But what is WANDRER?

STRAVA Wandrer app

Sorry, is local legends too boring for you? You could instead use this free site https://wandrer.earth/ which gamifies the opposite of local legends and rewards you for going to new places. You can even donate to the developer if you were feeling kind. This is more of a Global Legends or non-Local Legend feature!

Here we can see the travels of the mysterious Athlete3647, who is one of the leading athletes on the STRAVA leaderboard and who has covered an impressive 0.0899% of the Earth’s roads. S/he is 8th on the overall leaderboard and you can see some of their stats and also where they’ve been on a bike (allegedly). These travels look highly impressive and the traveller in me wishes to emulate some of these great routes one day.

It’s also an interesting site for route discovery. If you look at where some of the leaderboard leaders have ridden then you will find that many have done some of the more epic routes around various countries and, perhaps, you could use some of their routes as an indication of just the possibility of rides, say, on the coasts of Scandinavia or across Europe.

Me? I’ve racked up an unimpressive total of 245km of new roads this entire year and don’t even qualify for the leaderboard. I keep plugging away though and WANDRER tells me how many new KMs I do on each ride,like this

My favourite kit and nutrition

  • Injinji – Runners protect your toes. Avoid discomfort and minor injury. Run more. Run faster. I use them.
  • Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — The small adapter that keeps your charging cables tidy. Essential for race day. I use one.
  • Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session. I use one.
  • Ravemen FR300 — Front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters. I use one.
  • Body Glide – The blue anti-chafe stick that all swimmers and many runners use. I use it.
  • Maurten — The race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mixes engineered to be easy on the stomach. I use them.
  • Garmin Varia RTL515 — A radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch. I use this model.
  • Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — The power-meter pedals most serious cyclists choose. Accurate, easy to move between bikes. I use this model.
  • Garmin Forerunner 970 — A serious choice for a pro-grade triathlon watch. I use this.
  • Polar H10 — My daily driver for accurate, waking HRV readings.
  • Wahoo ELEMNT Roam 3 — The bike computer that has the feature Garmin lacks: usability. I use mine on most rides.
