Talvipäivänseisaus 2018 – seuranta

Talvipäivänseisaus-pyöräilyssä ajetaan vuoden pimeimmän yön yli. Tänä vuonna varsinainen päivä on niin lähellä joulua, että ajo toteutetaan jo edellisenä viikonloppuna. Ajat on kuitenkin laskettu talvipäivänseisauksen mukaan. Kilometrejä aletaan laskea auringon laskiessa ja perillä pitää olla auringon noustessa. Matkaan lähtee yhteensä noin 85 pyöräilijää, joista noin 75 Tampeelle ja 10 Ouluun.

Tapahtumaa voi seurata #talvipäivänseisaus Twitterissä ja Instagramissa.

Osallistujilla on myös mahdollisuus jakaa sijaintinsa yleisölle.

Intermodal cycling trip around Eurasia

I participated Transcontinental race #tcrno6 and Silk road mountain race #srmrno1 this summer. This post is about logistics and practical issues while solo traveling with a bicycle for a, relatively, long time. My earlier similar post from 2015 (Tcr and PBP) can be found here.

It took a while to figure out all the logistics needed to participate both races that were just a few days off. I’ve had a ”handicap” of flying only once per year (one take-off, one landing) since 2008. Quite a few people have asked me to write about the details so here is how it all played out.

Ruska-pyöräily Turusta Kilpisjärvelle 2018 – Mediatiedote

(14.9.2018, vapaa julkaistavaksi)

Perjantaina 14.9. auringonlaskun aikaan alkaa Turusta järjestyksessä toinen Ruska-pyöräily. 25 pyöräiijää ajaa omatoimisesti itse suunnitelemaansa reittiä Suomen halki kolmen rastin, Kuoleman, Sallan ja Esrangen, kautta Kilpisjärvelle. Kello käy koko ajan ja maalissa pitää olla viimeistään keskiyöllä lauantaina 22.9. Reittivalinnoista riippuen päivämatkaa kertyy vähintään 250 kilometriä ja yhteensä noin 2000 km

Omatoimisesti ajaminen tarkoittaa, että kaikki ulkopuolinen apu on kielletty, mutta kaupallisesti kaikille saatavilla olevat palvelut on sallittu. Lyhyesti tämä tarkoittaa, että kaupassa ja hotellissa käynti on sallittu, mutta reitille tuodut eväät tai kaverin mökillä yöpyminen kielletty. Myös suunnistus ja pyörän huolto tapahtuman aikana tehdään itse eikä apua saa pyytää esimerkiksi soittamalla kotiin tai pyytämällä sitä somessa.

Ruskaa voi seurata https://www.randonneurs.fi/ruska-2018/ sivulla olevalla pyöräilijöiden kännyköiden sijantiin perustuvalla live-seurannalla, ajajien some-päivityksistä ja tunnisteella #ruska2018.

Transcontinental race 2018 – complete kit list

Another year, another Transcontinental race. Here is my latest kit list. I recommend you read my previous entries too 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014 as I will refer to them. For all the photos see the album in Flickr.

Back to basics, so to say. After year with Orbea road bike I’m back to my frankenbike Tunturi F500 from year 2003. Original parts today being frame, headset, seat clamp and derailleur hanger.

P7230009

I will ride the Silk road mountain race after Transcontinental so a few details are due to that. I have 3 Lupine batteries, 12-30 cassette and some other gear mostly due to using same bike 5 days after Tcr for a very different event.

Tires are this time Durano 28 mms. I took a little more robust quick releases. In real frankenbike manner there is a Shimano in rear wheel and Campagnolo in front. This is also the first year I’m riding without power meter. For simplicity and no need to change batteries, but also a chance to push too hard in the headwinds. Also a bit heavier SON original hub dynamo this time.

Camelbak podiums again like ever since I bought them. The Brooks saddle has travelled with me over 50000 km already.

P7230015

P7230014

P7230016

Luxos U again as the main light. Lupine Piko R is for uphills and downhills. Remote for Garmin 1030 on the left hand side and Lupine on the right hand side. GoPro session for video as usual. I usually like symmetry and simplicity in my dashboard, but this time it’s completely gone.

P7230017

I lost my Solas 2 last winter and replaced it with Solas 100 which is pretty much the same light. For all the good (very bright) and bad (easily gets wet) features. B&M Secula is again the main taillight powered by dynamo.

P7230022

New helmet since last year as I left old one to a train to Thessaloniki last year. Some new shoes as I am using Shimano spd pedals this time. Otherwise the kit remains the same.

P7230019

Spare cloths are in Carradice rear bag. Jacket, toe warmers, buff, leg warmers and spare shorts are the same. New gloves and wool spare socks were added since last year.

P7230007

In the Alpkit drybag I have a bivy and sleeping pad (Neoair xlite). Big change from bubble wrap, but these are again needed after Tcr anyways so why not bring them to finish on my own. Same goes with the mosquito spray and hand disinfectant.

P7230003

Hand disinfectant, mosquito spray, sun screen and Mucoff chamois cream. The same sh*t as Assos, but it just happened to be available in a shop once upon time. These are in left pocket of Carradice.

P7230018

Tools are a little more scarce than previously as I dropped Power tap and shoelace tools. Otherwise nothing new here.

