A long awaited return ride down the beach last night. I think this was first beach ride of 2019 and boy have I missed it! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48354632446_d06f102c05_c.jpg 20190722_185958 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48354760607_12668b288a_c.jpg 201907...

A good couple of laps of the Great Orme yesterday. My main reason for heading out was to cheer the 'dots' who's been riding the Pan Celtic Race from Inverness. I must admit I've been totally inspired by these riders who took on the 840 mile and 1480 mile course. The first place in the 1480 mile race...

All a bit messy imo!

Thanks! I enjoyed that from a bath! I didn't know this was a thing to do until I missed it! Case of the n00b!

Cheers, tbh this was my first one!

OK I know we're a couple of weeks after it but here's my (short) video from my over night bivvy in northern Snowdonia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MNzG2aXgR0 Also if you fancy looking at some basic words and a few pics click here >> >> https://fat-bike.com/2019/07/summer-solstice-bivvy/ Thanks,...

Iceland and yes there was quite a drop to the right!

Its a beautifully stunning place. The terrain is so different and alien like. A few pics, words & video (although some may have seen it before) from when me and John Climber went a couple of years back. https://fat-bike.com/2017/08/fat-bike-iceland/ I'd love to go back but I need to start saving :wi...

I'll be there, arm bands at the ready!
Fair do's John, it sounds like you've done some great work organising this

Got my solstice bivvy in last night. I could have dropped back down to the van in 30 minutes but I went higher as it was so nice this morning. Snowdonia... A good spot this.. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48108024317_1b7ab0c6f6_c.jpg 20190621_203259 by Jeff Price , on Flickr Bye bye sun. For i...

Good read! I'm usually found on: 1, Genesis Croix de Fer 10 (2016) with an SP Dynamo front hub. for the past few months I've been running 43mm GravelKings which cushions the blow nicely. I mainly use this for my commute but I've also had the odd overnighter on it which tbh I should do more of! 2. Sa...

The mileage these guys are riding is just wow!
I see that Mr Barter is in Butte scoffing on burgers in a Dairy Queen restaurant. Google maps is great for seeing where the riders exactly are...

Looks like I 'have' to head out tomoz as I've got a prototype bag to try out for a well known bikepacking company, not that I need an excuse!

Nice mate, you made it look almost tempting!

An interesting read....

I'm a fan of Gore Bike Wear and I've just bought a couple of new pants a few months ago. One is the Gore C5 which I think are spot on, very breathable and love it when the water droplets trickle down them. The other is a lighter pair which I think are from the Gore Running range. There seem good for...

.....away, good work jeff

Cheers, tbh if I left it, it would have lost a couple of pound over a few days and probably squeeze out of it. But I couldn't just leave it there.

Aye its a nice part of the world up there. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip there last year

Despite being off work for a week I finally managed to get out for a 50 mile loop around Snowdonia in whats known as the Bethesda loop taking in cycle ways, country lanes, some gravel and the worst bit about 20 mile of 'main' roads. I even saved a fat assed lamb who thought a small gap between a sla...

I've been lucky enough to receive some free kit over the last few years, from bags (yes Apidura ;) ) and bags from a few others too, an vaguely exciting bike and some other bits and bobs. TBH if any of it is crap then I won't use it, if its ace (imo) then yes I'll use it and plug it for them on the ...

What’s Karl been doing in Ft William overnight? Something feels not right

I'm sure the bike shop is down that way, waiting for it to open perhaps?
