I think you can add a workout and edit the date to be in the past but that would be massive faff for more than a few workouts. Can't see any option for a mass upload I'm afraid.

Dario Cecchini

Hadn't heard of this guy my whole life, now I've seen his name twice on the forum (previous time a direct recommendation to stop by his restaurant in Tuscany) in less than a week. We need some sort of Hipster/Golf Club/Dario Venn diagram.

I've started using the Strong app and that works pretty well for me. Set up workout templates and then also easy to add exercises/sets/reps on the fly if you do something slightly different to what you planned.

Well that was quick. First impressions, they're solid. Feel a lot sturdier than the QC35 II, I have a right melon head and they fit me fine. First 5 mins with touch controls and they're alright actually, sure I'll get used to them.

Might be better/truer sounding headphones out there but these are grand for me, 30 seconds out of the box they were connected and working, no fuss at all.

I'd love heated seats and steering wheel in my next car. Getting in the car after kitesurfing in the middle of winter the cold is in your bones, whacking the heating up to max just isn't enough. Last winter I took a hot water bottle a couple of times and lodged it in the small of my back for the journey back. Heat and extra lumbar support!

Just noticed they now have an Outlet section on their website...

Cheers, might be wasted on me though as I know the square root of fuck all about wine!
"Yeah lovely... very, erm... winey."

Just in time for eBay £1 listing too at the weekend...

I'm going to keep them. I was pretty happy with my QC35 II and reviews for the 700s are generally positive. Touch controls will no doubt be a faff and not as portable though.

Well that's quicker than I expected! Claim was approved on 2nd November.

Really like that, congrats! Re-map, de-badge for even more sleeper points! Wouldn't mind one of those as my next car, estate would be ideal but as you say the premium they carry is mad and the hatch is pretty cavernous anyway.

Noted and thank you! Never been, usually work through Christmas but decided on a whim to take the time off and go somewhere for a couple of weeks to get fat.

I've got a few saved searches so hopefully something pops up!

@Nef - given it's a leased car I'll be sticking to same size as OEM, no point buying a second set of wheels + skinnier tyres as I have no idea what I'll be driving second half of the year, maybe another lease maybe buy something, but that's another story. Totally agree with your approach though, if only I owned the car :)

@lynx - Florence then Montalcino, day trips around the area too I guess. Yeah if I buy 2nd hand it will be known brand, 3PMSF and at least 6mm tread. Very likely to be driving back through Switzerland.

Ta, a decent brand that's 3PSMF brand would be ideal, peace of mind if nothing else.

@skinny - yep, saved searches are up. Will also talk to a few local tyre places and see what they have.

They're 235/35/19, so buying new would be £600-800 for a set. Agree tyres aren't something you want to cheap out on, but if I can get decent quality used ones for what will be at most 3,000 miles then that's preferable. If it was a car I owned and not leased I'd buy a new set of winter wheels and tyres, no question.

The concern isn't so much driving in Tuscany, it's more what we may encounter on the way there/back, particularly the return leg as plan is to come back through Switzerland and western side of Germany. A cold snap over those couple of weeks and I suspect we'd be fucked, even in Tuscany. Although the Conti tyres are admittedly in very good condition, the compound is utter shite in cold conditions and I've got 300bhp through the front wheels.

On all-season/winter tyres, I've got a bit of a dilemma. Due to be driving down to Tuscany for a couple of weeks over Xmas, car (leased Seat Leon Cupra due back in May/June 22) has Conti SportContact tyres with loads of life left, I think it's a bit too much of a risk to leave those on for that trip so weighing up options:

1. buy second had pair of winters, get them fitted and once back put the Contis back on the car and sell the winters on. would mean paying twice for fitting.
   
2. buy very good second hand pair of all-seasons, get them fitted and leave on, hand back car with the all-seasons (fine with lease company as long as tyres are of 'similar quality' to OEM Contis).
   
3. buy a second hand set of winter wheels/tyres combo (not easy to find), swap the wheels myself and save on fitting, sell the winter wheels/tyres once done with them.
   
   

Thoughts?

You joke but something that looks like a minicab wouldn't be an obvious target for the opportunistic thief. Time for some Addison Lee decals and a TfL private hire badge.

^^^ 32:38 in a 10k for anyone wondering. Rapid.

I'm out, partner just got a positive PCR. Gutted, have a good one.

Same, not booked a return.

Also, looks like a slight northerly headwind, not full-on arctic blast but could be nippier than forecast suggests in exposed areas.

Will be on same train. No idea about mud levels, these are the only ones I have so they'll have to do.

Downloaded GPX from Komoot, let me know if that looks ok/works.

Not much colour but definitely a bit lairy.

those aren't Cinelli Mash bullhorns, they're the Cinelli Lola Bullhorn which were about 1/3 of the price of the Mash collab ones.

edit: of course someone beat me to it.

Same here, LHD just won it for me... just. Now, if they do a blue LHD then it'd be 'shut up and take my money' time!
