I used Continental CrossKing 2.2" on Hunt 650B Adventure Carbon on my Kite for the Dartmoor 200 ITT at the weekend. Never gave any concerns on the rough and rolled well on the smooth :-bd https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51495667076_bcb91ed256_n.jpg Dartmoor 200 ITT by Andy Wright , on Flickr

A late change means that I'm now free to join the party

After a highly entertaining journey, due to the A1 being shut, I'm currently sat in the hut drinking a beer. Unlike me, I hope you all remembered your Smidge... 30mph average up M1 but here in time for beers and sandwiches. After being nearly skinned live by midges last week in the peaks, have net ...

350km, 7200m over 4 days, with a telling off from Dee

I had a reminder today that it was three years since I rode the SDW and 2017 was probably the last year I could really get out and enjoy riding, with the the fitness required to do silly things like BB200 on a singlespeed fatbike :smile: 2018 and on has seen me away with work and hotel living and la...

It's a lovely Friday morning and the Topstone is ready for some weekend adventure. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50225413338_f7759be548_w.jpg Ride day by Andy Wright , on Flickr Having been restricted in Ghana to just the Badboy and no chance to call by home to collect one of my other bikes, o...

Now that is very nice Andy, enjoy :-bd Wrote this earlier on fb https://www.facebook.com/1684442433/posts/10215919113645766/ Took the Topstone out for a proper test this morning and it didn’t disappoint. Stole the route from Strava and it turns out the ride was originally done by a local gravel leg...

Cheery day really started yesterday when I collected the Cannondale Topstone Carbon Lefty from a LBS between Toronto airport and Peterborough, ON. That in itself was an achievement as it took a few emails to convince Myles that a guy in Africa really did want to buy a new bike, with all the accompan...

Today's ride was brought to you (me actually) by Strava suggested routes. I asked for a 120km ride, any elevation and on dirt. The first one up was 119.7km, 1,808m and 6h 6m. The actual ride turned out to be 123.2km, 1,707m and 6h 47m moving time. I've never yet been let down by this feature, even i...

I couldn't see the panda but I'm sure this isn't Arthur Brown

Picked up some useful upgrade parts for the Bad Boy during our maintenance trip to Germany. Went from the original 3x8 2014 groupset to a 2x10 GRX set-up, with 46/30 front and 11/34 rear. Suits the bike perfectly and with the 35mm Conti CycloXkings makes a great dirt road bike. Woke at silly o'clock...

how do you like it?

I like it a lot. It's small, fits in a carry-on suitcase well and does a great job. Having a stainless steel body means its not the lightest but then is unlikely to get damaged. I've taken it on the bike a few times but find Taylors coffee bags much easier.

I have a Rhinowares hand grinder, purchased at the Adventure Show a few years ago. It travels with me around the world, along with a dripper. Here are the local beans about to made into my breakfast coffee fix :cool: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49944604637_61843f1a28_w.jpg Coffee setup by An...

On a more Serious note a good skydiving friend was ex SAS, Nish did some serious sh!t in defence of our country. I’m quite sure he’d not been offended if he was still here, unfortunately he fell victim to the ‘regiment disease’ 500+ people attended his funeral, none of them would have been offended...

Take a look overseas. Spain, France, Italy have managed it. Or come to Africa where enforcement can be a little more forceful

Another late donation from my lockdown location in Ghana

Over Christmas 2018 I brought a 2nd hand Cannondale Bad Boy from FB whilst in Dallas. I used it to do a popular 500Km challenge in all weathers and then had it taken back to Ghana in Jan 2019. I've used it once last year for 35km ride but otherwise its sat in the spare crew apartment gathering dust....

Today saw a daring mission where I may have accidentally trespassed on some MOD land, Kineton base is the largest ammunition dump in Europe apparently so i was very careful not to upset anyone, I imagine they could get a little twitchy. That was on my list today. Though I just followed the 'Battlef...

RIP's stealth bedtime preparations on last weekends bam

Morning,
For those driving to Long Buckby, parking at the station is £9.60 for two days, or free outside the ruby club 200m up the hill into the village. Weather for now is cool but dry

HS2 route is about 2 miles from here. Pity we'll need to get to London or Birmingham to use it.
Of course if the Great Central line was still open

I'm up for this :wink: Here's a few pictures from along the proposed route :lol: I rode through both these below last week and didn't get sink up to the axles. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49017774011_af3959f120_w.jpg Mud by Andy Wright , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49017997...
