I'd say pop in for a brew but I'm working/staying in Reading tomorrow for the rest of the week.
Currently hosing it down again as I type.

Going by this morning's rain I'd take the road bike.

Re: Aggression from others spoil your ride?
The pub landlord didn't want our short during the Teddy Bear Bones one year at Penmaenpool, he might own the other pub you mention too.
Our group of ~8 families didn't eat there, would've been worth his while with all the hungry kids.

Can't believe nobody has taken these, mine are ace for winter, shame I'm a bigger size otherwise I'd have a spare pair.

There's another carpark just down the hill at the dam that's usually empty.

Re: Riding on Monday?
I'm choosing to work, although I might ride in.
I've only got meetings with other trades before work starts proper a few days later.
It is a discretionary B/H but I know the wife's staff are expecting the day off.

Re: What's the default GPS recommendation nowadays?
I used to have the Oregon 550 which was pressure screen and that had no issues in the rain. When I moved to the Oregon 700 I did have the same rain issue to start with but I found a screen sensitivity switch hidden in the menu somewhere and never had any problems since with rain/sleet/snow.

Re: What's the default GPS recommendation nowadays?
A touch screen is essential, I'd prefer a larger screen but can live with something small if it's bright, and I'm pretty sure I'd still like replaceable batteries but I can be persuaded otherwise. Based on this I would suggest a Garmin Oregon 700 Seems my preferred for most bikepacking rides Screen...
