Re: RatRace Crossing - Am I missing something?
I don't see the problem. I help on some commercial road cycling trips which the customers could do for less money. They don't want to, they'd rather pay an extra few quid and have knowledge that the riding for the day is viable, the route is a safe one, and when they get to the end of the day there ...

Re: Peak District ITT. developing one
Cave Dale will be a joy at the end of a long day.also I remember much of the night section being roads or forest tracks whereas a lot of this route is 'proper mountain biking' have a good think about how you will cope with that when tired/sleep deprived...

Re: Peak District ITT. developing one
Quite tempted by this! Don't know the area at all so hard to judge timings etc as have to be back at work down South on Monday. Is it likely to be similar riding time to BB200 do you think? Not done the BB200 but the bits I know of this route, (70% of it) there is little hike a bike. Should be doab...

Re: Peak District ITT. developing one
OK, up for that then.That's for individual riders to decide. Would be a start at 10am(?) and finish when you finish.
Usual ITT 'rules' apply

Like the stuff on the "modern" brake systems.

Re: Highland trail 550!!
I've experience of running lightweight tyres in races. Great in theory, not so in practice.Fit silly light tyres

Re: Are you happy with your bar end shifters?
Bar end shifters I really rate.
I've used them, and my boy has a set on his bike after breaking a set of STis.
Virtually indestructable, I prefer using the non indexing shifting.

Re: HTR filling up fast - anyone racing?
I put my name down.
Whilst I like the idea of doing it at a leisurely pace, realistically i've not got the time for pottering round.
I'll not be on the podium, but will hopefully get round in 6-7 days.

Re: Blizzard Bivi Bags?
NIce one found it. Looks like they do work. I'll give one a whirl.Someone has posted about these and their experiences of use. Have a search, was a while ago.
Think the upshot was they worked, had some limitations but a viable option, if only in extremis.
Cheers Rich.

Re: Blizzard Bivi Bags?
Agreed that the 385gms is quite heavy though it does look that you might actually be able to get some sleep in it. They're supposed to offer a fair bit of insulation.

Blizzard Bivi Bags?
Has anyone used one of the Blizzard Bivi Bags? They look like they would offer a good weight saving as they are a combined sleeping bag and bivi. I know condensation would be a problem if you were going to use it, and they probably wouldn't offer a night of luxury, but if you were going fast and lig...
