Hi mate

It is on UK Fatbike and UK Fatbike Club Facebook pages and we have about 9 people coming so far.

Having seen lots of fat bike meets around the country, I thought it should be East Anglia's turn. So i have booked a campsite for the Friday and Saturday night (with the option of Sunday if needed), there will be fat bikes, beaches, a Saturday night BBQ, barrel of Beeston Breweries finest and a camp...

After two manic weekends with Dirty Reiver and Dorset Gravel Dash, i'm looking forward to a quiet pootle along my local beach at Wells next the Sea here in the thankfully flay Norfolk plus a special 12% Mikeller bottle of stout ive been saving!

(that and UKIP losing all 50 seats......)

What about drop bar set up like on a Salsa Fargo, so the drop is level with saddle, therefore you have the wrist straight on the flared out part of the drop. I don't have arthritis, but i broke four fingers on right hand and snapped the tendon in my thumb and due to complications, have limited movem...

Surprising number of bikes rocking them at Dirty Reiver a fortnight ago and seemed one of the better tyres to resisting the many punctures i saw, been very impressed with my 2.0 Specialized Fast Trak on Fargo, really fast rolling and resilient.

Bit of a cheat this one for April's bivvy a month, slept in bivvy but "fully catered" on Charlie the Bikemongers Dorset Gravel Dash 50/50 ride, great route and beautiful scenery. Goat stew and foraged mushrooms, scrumpy and good banter for tea, thoroughly recommend it. https://c1.staticfli...

I'd take the light, so there's 2 of the 3 bits sold?

i did the 100 last year, big but great day out, doing the 50/50 this year with friends, so hopefully see others of you there (i'm the rugby lad on the red Fargo)

I'm easy to spot, i look like what i am, a rugby prop forward masquerading as a cyclist, will be on the newly shiny Fargo

Bearbones "mass pootle" to the cut-off pub it is then.... my AWSUM levels are definitely low. Charged my Garmin last in readiness and embarrassed to say i've ridden my bike 8 times this year, that's after 9000 miles last year, i'm hoping there'll be some sort of muscle memory and my legs r...

Cool, glad i'l have company!

Anyone else riding Dirty Reiver here? I've slumped from being the fittest i've ever been in 2015/2016 to having hardly riding for the last 4 months due to work and family doing it's best to make sure i'm either knackered or don't have time. Looking forward to it and dreading it in equal measure, i'l...

Would be very interested in the route too please

I'm doing the 60 miler on the Saturday and 20 on the Sunday, kinda felt like i had to enter as i won some pedals in their FB page competition. Looks good though and camping is £5 so not the silly prices some charge

I had this very recently, i live 8 miles from the coast and quite often ride from the popular tourist destination of Wells on Sea, so park my car on a quiet back street in the evening rode out and bivvy and then usually back by 9am to my car. The lady whose house i had parked outside (who owned one ...

I live in rural West Norfolk and was in the village my in-laws live in, the house on the road behind them used to have the old blacksmiths cottage, and we would always comment about what a nice please it could be and what a shame it had been left derelict, the roof had collapsed in one end and many ...

Cheap set of fat bike Novatech hubs from ebay and build on those, something like a Stans Flow rim which means you could use a 2.6/2.8 29er tyre to use a smaller tyre?

Scraped this trip out in on Friday 31/03 for March's effort, but taken me til now to post up. Trip to the coast to Burnham Ovary in North Norfolk see the seals and cause it felt right to raise a beer and spend the night in the bivvy and mull over Mike Hall's passing. Lovely night and great clear ski...

Business opportunity for Bearbones? The "German towel space reserving tarp?"

nly met Mike a couple of times, at Strathpuffer and a talk, but have always followed his flashing tracker at TCR, Tour Divide and the like, i sat there last night watching his SPOT tracker not moving and as i went to bed at midnight, the news was they thought it was a motorbike and that Mike was stu...

There is a YHA actually on the South Downs Way, which is literally 60 miles in from Winchester End, called Truleigh Hill YHA, it does both dorms and rooms, does food and has a bar?

It looks like Kristof may have hit a bit of a wall? He seemed to have stopped in quite an exposed place for 8-9 hours half way up a big climb as if he just had to stop? Will be interesting as to whether that long break will be what he needs to see him through now, or whether he really did hit a wall...

Hi Alasdair

I've just messaged you mate, i'd like to take this off your hands please.

Main thing to do is keep the shoulder, nothing strenuous, just keep the movement there otherwise thats when it will become frozen.

As someone whose been made redundant 3 times in the last 6 years and whose had to "tighten his belt" on more than once occasions, it's poor show to have to sell things you love and have worked hard for, so hope you get a good price for it and right job comes along, hopefully it will be goo...
