I raced on the green Mud clincher last cx season. Very good in cx-style mud. Easy tubeless set up, they've still all the air in since the last race and bike's use in January. Wear quickly though. Going Vittoria Terreno Wet next. Pretty much identical tread, bit more hard wearing

I'll download it onto my gps just in case

this is cheap and light weight but robust. Ive used them on the trail without issue. Hidey place for a split link too [url]https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000295421779.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000014.10.71bf2dfaTILZRL&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.13338.142407.0&scm_id=1007.13338.1424...

Ive taken a few days off work and tomorrow getting the train to Dunkeld to try to main route

I did most of it in a day. It wont occupy a fairly experienced mountain biker - large parts are on road, off road is mostly tame (although memory hazy about that) and did it on the 33mm CX bke. Parts seemed convoluted doubling back for little benefit. Suggest doing the South West and then staying ou...

16ltr dry bag and saddle harness arrived today. Bag is cavernous, as large as any other saddle pack I have (aipidura, lumo, podsacs, alpkit). A very wide mouth for shoving stuff in. Thick material, heavy weight. There is a slight, very fine weave on the outside - I wonder if this will hold dirt more...

voile straps, carbon pole, acepac drybag and saddle pack harness

I use some merino socks and £6 decathlon swim shoes, about as light and packable as can be

someone's just shared a link on STW, which I find helpful. I now wont be camping on 3rd but in phase 3 https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-what-you-can-and-cannot-do/pages/sport-culture-and-leisure/ "Can I go wild camping? Not yet. In Phase 2 we are still requiring people to stay ...

So does that mean July 3rd wild camping is ok (Scotland)? That's how I've read it (if also maintaining distancing and hygiene measures) I see TJ is having a massive tantrum about this on the STW thread, and is being aggressively rude so I'm not interested in getting involved. Does anyone disagree w...

Luna Solo. Ready for hopefully ~ mid July

I think you have missed more than one

There is no equivalent clause in the Scottish regulations or associated guidance. I'm wrestling with myself over what I can/n't do currently, reading the regs and guidance for a steer. We dont have that reg but we do have: Restrictions on movement 5.—(1) Except to the extent that a defence would be...

Today I resurrected my old Dakota, tried to add a kmz file to Custom Maps, and failed. I thought I'd post on here for any help, and then found my post from 2013 about having the same unresolved problem then. Does anyone know how to get a kmz file onto a garmin that doesn't involve me launching it at...

I did it a few years ago. The Strava title was:
Death by a thousand gates.

Open a gate through cattle-churned ground. While doing so, looking at the farmers field you'll have to plow though and another gate at the other end of the field. And repeat

Not mine. There's a Super C Audax in eBay for £40. Most that go cheaper than than truly are mouldy

I bought this last summer but afraid i've not actually tried it yet. LanShan 1 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000303876219.html But it cost £66, partly due to a site-wide sale that Ali regularly have. It has a few ties and lines that are chunky and could be replaced with lighter lines. And I recal...

nb, I have entered the Highland Fling 1000

Apidura backcountry food pouch, small, £20.

I'll take this, please. PM your PP address. But it'll be tomorrow when I pay, not this evening, when I'm less drunked

Ray, I think it is worth getting the smart one from Halfords. Ive got that too. Dumb ones may as well be a £50 exercise bike / clothes horse. 'Grand Road Tours' is free to use - I've not set that up yet though so cant comment. If you get something from Halfords, I'll meet you with my British Cycling...

I read one report of that, I think on a Gravel FB Group, cannae mind the name.

The strap wasn't continuous, looped through the helmet inside, but a left strap and a right strap, which detached

Ah, nice one, thanks Jimmy

is anyone taking a vehicle from Edinburgh area for a lift for the petrol money?

Have you signed up for LEJOG yet? I am have a hard think about it and keep going back to its thread on YACF. Start and finish logistics are putting me off though
