In a few weeks I'll have a new pedals: A Favero Assioma Duo.

It's my first pedals with watt measure. A friend of mine has ones and he is very satisfied with this thing...The price here in EU is "correct" if you compare this with the Garmin for example (450€ vs 1000€). I'm not sure why this technology is so expensive. Curiosity my friend spend 450€ in this pedals around 4 years a ago.

I hope that this thing will be than hard like my old Look Keos 2 with 12 years of abusses.

Someone have experience with this pedals?

I did a 20 mile ride today and somewhere along the way I wondered whether @MexicanDragon has logged 20 miles total on his new Vado that got him so excited. Waiting for a reply...

This thread goes dormant for too long.  Winter has finally (sort of) arrived here in NH.  We got enough so along with the rain to create some pretty rideable conditions.  Had a blast out there for an hour or so today.

Well maybe Brent needs to get back on the bike (and off) and post some pictures.

Never too old to have a heart attack, break a bone or fall into a bush @MexicanDragon

I think pickleball players keep repeating that.

Grrrrr... was going to tell you and everyone else who got a Specialized SL-equipped bike that there is a great deal (25% off) on accessories, including the range extender (which was REALLY hard to find previously), and 25% off of the Y-adapter (that I used today before I ride with @cetoole and Xavier)  https://www.specialized.com/us/en/shop/equipment/gear/turbo-extras/c/turboaccessories

Then I am reminded of @Voltron's snarkiness, and then I thought about my favorite Google search: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=breakfast+biscuits&find_loc=Bellevue%2C+WA

Have a good ride!

Ready for tomorrow  😉

Nice day with old friends.

There is little left for my next adventure:

 

[jose]

We travel to La Gomera. As it were, it was my illusion. 

Tomorrow We still have to take two ferries and 175 kilometers by car to get there.

This week I will see if my 11 year mtb still works. Been years since I’ve been on a trail.

You'll also get to see if your 11 years older body still works!

More than anything, check air pressures in the suspension.  Would not be fun to bottom out the front and get launched due to low pressure.

Thanks Nate. I probably should take it to a shop for a tune up.

It has been a rough week at work.  I decided to attempt mental floss on the way to work and kick my own ass.

Long way to go but to quote my favorite band, "at least I am enjoying the ride."

 

[n_maher]

Decided to find some motivation this morning.
