There's a nice little park, really close to the south terminal...

But it's right next to the main A23, so might be too noisy

Well, if you're popping into Spar, they'll be reet grand for hanging you shopping bags on

Well 4.5 hrs of bimbling resulted in one unfeasibly claggy field (I've honestly never seen such a peculiarly structured soil) a puncture (due to a hedge having been trimmed) a temperamental pump that wouldn't produce any pressure, a mile or so of walking, and scrounging the use of a foot pump from s...

Thanks guys - you just cost me a tenner

I'm currently at a measly 6x6 (I have range, rather than density - and I'm sticking to that excuse)

I feel some exploring, coming on.

Thanks for the tip-off on the Polaris Fixies - very useful.

That looks like a great route, but how long has it been since Manchester took over from Birmingham as the second city?

Well, I've discovered that riding from Ryde to the campsite without going near any of those tricky 'moderate speed, but lots of blind corners' type of roads is harder than you'd think.

I think I've got it cracked, though, so I'll see any of you 'Boners' (Ooer) who may be attending, there.

Had to do a mental ride of the route to work out where we cross the A25 (It's been a long day!)
You must be in Redhill, then?

@jimbop - if you consider this to be "unfinished busininess", you're welcome to join us on Sunday, for a re-match

Cutty to Butty RIdes again

Sounds like you had a great day out, anyway - sometimes, getting lost adds to the fun.

BTW, when I read 'gravel caadx' my brain kind of spell-checked it to this

can you still get them?

The download tool for my Holux GPS unit also suffers from this - could also just be that the software for this and Bikehike haven't been updated for a long time, have lagged behind the ever-advancing versions of the Google maps API, and have effectively become deprecated. P.S. I've just checked a Go...

There are two diameters now though...

...depends on whether you have the dromedary or the bactrian

Welcome to the nipple tweaking club!

Had a look at mine last night. I realised I've been using it differently of late. Mine definitely came with two straps, one to hold the roll top as in your mod and the other to strap to the saddle. Funny enough, of late, I have been using a much larger saddle pack and sliding the alpkit bag in. Mea...

Just in case any body is interested in a MYOG style alternative, this is how I do it... Get one of these - be sure to get the type where the GoPro bit can be removed (look for the boltholes in the straight part of the bracket) https://farm1.staticflickr.com/822/40552087005_80e9ecc1de_n.jpg GoPro Mou...

" Looking at the description of the base, it seems that you can only slide the base on to the bars so not usable (or useful) on Jones Loop bars. The alternative base is little different to the standard Garmin one as it zip ties to the bar. " Another alternative: https://www.ram-mount.co.u...

I use a Ram Mount for my Garin 60csx unit (this is quite a large unit, but I got it incredibly cheaply, so I shouldn't complain) Apparently, these mounts are much stronger than the standard Garmin mounts, and I've not had any issues with mine, so that seems to be correct.

Mine goes int the pot, but it isn't conical (some may consider it comical, though)

I'd say that it's fairly important, as it makes for a single bundle of all things you need for cooking.

Hmmm, The main picture on the Alpkit page does suggest that it comes with a single strap, for attaching to the saddle rails. Mine may have been supplied with this (but I had it a few years and my memory is become rather suspect) and I may have removed it, due to using the bag in my Wildcat harness. ...

Very nicely done, Rich3rd. If anybody else is a tight as me - or just takes enjoyment from bodging something for a use completely different to that which the manufacture intended - then you could take the low-tech route...
