Yeah, I have done once a week for the last month! It's uplifting actually and the getting up gets easier! I've got a tight work and family schedule so fitting in long rides is pretty much impossible at conventional times. The dawn raid is great... quiet roads, great sunrises and a sense of satisfaction for the rest of the day!
Just twigged we've a mutual friend who you rode revolve with, Trevor.

I've tried Strava on a few android devices. Including an S6edge and an LG G4. It crashes a lot. It seems to be very memory hungry.

Would it be more reliable on an iPhone? My main phone is a Windows Phone and I'm coming round to the though that I'm going to have to give up on the platform, much as I love it. So I now need to decide between Google and Apple.

PURELY on the basis of Strava which is more solid? I don't want to start a phone war here and as I've built phones and spent most of my life reviewing them I think that I can make my own mind up on the other stuff.
Neither, get a dedicated cycle GPS.

Anyone got some 25mm 700 wintery tyre recommendations? Was looking at GP4 seasons but thought I'd see what others were rolling upon first.
Schwalbe Duranos, far better than 4 season or gatorskins

Passed 5 years at my current job last week.

In that time I’ve ridden in to work 721 times. This is a total mileage of 15,141 just to and from work, 3000 per year.

If you work out an average of 270 work days per year, I’ve ridden in 53% of the time. However, when you take out my extra time off for things such as a broken foot, work trips, days working from home type stuff its actually closer to 60%, or 3 days per week on average.

Fun fact for Thursday.

I drove. Would have braved the sub zero temps if I'd not seen the rain forecast for 4pm.

Will have to run at lunch instead.

Brrrrrrrrrr. The Garmin showed a low of -7.6.
Madness. This morning was about the limit I'd risk it at. Think it was around -2 when I left home, it was 0.5 in town.
