Gentle ride today - 35 km exploring a little further east and a bit of the Canning River.

This photo does not capture the drama of the day, but each time the back wheel got clogged like this, it brought the bike to a stop. I had to clear the mud as best I could, move forward about 10 metres, and rinse and repeat. There were gaps between the 'mud holes' for want of a better word, such...

Perth is infamous for being rather windy, and today was such a day. 58% of my 56km ride was into a headwind. As I like to stay in eco mode, it hurt me a bit. Ah well, hopefully Tuesday's ride will be more pleasant. Rode past our local "White House" [Italian influence typical of the area] ...

I need decent, mild winter rainproof gloves. I see these are sold here for AU$27 (€15.52). Looks like I have found a pair of gloves.

Easy ride today, which included a POOPS dog walk. The photos is of some of our cycling infrastructure. Not the Netherlands, but at least progress is being made.

Possibly. The ACE controls music streaming, e.g., spotify but the music comes from the phone.

Regarding the Ace, has anyone been able to set it up to pipe alerts/navigation instructions through their phone to headphones? According to DuckDuckGo search assistance (AI) it is possible: Is this, in fact, correct? If so, any guidance on how to set this up would be appreciated. My searching...

That is frustrating. Even the Bosch Nyon can provide this data. I cannot imagine it being a difficult calculation.

Picked up an Ace/Radar package yesterday. Still setting it all up, but I do have one question. On my Garmin 103,0 it can display the ETA when navigating, but I cannot find something similar in the ACE. Am I missing it or is there a workaround around or should I rely on the Nyon or whatever for...

A local bicycle chain (99Bikes.com.au) offers the Wahoo Ace with the Wahoo Tackr Radar for AU$789 (approximately US$529). Here, the radar on its own sells for AU$349 (US$234), so this essentially means the Ace is offered at a discount (Wahoo's price is AU$995/US$667) with the radar included for...

Is it easy to remove a pad and measure the thickness? That is in my experience the best way to determine if the pads need replacing, well besides being clearly down to the metal.

Happens here too, too often. See more of this design now [this was in the UK]. Warning Keep Clear - UK2016-12 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
