Just updated so I'm ready for the trainer gets here (I haven't even had a dispatch email yet)! The new routes look great and I'm impressed with the 5 (?) new start points making 6 in total. When I was last on it was getting a bit crowded down by the pier. Looking at the Alpe, is it just me or can you imagine a back route off the Alpe down to the sea then a long flat route hugging the coastline?

That trainer that was supposed to arrive yesterday... I was told today it's out of stock. Raging. If anyone wants to read the full story it's here: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/consumer-advice-needed.232775/

Suppose I'd best feel the wind in my hair for a bit longer!?

I bought a power meter there that was 'in stock'. Paid for it then got repeated emails saying delivery delayed blah blah blah for about 6 weeks. Was much cheaper than elsewhere so put up for it for a while until I cancelled. Since then I've seen many folk highlighting their cheap prices and many others commenting on bad customer service.

What happened when you cancelled? I presume money back because it hadn't arrived. Trouble with mine is I got my trainer, it just broke and then they promised me everything short of a Knighthood.

Yup I got money back.

quite a few issues about non delivery or delayed with that company. Wiggle is by far the best for orders and returns

I tend to agree. Although worth noting that tredz offer 12 month returns which is handy.

Worst for me if we’re naming and shaming is acycles. Give the impression of being British but are in fact French. Not a problem in itself but the customer service is appalling.

I've ordered once from them, never again. I sometimes use German sites. I think Bike24 has been bought by Wiggle just recently.

Did the Road to Sky route on Zwift tonight. About as hard as I thought it was going to be. Was hoping for something under an hour, which I got, so happy with that!

I think I'm going to be doing that a fair bit in the future, I have no decent outdoor climbs within around 30miles of me, so this is the best option I have really.

Note I think someone mentioned that there's a shorter way to get to the climb, though it may require a manual turn. I've been meaning to dig that out so that I can cut down on the junk miles to the climb a bit.

Just looked it up. Jungle Loop route with a manual turn.
