Not today - But yesterday
Not a ride - But a float

But Alec of here is on the water with me.
Here's one of yesterdays 3 drop run in Packrafts at Llangollen's Mile End Mill's play area

Three. And I've sold two others. I like the feel. I like the weight. I like the bare metal look. I like the fact that I can mistreat the frame by strapping bags to it and it comes up like new. I like the fact that I can buy custom Ti frames for much less than alloy and steel frames from some of the...

Cheers, that's one of the main reasons that I went with them. There was no talk of corner cutting it offing a cheaper alternative. It was all quality parts and materials, that's what you get and that's the price. Take it or leave it. And they are looking to expand their range with top tube stem bags...

Am a bit confused (not alot... just a bit). If its got a roll top closure then why the zips which seem to be high enough to be wanting to give access from the top section. You see I always assumed, but never knew for sure, that the roll top was such that it increases proper waterproofing!! Or have ...

They look very smart, look forward to seeimg them finished

Me too

17 miles (as the crow flies) down in Dorset 2 days before the Dorset Gravel Dash. The Gates belt drive on my 29er+ split apart with the flint in the claggy mud down that way. A guy with a pick up took pity on my have gave the the 12 miles lift back to my car. The next day was wasted trying and succe...

As Covid19 limits the enjoyment of going to the pub for a pre bivi meal or a cafe for a breakfast and lunch stop I've come to realise that it's time that I go for a for a full frame bag, this "need" has turned in to 2 full frame bags one for the Fat bike and one for the 29er+ As Wildcat have yet to ...

what is the sizing like on the outdry stuff ?

I'm normally a large jacket over a medium to large tee shirt. I have the medium jacket and it's perfect.
Although when I was a stone and a half heavier than I am now it was looking to be a bit tight with a fleece on underneath in the winter.

Thanks for all the replies. The Outdry stuff seems like the cheapest and most waterproof option. However I cant seem to find any jacket weights on the Website. There are four i can see that would fit the bill but i don't want to buy something that's as heavy as my mountain equipment jacket that i c...

Outdry update. Not for cycling and not for me, but we've just bought the wife this Outdry longer jacket for walking in, it arrived today. https://www.columbiasportswear.co.uk/p/womens-outdry-ex-mackintosh-jacket-1886673.html?dwvar_1886673_color=010&dwvar_1886673_size=M&lgw_code=16604-193553441847&&m...

What does the word "Bikepacking" mean to you? To me it's an escape from the normal, an excuse to exercise without feeling like I'm exercising as I hate exercising. I love watching the sky, clouds, stars and satellites roll past, watch the sun setting and rising. None of which (apart from the clouds)...

Fat bike BB bearings for £4 each including VAT from our local bearing shop
(got 2 as spare)

IMO - All* waterproofs need re proofing. They are great for 2 or 3 rides then you wash them, re proof them and they are never as good as they first were *Except Gore Shakedry Or the cheaper, but bulkier and heavier Columbia Outdry Both of the above are the only two water proofs that are fully waterp...

Fat bike (beach) route sorted..........

It includes a massive 3 grid refs........ which is unusual for me

I'm a medium is for now and the large may come in handy when I have to go back to.work and stop riding my bike as much

Can I collect.both on the Sunday morning?

Cheery news.

On the last Friday on the month, no word from work about going back from furlough....

On the plus side.... No going back to work at least for the start of August......

Nothing special to report on this mornings ride

John Moore - Medium please

And a second one because it's an vaguely exciting design
Not sure what size I've ordered for the event which I think I'll be collecting from you along with cake and tea on the Sunday morning please

That's exactly why I asked the question how I did rather than follow "that route"

Thanks all and thanks for the GPX Stuart

Can you recommend me your best off road but ride able route from Machynlleth to Barmouth please?
Is there a route with this section as a GPX that you can send me over please?

Good luck all of you nutters
