It’s been a couple of years since Jeremy in the Rome office wrote about Komoot, and it’s taken me until now to start using it to plan and track my own cycling.
Saturday we cycled from Tyne Valley to Northam to Ellerslie and back to Tyne Valley. It was a beautiful day, and but for a somewhat muddier Confederation Trail than we’d have liked, a gentle ride of 15 km. We celebrated with a burger at Moth Lane.
Yesterday was our biggest cycle training day yet: 21.2 km from Brackley to Dalvay and back, on the path through PEI National Park. We had a heavy crosswind, but we made it. We celebrated with a burger at FiN.
(We need to decouple cycle training from hamburger eating.)
As I write this, here in Stratford, Lisa is working out with her coach nearby, and I am camped out at Starbucks, warming up (it was 2°C when we left the house).
Komoot does all the things I need: plans cycle-friendly routes, provides turn by turn voice navigation, tracks speed and distance.
Our longest daily distance on our upcoming cycle through Belgium is just over 60 km, so we’re going to gradually work to increase our training distance as the trip draws nearer.
