When you load your route again on day 2 it asks “would you like to be routed back to the start”, if you select ‘no’ and continue to ride the route, it will figure out that you’re continuing on and provide directions accordingly.
Just be sure you know whicg direction you’re heading when you rejoin your path, because the computer will send you back the way you came if you’re not paying attention
Hey mate, i have the same computer and used it for a recent trip.
I was lazy (and wanted to go off track at points), so had my main route (1500km or so) as one long file. I would turn it off every night and every morning turn it on, load my route and start recording again. The computer would take a min to realize i wasn’t at the start of the route and would complain until it worked it out and navigation would continue as normal. Each day was saved as a different file in the history, but that was fine by me, i believe there are tools online that can stitch all the files into a single one once you get back home if that’s what you prefer.
Hope this helps :)
I don’t know how true it is these days, but it used to be Crossfit

Hey dude, this post was perfectly timed!
Not to bore ya with my life story but in the past 3 months i quit my job, got rehired as a contractor for a month, packed up my life to move countries and ive just finished a 2 week bike tour (deets+photos+vids later) which i managed to sneak in, in all the chaos. I mention this as a bit of an apology for the radio silence.
Love the idea of adding “bikepacking” to the comm. I literally made this comm cause of the old description of /bikepacking and the perceived snark in their comm at the time, like the aformentioned comments about panniers.i assume it was all banter, but i love the freedom of cycling, and wanted this community to be as open and welcoming add possible
In terms of the dedicated comm for touring, i defs understand the hesitance, but i will be sticking around and trying to champion this comm moving forward. After the initial surge from reddit, i think a lot of people went back, but personally i would rather see a few posts here, then ever use that site again. i also think the nature of touring means that were going to have big content droughts over the northern hemisphere winter regardless.
I like the idea of cross posting, perhaps we can reach out to the mods over there to ensure they’re happy for us to do so too.
anyway it’s 1 am and I’m cooked, hopefully this comment makes sense :)
They aren’t crap at all, stop projecting your opinion as fact.
At worst they’re niche, but provide tangible and easily understandable benefits that you might not care about that others love. That’s like me hating on the newest Samsungs camera, just because I personally don’t value mobile photography.
Your complaints about durabilitu are pretty tied these days, the technology has improved a lot and you can realistically be as careless as you can with any other cell phone. There are valid concerns , such as Samsungs issue with hairline cracking along the hinge, but you can stop parroting points addressed over the past 5 years now.
Mad respect for answering this and not causing an xkcd moment
Hi cycling commuter and weekend bike packer here, welcome to the club!
Before we start I just want to warn you that cycling, while a simple hobby is full of money sinks and gear envy. It’s very easy to spend 10x more for something marginally better, I only mention this now because it took me way too long to figure this out.
On to gear recommendations:
A good lock - this should be at least 10%the cost of your bike, also make sure to learn to lock your bike properly (not just through the front wheel)
Spare tube(s) - while I agree a patch repair kit is great to have, repairing a tube when you’re late, it’s cold, and miserable is a hellish experience. especially for newbies, id recommend carrying a spare tube instead and just changing that. That way you can patch your original tube in the warmth of your home with a cuppa, much better experience. Swap it back when you’re done and you’re gravy.
Gloves - Everyone falls. Everyone. Gloves not only make your ride more comfortable, but they also protect your palms on the event that you scrape them after a tumble (I write this with scraped palms after not following my own advice and falling last weekend)
A basic repair kit - puncture repair, tyre levers, pump, multi tool w chain break, zipties and a metre or so of duct tape
Sunnies - bike specific glasses are a scam (at least for beginners), just have a pair on the bike at all times. This will make riding at dawn/dusk and in the rain more comfortable. Id recommend polarized with a fairly light tint, too dark and it’ll be hard to ride in the rain with them.
A bike bag to store it all in - nothing fancy just good to have things off your body and on the bike so wouldn’t recommend a backpack. This is the first place where you can spend a lot of money, but a good bike bag is never a bad investment.
The more you ride the more you’ll come to realize what you need and don’t need, you’ll add a bunch to this list but I doubt there’s anything you’ll remove so it’s a good starting place.
Thanks for this, something to listen to over my lunch break :)
I forgot about Chinese balloons lol, did anything ever come about after that one was shot down by the Americans?
Nah “average” is fine, just using the wrong one here. Means are better for roughly bell shaped data sets. I’m the case above, looking at the median and mode would help understand the data better
“pretty phones over privacy” is a wild take ngl
Nice try hacker man!
I’m weeks late but I just want to let you know that given the context and blase nature, this comment had me in hysterical laughter. Thank you stranger.
Sorry let me be more clear, specifically an android app that has an announcement and can record the call with permission, or terminate the call without
Out of interest, what does you use? I have the Kensington expert but have been looking at the thumb operated options lately. Never had anyone to ask directly for opinions 😅
I read that as SMBC and was ready to throw down in their defense
Thanks for that I forgot they had released a whole new game in between, hopefully winter sale has a decent deal and I can give it a crack
I haven’t actually tried mhw on stead deck, does it run well? I bought the game (having never played one before) on a whim and fun with it for a few hours, seems like a great handheld game if it runs ok
I think this depends on what flavour of android you have. I can’t answer your question, but if you provide the phone model and os version, it should help whoever comes along and can answer :)
