Re: Films to watch while isolating
I recognised a few places up this way, most notably the road up to the Stwlan dam and the road from Festiniog to Bala. I'm pretty certain Bwlch y Groes was in there too.

Re: Taking a knife to a gunfight.
My got to bikepacking bike is my rigid fatbike. Yes I have a 'gravel' bike but I don't see the joy in your whole body being rattled as your hang on for dear life on the rough stuff. The fatbike on the other hand is so comfy and feels great loaded up with bags. I've used the drop bar bike for bikepac...

Re: Virtual Winter Event 2021
Nicely done Mr B. Was good to see it in 'real life' as opposed to Geograph view!
Fair play on the running, I gave that poor show up after 26 around London!

Re: Rear light?
Thanks for everyone input, I really appreciate your recommendations. :-bd I actually went for none of them! I had my eye on Exposure and managed to find the Redeye. Its compact, and has numerous mounting options. It runs off the battery from the MaxxD at the front too and is super bright! https://li...

Re: Virtual Winter Event 2021
Went out to bag one of the GR's Sweary Dave sent me. Set off from home and the 15 mile loop took me 3hrs 30mins with 2000ft of climbing. The snow up on the mountain was a bit too deep and soft for the bike in many places so there was a lot of walking (and not cursing, promise). Here's the GR: A 6000...

Re: January's Virtual Winter Event 2021 (Covid lockdown edition) Jan 9th and 10th
I'm off out in a bit. Heading to one of the nearest GR's (6000 year old burial chamber) which is about 12 miles from home, of which 10 miles will be in the snow. We had a big dumping yesterday on the hills so it should be fun....

Re: Lock-down projects
I'm not sure how I missed this thread but here's my project from Lockdown 1. My typical shed with literally everything thrown in. It was so annoying to get a bike out, luckily I had a van at the time which the bike(s) lived in some of the time. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49930795907_24e5ef8...

Re: This weekends Virtual Winter Event - postponed
Don't forget that by putting a quote of the Boris 'rules' on here may not be the same for Wales & Scotland. There are some differences.

Re: January's Virtual Winter Event 2021 (Covid lockdown edition) Jan 9th and 10th
Will probably get the nearest one's to me over the weekend. As Wales has been in a lockdown since 20th December, I wasn't that confident at getting my loop done. I only said last night in a chat that it'll be a good one to do in the spring......

Rear light?
I'm hoping to get some help from you guys, I'm after a decent rear light. I did have my eye on the Exposure Tracer but the bracket sits loose on the chainstay after visiting my LBS and there's also a risk of it going into the spokes. Thing is as I use a seatpack there's no way of attaching to the se...

So is that the foamy stuff about 3mm thick that can be rolled?

Re: Sleeping mat cold spot.
As we're on the topic and not waiting to hijack the thread, quick question.... I was tempted to bag my first 'snow camp' the other night but jibbed out. If in a tent or under a tarp, what do you suggest going under the mat which would reduce the cold coming through? My mat is an Exped Lite 5M which ...

Re: winter cycling trousers ?
I use the Gore C3 Trousers. Can't fault them tbh. During this colder times, I wear some cheapo bibs under them and don't feel any cold at all.

Re: Todays ride
As the hills still had their winter jacket on I had to get out again. This time from the front door up Conwy mountain and up to Tal y Fan (where the snow was). It was a bit deep a fluffy in places but still so much fun. It was a mud bath lower down though... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50791...
