I have been spudding around looking at different events and can't help thinking that pricing seems to be getting out of hand ! A couple of examples : The Transalba - £235 Trans Atlantic Way - £380 Could it be that I am getting so old that everything seems expensive or not appreciating the cost of or...

Postie delivered a pair of Ejendals Tegera 295 waterproof/thermal gloves, testing on the Badger Divide this weekend

Where are people buying 2018 Continental Tyres ?

I have been using the CrossMax Protection 2018 model recently and have been very impressed, now looking for
the RaceKing 2018 model but I can't seem to find them in the UK.

I rode it last year and it was a fantastic route Based on the 2018 route, what bike / tyres would you recommend? I've heard a hardtail with fast rolling rubber is a good option... But I suppose in April the weather could be quite 'dynamic', which might dictate tyres. That's an interesting question ...

As Craig has said the route starts in Naples this year.
I rode it last year and it was a fantastic route, really enjoyed it, started in Rome at the Colloseum, went through Bologne, Florence, Verona and
finished at the northern tip of Lake Garda.
Plenty of ice cream

There is a nice bird hide behind the beach at Holkham if the weather is not good

Lol Chickenlegs will tell you I did that exact same thing there. I can vouch for Dave sinking in that bog and he went in a long way, I only chuckled a little bit as he looked a bit p***ed off, not many minutes later he went to extreme lengths to get cleaned up by throwing himself in a raging torren...

Has anyone ridden the Adriatic Crest Trail that is detailed on bikepacking.com ?

Any useful info would be gratefully received.

Where is the fun in 40km of dry dusty trails
Muck and bullets is where it's at, get ready to dig in boys

Cheese and onion please

I recently sold a Terra Nova Saturn and a Nemo Gogo which had not been used for a few years.
I much prefer the Lunar Solo which is light and packs down well.
If you and your gear is wet a hooped bivvi is not a great experience.

The Red & White kit will be plus VAT and import duty, maybe !

When I rode the Badger Divide route from Inverness to Glasgow I caught the overnight train from London Euston station to Inverness which gets you in at 8.30ish in the morning and no extra charge for the bike. The sleeping berths are not particularly cheap but it is a good way to travel to Scotland w...

Thanks Chew, thats helpful.

I am looking at riding from Calais to Amsterdam and back to England via the ferry Hook to Harwich. A quick look on Google maps shows a route up the coast including ferries and bridges, has anyone ridden this route and got any views on it as a suitable route or have something similar more bike friend...

I rolled up behind a very wet Wolverine on the Rail Trail, Idaho and didn't realise what it was at the time, which is probably just as well as I probably wouldn't have got so close

Very good web site and no doubt the magazine will be equally as good but would you pay for it ?

Very true Gairy, racing takes you to places physically and emotionally that ordinarily you just wouldn't get to and I love it, a window to the soul

Thats probably because last time you were up there we were knee deep in snow
