Hey, Have two unused, brand new in box inflatable mats to sell: [SOLD] Sea to Summit Ultralight, Regular size I bought this in haste just before a trip in Jan / Feb, before realising I wanted the insulated version. Didn't have time to return it then. Tiny pack size and weight. I find the insulated v...

Hey guys... Great to meet and ride with you all for a few days... I'll get my photos organised this week hopefully, but in the meantime, HERE is a film we made of riding the Trans Cambrian (100 miles from Knighton on the English border, to Dovey Junction, near Machynlleth) a few years ago, which con...

A third LHC! This will teach me not to ignore the forum until a few days before the event...! Are there gpx tracks for either your or Marks proposed routes? Just like to have a route* on me in case differences in pace, humour or dress sense lead me to be on my own... I'm fine riding on my own if nee...

Well I wouldn't go quite so far as falling apart ;-). Steady as she goes. I think (think) there's two LHC's at the moment: LHC-B+ and LHC-C (historical reasons, no time to explain). I'm LHC-B+ and Mark is LHC-C. Can't speak for Mark, but if there's only me in LHC-B+ in the end I don't give a monkey...

Do you have a gpx for this...?

If the LHC group is falling apart, this might make a good alternative for me also...

Not sure what time I'll be getting there and havent arranged anywhere to stay yet, but I will be coming over on the Friday ... im traveliing down friday night probably sleep in my car somewere For some reason that's obviously known only to me, I spent considerable time ...

Despite having signed up for this early on, due to being abroad, coming back, moving house and starting new work, I've only just looked at the grid references (I'm fairly sure it was the same story last time I came), so this route is looking like a nice option that means I don't need to sit down wit...

Haha, I did wonder if that's what you'd meant. Does it remove the sweary word or replace is with a less enthusiastic alternative??

Wow, that looks amazing. What is that stove/campfire thingy you were using? Is this going to be an annual thing? I want to do it! The stove is a Honey Stove Ti , which works well in a place with lots of dry wood, and packs flat. They do a cheaper steel version also. I'm not sure that the group star...

vaguely exciting! Some great photos. I like the way you've written the post, putting the photos into little groups, "riders," "camping," thorns," etc. and letting them tell the story with just enough words, rather than simply putting them chronologically. Thanks :-). I ofte...

He has a top hat that folds up as well (I kid you not)!

Hello... I've popped some words and pixtures up on the blog from the last month or so of riding the Baja Divide, in Mexico. It's 1,700 miles of mostly off-road route the length of the Baja peninsula, from San Diego south. The blog post is here . And a couple of photos (doing this on an iPhone, so ho...

Finally another post from Greece... I'll catch up with a third soon (hopefully..) The post is here , and a few photos to tempt you are... https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5600/30187827175_5bcbe6f9ef.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8672/29877717410_0e48ef5093.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5819/301...

The Instagram page is here, if anyone else is interested.

I've finally pulled together a blog post from the first week or so riding the Bike Odyssey route along the mountains of Greece... Some photos to whet your appetite, and more to come soon, hopefully. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8692/29836404912_8ebace5550.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8208/2987...

On this topic, is there a way of getting hold of the GPX track for the route, in order to ride it at a different time (i.e. not participating in the race)? I emailed them to ask, but haven't had any response.

Hey all... It's been a while since I've been around these parts but I'm finally off on another journey for a few months... All is explained in a short blog post here: http://www.uninspiredramblings.com/and-so-it-begins-again/ (plus some way overdue photos from the Colorado Trail, ome of which are be...

Hoping to be there

Ahhh - I did have a look at previous posts but couldn't spot anything! Great, hopefully see you there!

For those of you close to London, the monthly Tales of Adventure this Thursday 17th March features Mike Howarth talking about his 14 month bikepacking trip through South America in 2014. Mike will be showing a bunch of his vaguely exciting photos as part of the talk. Tales of Adventure is a monthly ...

There's a full gpx. route downloadable from the Bikepacking.com route page here (its made from the 3 IMBA files, with some added POIs).
