stockton beach 4x4 trip

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

so we decided to try and test the limits of a volvo xc90...

we got bogged....repeatedly.

up until now our testing has served us well and its done much more than we ever imagined from a soft roader but when you flog an engine and a drivetrain for kms along a beach, things start to let up, namely the not so super-duper automatic 4wd engagement unit. i fail to see what's so hard about having a switch to lock it in rather than it thinking for me itself. so the floormats came out along with the spade and the tyres went from an already low 20psi down to 15 and eventually we got out.

fatal accident?

I was just about to send my write up this morning when I spilled a cup of water over my laptop Sad!!! Not sure if it has survived this accident but am hoping for the best!

It switched itself off after I spilled the water over it. I tipped the water out an tried to dry it with a towel and the blow dryer. Smiling (No comments necessary, thanks! Eye-wink)

Can anybody tell me how I could increase the survival chances of my computer?? Should I just plug it in tonight and see what happens or wait longer for it to dry propperly??

Cheers
Caro

Garmin Edge help

Any words of wisdom on how to de-gunge an Edge?

2 hours riding in mud and rain today seem to have taken its toll and now I can't get the start/stop button to depress. Lovely record of the ride including the drive home and every step I have taken with it since. Clearly hindsight is a wonderful thing - water proof does not equal grit proof, which is what I am assuming has got under the buttons :-/

as if a training ride in the rain wasn't enough punishment.
