    I don't think the extra features of the 1040 are worth the extra If you can get a student or company portal discount for Garmin direct on the 1040 it can be had for £468

Felt £1600 was a good price and will be a nice upgrade versus my Cube Attain Race GTC Bars are 2cm wider than my current ones and Cassette has smaller big cog but I...

    I didnt stop at that Rest stop, rather the 1st and 3rd and so didnt realise any food was provided. They were not clear on this either before the ride or signage during

    Just done that and it has increased mine from 162km to 164km and increased my average speed at the same time. It hasnt corrected the lost distance due to taking a straight line under the Limehouse tunnel so wonder where it has found another 2km ?? I had expected to need to move coordinates on...

    They only omitted 2 of the stops. Plus the official time would include time lost waiting for the route to be reopened after the air ambulance delay

    Yeh the lack of food was a disappointment, so I had to rely on the 4 small snickers I had brought plus gels which worked out ok for me My main challenge, as legs felt good for the most part, was cramp which only started setting in during the last 10 miles or so. I had another salt tablet I...

    Doesn't having it there prevent you from holding the bars? Hope everyone out doing the RL had a good day? My first Imperial Century ride and managed 5.25 of moving time with a couple of stops on top (plus the road closure)

    Noted thanks. Hoping to get an early start time so as not to get caught up at any pinch points too much (Put down 5-6 hour expected time when i registered). My normal endurance riding speed on semi hilly routes is around 17mph (when i try and stick to the top of Zone 2) so hoping the draft from...

    How to bulk compress images in iCloud?

    I understand what I am attempting to do here guys I pay £2.49 presently for 200GB family plan but don't want to jump to 2TB for £7 per month as that's way more storage than I need or want to pay. I'm on Android now so it's just my wife continuing to take pictures that get uploaded to iCloud...

    How to bulk compress images in iCloud?

    Yep. Their business model relies on people staying in the ecosystem and building up image libraries ad finitum. If I can delay the inevitable I can save money in the meantime. Assuming based on the advice above I bulk download them onto my MacBook in Photos app, then delete, compress and re add...
