The anker charger units are great. I have one of the 15000mAh ones (http://www.amazon.co.uk/15000mAh-Portable-Ultra-High-Capacity-External/dp/B00D5T3QK4/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1384961810&sr=1-3&keywords=anker+charger) It has enough juice to charge GPS and Phone about 8 ti...

I recognised you on their instagram feed! I was supposed to be starting the advanced course today, but due to a quiet spell with work, I can't afford it. Though they have been vaguely exciting and let me keep my deposit towards another course next year. So I'll be there at some point next year. Can'...

Maybe look into aero/tri bars, that you could cut down to length?

Not making bread then? ;) Jokes! Yes, I do bake bread, sometime in the house, sometimes in the cob oven out in the field, about once a week. Most of my hobbies seem to be outdoors. I guess that's a result of working indoors, I always want to be outside as much as possible. I also recently learnt ho...

I think my main indoor hobby is drinking!

I bought Route Buddy, and wish I hadn't, it's really fiddly and tricky to use, and slow to load tiles etc. The only thing I can see it being useful for is joining/splitting routes. I use http://ridewithgps.com/ for all my route planning these days. If i need OS for reference, I use bing maps and cho...

Great bike the crosslight, I have one too, in white. done upwards of 2000 miles on it and changed nothing except the brakes.

Yeah, get well soon mate. PP just sent.

I wanna do this!

Sounds like Neil is very lucky not to have been a lot worse off. My best wishes go out to him for a speedy recovery.

Ha, I pointed it out to you on the right as we rode past it! You must have been knackered!

Dave and Gareth came in after myself, andrew and neil. We used the clock in the Tipi, but afterward I noticed the time on my garmin was earlier than the clock said, and i looked at the garmin a while after we got back. We were stupidly tired! My strava elapsed time registers 20h 32m, so all three of...

Once I forget about dragging my bike up that rock face, all the memories will be good ones!

^ That's the same cow that was standing right in the middle of the track when we rode through there.

That was an amazing ride. Still a bit lost for words, but I really enjoyed it overall! The "Grassy Banks" at the end were pure evil, but I made it up. Finished in 20h 32m, which I was happy with! Was great to end up riding as a group with Andy and Neil, thanks for the company for the entir...

Stuart,

Do you want a couple of bags of logs? I can chuck some in the car and bring them... Might help out a little.

Same thoughts here, stopping makes continuing suck!

Lets start a rollcall: Zippy - Will be there with a blue mazda 323 and a cube bicycle, Aiming for 4pm ish. FLV - About 4pm, Silver Golf, Silver Kona Mountainbaker - About 4pm, Silver Golf! Triton Ti 26er. Blackhound ..quote and add/edit as necessary. Shall I bring my barbecue and some charcoal? Cou...

Anyone know who the chap is that works at Skyline cycles at Glyncorrwg? I chatted to him a few months back when I was there, about BB200, which he said he's doing... I stupidly didn't catch his name. Is he on here?

I might make some SPD wellies.

Are we getting the route today?

Some non-UST specific tyres will work, though I've had little luck with any, the bead tends to be weaker, so doesn't lock so well to the rim. Watch some of the video on youtube about setting it up, using soapy water etc. Having access to an air compressor makes the whole process a lot easier. It's a...