P7230005

Right pocket has some plasters, packable backpack, Petzl headlight and reflective vest. Vest was renewed last year with some reflective cloth. I did it myself and you can see it from the result.

P7230024

Then some spare everything. A Garmin 820, Sinewave beacon dynamo light, cables likely to break or get lost and a last resort power bank. Hopefully I’ll only need the Polar V800 charger once, but that might be wishful thinking.

P7230034

In the Missgrape framebag I have chargers, spare tire, bicycle tool, universal tool, spare phone and basic hygiene items. Also Sbh-52 handsfree for listening to music will initially be there.

P7230026

Missgrape top tube bag will have a work glove and spork. It and right side Apidura food pouch will be dedicated for food most of the time.

P7230023

Finally the merino jersey’s pockets will have wallet, Xperia X compact phone, musette and Olympus TG-5 camera. Rightmost pocket with camera will also have some coins to save time during fast stops.

 

 

 

Seuraa Transcontinental racea

Transcontinental race 2018 #tcrno6 ajetaan Belgiasta Itävallan, Slovenian, Puolan ja Bosnian kautta Kreikkaan. Tapahtuma alkaa sunnuntaina 29.7. Mukana on kolme suomalaista.

Reitin pituus on noin 4000 km ja aikaa on 16 päivää. Osallistujia on vajaa 300, joista suurin osa ajaa yksin ja noin 30 pareina. Osallistujat ajavat ilman ulkopuolista apua eli myös kannustajien internetissä antama apu on kielletty. Kannustaa saa, mutta ei vaikuttaa suoritukseen.

Sigma Rox 12.0 is unsuitable for randonneurs

Disclaimer: I bought the Sigma Rox 12.0 and returned it within the 14 day cooling-off period. I rode a 200 km commute, tested it for various routing options and rode a 1200 km brevet with it. This post is made based on the initial firmware version that the device was released and shipped with. These issues are hopefully fixed in later versions. But right now. If you are a bikepacker or randonneur and you see the device, turn around, run and don’t look back.

There is already an excellent review by Dcrainmaker, if you want to know more, go check it out. There are many things right in the device, but here are the fundamental flaws:

  • It does not show your route
  • It does not support routes over 300 km

It doesn’t show your route. Greetings from the engeering orgy. You have to navigate, you can’t just see your route. Not only does routing slow down the device and waste your battery, but you are also likely to be directed off route. There is a red line indicating the correct route, but it is mostly obfuscated by a green line where the device tries to lead you. Brevet organizers and various types of long distance cyclists spend incredible ammount of time and effort to make their route, but Rox 12.0, as of now, doesn’t support showing that route on screen.

It also doesn’t appear to support route waypoints. Good luck spotting those controls. It ”smoothed” out all the controls from our brevet route anyways. Having a navigator and having to check your phone for route is, well, stupid.

It doesn’t support routes over 300 km. You can upload a longer route and view it, but when you start a course it says there is a 300 km limit. This may sound trivial, but I hope next example help you understand the problem. Imagine you are in the middle of a ride and you need to download another route, but it is over 300 km. At that point you can do nothing with it. If you were at home you could always use simple gpx to split your track. But imagine doing it with your cell phone in the middle of Durmitor at night, in rain and dead tired? I had to juggle a route with a memory card to my spare navigator when primary device run out of battery and I had forgot to push one route segment to the spare device.

There is absolutely no reason why Rox 12.0 couldn’t support longer routes, or automatically split them if that is required. There is also no reason why users should adapt to device’s arbitrary maximum distance.

The green line is what Rox guesses I want to ride, ie. result of routing. And Red line is the actual planned route. Depending on quality of your map the green line can be completely off route.

Things to fix

I have returned the device because I didn’t feel like doing product testing for Sigma. In my communication with their customer service there was no realistic timeline of when these fixes would be available.

Anyways, the device is great. It really deserves better software so here is a short list things to fix.

Battery saving mode timeout. Right now the device goes to sleep (continues recording with screen off) by press of power button and wakes up from another press. So you have to remember to put it back to sleep. Also waking it up can be tricky. Any button, or even press of screen, should wake it up.

Per screen map zooms. You can have a map in any of your data screens. Yet if you zoom one map, all maps are zoomed in all screens. Allow different zoom levels on different screens.

Long press of buttons to zoom in/out. By far the most annoying thing to do with navigator mid ride is trying to press those too small +/- buttons. The side buttons now scroll through data screens. With a long press you could zoom in (left?) and out (right?).

Zooming of elevation screen. Well. Simply allow user to set the x and y of the elevetion screen.

Fix gpsies integration. If you have the device you know what I mean. 🙂

There are many other things that need fine tuning, but mostly the device is really good. I didn’t see any hick ups during a 500 km exercise. Battery life was as expected.

And finally. The device isn’t worth much as long as I can’t see my precious route (and maybe my waypoints too). So allow me to stop routing and just display the route. Period.

ps.

Your routing is only as good as your map source, in this case Openstreetmaps. It is not the devices or routing algorithm’s fault. This pedestrian crossing was routed to with ”+major roads, -unpaved, -paths” setting. No navigator can do magic if map source isn’t right. So please go contribute to Openstreetmaps when you find errors.
