Re: Recommended me a tyre :)
I gathered that from your max clearances. My recommendations are based on what I've been using on my Cotic Escapade over the last 7 years.

Re: Recommended me a tyre :)
Have a look at the reinforced sidewall version of the WTB Resolutes. The grip is good for everything but thick mud, way better than lighter tread tyres like G-One Allrounds, Teravail Cannonballs etc. They roll pretty well too, not.awful.on.the road, and not too squirmy. Regular sidewalls are a bit f...

Really liked that James. For all the Achilles-related tribulations and dodgy bivvies, there's a real sense of the freedom that comes with having nothing to do except ride, eat, sleep. I'm feeling the need to get something (un)planned in the diary.

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
December and the calendar year ticked off. Optimism overruled the weather forecast, and I bimbled out into a mild and dry evening. I scoped out a new spot, and it was pretty nice. However, it was far too windy, and despite a decent tarp pitch, there was a lot of flapping and a resultant crappy night...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Hope it all heals up nicely Reg. Last night, we were reminiscing about the time Granny P had her retina repaired by the surgeon using a syringe to introduce a little air bubble into her eyeball. The bubble floated up inside the vitreous humour, and held the tear in place as it healed. Unfortunately ...

Sad to report that Outdoor Provisions are calling time on the business. They've got a stock clearance sale going on, everything half price.
