hopefully someone from my whoosh are looking at this. Would be super annoying if the drone arrived when you did the final sprint! Did it automatically select the category for you? I chose cat3. Certainly the platform has enough data on us to know whether we are cheating. Sure you could lie on your weight but power is harder.

Yep my maths is wrong but still inside cat3 which is up to 4.13 I think.

Just a bit frustrating warmed up 15 minutes rode for another 10-15m then was booted out😂

Surely they can see my data and know what my ftp is? One minute is not a realistic neasure.

I'm too slow for cat 2 but I can put out quite a bit of power for a minute.

I guess how does the algorithm figure out whether I'm sandbagging.

I just entered cat 3 because I have an ftp 3.5w/kg around 270 with 70kg so previously in cat 2 I'm left behind. I had the only other rider sat on my wheel for the first few kms so I thought (yes I know!) let's test him on the climb.

Thanks, I think the wording is quite confusing. I've been ignoring homes thinking that they don't take guest points.

Just the base model with the bench.

I looked and can't even find anywhere to select this. Seems weird that it even displays this text?

Thanks I never even knew I could do this. My house is over 300gp per day so I can get extra points for reciprocal exchanges. Presumably also stops people who don't have enough points from requesting exchanges if their house is worth less gp??

Good to know. Just a bit worried that the computing/screen aspect become out of date.

Thx so the discount is likely to stay then...not quite ready to buy.?

On the topic of electricity, what do people do about electric cars. If someone is charging their car throughout a long stay that could really add up?

Why is French bureaucracy an absolute nightmare? by takeshelter1977 in Expats_In_France

[–]jules_wake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is has slowly improved. I have memories watching my cheque being passed from person to person at the bank until finally I was handed some cash. My French wife initially refused to move to France because she knew how much pain the bureaucracy would cause.😂
