Re: WRT GR's
Does anyone else plan their trips around likely places to sleep? I've got a rough plan for day 1 but that's where my local knowledge dries up. Do a rough route with several bivi option spots in a similar area to each near food and drink options, especially if you are not taking food. Then link thes...

Re: The Welsh Ride Thing - Lonely Hearts Club Ride - Sat 4th May to Mon 6th May 2024
I can highly recommend any newbie to Bear Bones, to the WRT and to bike packing in general will have a brilliant weekend of riding with Reg.
He's one hell of a character and will guarantee a weekend to remember, that's for sure.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
As said above use a torque wrench and I wouldn't do it on a carbon frame
But I liked my Fat Aeroe rear rack so much that I bought a normal one.
Even when not in use I still leave them on the bikes
