I'll be on the bike and pack raft again if anyone fancies a weekend ride and paddle without the stress of the full route above

That bike looks tiny. Was it?

Dug out of the corner of the garage, cleaned, prepped and ready for your event Stuart.

I understood every word of that until "pull the thing apart. As you can imagine, the motor was"......

Oh my god why didn't I do this when I started bike packing 12 or so years ago. I've never been a good sleeper outdoors, until last night....... Friday night and Saturday morning I had a good 9 hours of sleep at home (not the best to make me tired for Saturday nights bivi) But 3 nights before I chang...

2/2 done

I have 3 unsuitable bikes all of which are single speeds. My folding bike, which I have bike packed and pack rafted on the same over night trip - so that won't count. My comutter bike with its road tyres might do. But tucked away in a corner of my garage is what I would bring. A very heavy 26" beach...

Last call for tomorrow

Escape Goat

Barney
Myself

Possibly Paul (not on here)

And Jeff has bailed #StopBeingSoft

Had mine just over four years, first real test was Tour Aotearoa and always been happy with them and no issues. As above not great in rock gardens but on gravel or the roads around here they are fine. I seem to recall they came with a five year guarantee so I would hope any problem would be fixed. ...

I think we needn't worry.

The last thing their viewers would do is chill out and relax wild camping somewhere.

Downhill race watching and red bull drinking types wouldn't fancy getting out of their comfort zone too much for us to worry

Number 7 looks more like car camping to me.

Spotted that too, camp site maybe?

Just up to the right of that in Merseyside....

Today there's been hardly any wind a few gusts but that's it and the odd bit of "Bear Bones event" type rain but it's nothing compared to last weekend.

just ticking a box.

I thought you'd stopped ticking boxes John mate .

Good point, it's to test some gear before the season starts such as the Alpkit Kloke and my new pillow, these are the boxes to tick

Anyone up for a Merseyside wild camp next Saturday night 22nd February?

Late afternoon meet up short ride, chippy for tea, pub for drinks and away early on the Sunday morning for breakfast either at home or at a cafe.

Nothing epic just ticking a box.

Interested?

Very disappointed in this thread......

Prepping...... I was it was going to be a thread of ....

Bike packing faffing .... (Preparing for a ride).

I love a good faff ... Now there's a thread....

Carry on prepping

First check of Track leaders and Ian is in 2nd place.
Go on Ian

Do you think that the Acepac Bar Bag will fit my commuter bike single speed directly fixed to the bars and head tube and under the flat bars with angle down (a bit) brake levers, so that it won't swing around but won't interfere with my braking please? I've just measured between the outside of the ...

Stuart. Do you think that the Acepac Bar Bag will fit my commuter bike single speed directly fixed to the bars and head tube and under the flat bars with angle down (a bit) brake levers, so that it won't swing around but won't interfere with my braking please? To fit a set up like this? https://imag...

Cheers. I was thinking about just heading to an alterations place to have a quick chat. One little horizontal loop of fabric and then another loop of velcro and it'd be sorted. Cost saving does seem like the only reason for the change. They now talking about trimming the velcro at the front to suit...

Was planning to fat bike up the coast from Liverpool to Southport with a fantasic tail wind. Then jump on the train south (into the head wind) :-bd Unfortunately there's maintenance work on the line, so I doubt I'd be allowed to put my Fat Bike on a bus replacement service.... So I'll most probably ...

After 34 years of mortgage after mortgage, payments after payments Saturday next weekend will see us mortgage free.

So the (Amazon) postman brought me this book, this week

Yep that's 20% off in my maths.

Nice one Alpkit
