How much longer left for Allen then do you reckon Bob. Best guesstimates, with all being well and him not lounging too much... Thanks... Go Allen, go :-bd I stopped in the same place - it took me just over 3 days to get back from there, but I suffered with heat one day, and had to bivi just before ...

The leaderboard has Jenny finishing about 8mins ahead… not sure how accurate that is

I’m with you on that Shaf, I hadn’t really thought about it until you said.
Recently I’ve been annoyed by YouTube adverts when I’ve been listening to music. So a timely nudge to people to support the bear is always a good thing

Noticed Colin Baird (on the ITT) is moving quite well

Busy at both Melgarve and Blackburn bothies tonight

The dots are converging on Tyndrum …… nearly time

Bikepacking.com have published a “bicycles of the HT550”

Quite surprised by how many bikes don’t have a rear mudguards
Thought there would be more

As I passed Tyndrum on friday, looked like someone starting a ITT…. Anyone here?

Not many midgies in Glen Nevis today, but it was a roasting day so that might bring them out

How about Tickless ultrasonic?

I had a water to go filter bottle. I found it impossible to suck through to get the water.
Used once and relegated to the top shelf of things never to be used again.
For me a pricey mistake, if anyone wants it they can have it

2 boxes with round things, new wheels from those lovely people @keeppedalling
Thanks guys

Wall to wall sunshine - Liquid sunshine!

Permethrin works but is toxic to aquatics Life systems do it in a spray Spray on clothes and allow to dry and it should be ok Another option might be Tickless, I’ve not used but seen it in action in the forests of Finland https://www.purpleturtle.co.uk/product/ultrasonic-tick-repeller/?attribute_pa_...

Bugga - that’s when we’re on holiday.
I’ve been to one before - loved it. I definitely came back more geeky

Not a bargain as such …. How much for a water bottle :shock: https://www.camelbak.co.uk/pages/podium-steel-and-titanium?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=paid_social&utm_campaign=New+Traffic+ad+set+1&utm_content=New+Traffic+V1&fbclid=IwAR1AxOLHsF0eqPzn6fLWqOuEeV4aj51hLrA5Rx_epEgw23QBgIKGhbU6v...

What a finish

Phew ….. got in there just in time

I’ve got an old salsa carbon fork that came with a frame I bought. Would need to check if boost, is that of any interest?

Spare Brand X dropper from Wiggle sale (£25)

Brand X droppers on Wiggle/CRC. I just got a spare for £24.99
Get them before the end of March, when they close

I will have a rummage, and PM you

Also consider blue flow wheels (Nottingham based). They build with hope if that’s what you’re after.
I quite liked their warranty when I was looking. In the end I’ve gone to DT Swiss rims and hubs, built by the Keep pedalling.
They’ve done all my current wheels and have been most excellent

Some wax, for new chain lube regime. Hot wax dipping is a whole new world to me

Might have, but depends … what’s your definition if wide-ish?

I’ve seen some different versions … have you got a link to illustrate?
