Feedback Post RASA: I bought the Bryton 320 and got a friend to send from the UK. Yes, it worked, but its not Garmin quality - there were glitches with it and the app. Plenty of features and battery life was good enough - but memory is terrible - its full after a couple of rides and then overwrites the older data. I needed to make extra sure that it was synced with the Bryton Active app - not always successful first time - and then delete all content. I lost one full day of RASA like this.

What do you mean "degreaser"? This sounds like bad experience talking 😛

Cardboard for breakfast - that's a novel approach! 😆

Thanks Peter! Yes, please keep adding - this is very helpful.

Thanks Grant - I wondered about the water issue. It doesn't help that I drink A LOT of fluid while riding. I think that my head does better in the heat than the cold, though. This week I decided to commit to this Oct's RASA - so I'll just have to prepare as best as possible.

Not 100% sure yet... but about 80%

I don't have a friend to do it with, I'm terrible with directions and if I do RTR then I miss this opportunity to do the summer RASA... I hear you that I should walk before I run, but, hey, it's all an adventure, right?! (Clearly I have too much bravado sitting here safely on my couch) 😆

Are you training for Oct RASA?

IKR?! I'm cycling fit but not bike carrying/climbing over fences/hike-a-bike fit... I wonder...

Janine Wencke. I've always wanted to do this ride and now seems to be a good time in my life, but... what does it take? Can I do it? Followed the ladies avidly this year. I prefer summer to winter but just found out that there is no summer RASA 2023, so now what?

How do you train like that?
