I like it, look great. Was after two bomptons for next summer (well, was supposed to be this summer but money…!). They’d be great for our needs but at £2400 starting price, needing two is getting rather expensive :| Not sure about having discs on them, maybe more of workaround of the tyre width inst...

Mortgage renewed and wasn’t as bad as we were expecting

I’ll take that for a happy Friday (day late posting)

I see he’s on another trip out, 14,201 KM trip around Australia in 35 days

That’s over 400KM per day!

Good luck to him

And I don't understand those signing up for a race, paying £400 entry, and then claim they're touring. In my opinion they're either fools or are just trying to take pressure off themselves. I think they just enjoy riding with others and the occasion, pushing on a bit but not to the level of or the ...

Whilst we’re talking about OS…

I quite like this feature, works better in the hills rather than flat Cheshire (yeah, I know it’s novel and fairly pointless)

Not read the thread but

BBC 2 right now has an hour programme on Midges

Secret life of midges

Five days off, which isn’t as much as John :| Oh well :lol: Got a free day tomorrow, either walking or biking in the hills, but I get the car* for the day :-bd Not sure what I’ve got planned for the rest of the week but hopefully sometime with mini-voodoo Good luck Verena with the move *one car fami...

Been aiming to read a book a month but generally been light reading of motorcycle racers biographies or IOM TT stuff. So far I've read, Michael Dunlop, John Mcguiness, Hutchy, Ragged edge, Jason Plato, Shane Byrne, Niall Mackenzie, Steve Hislop and Ron Haslam. Possibly Zen and the Art... or Mick Gr...

Tyres aren’t cheap at the moment, so I’d keep it simple and ride what you’ve got to see how you get on

My trek procaibler has a 2.4 Bontrager XR3 on the front with suspended fork and my rigid Titus has 2.6 Barzo. Some days I wish one bike had the other tyre on it and vice versa

Update. I was told Download the GPX Go to the download Open it with OS Maps Job done Unfortunately, that hasn't worked on mine just now. Looks like I'm have to call their tech help one day That’s what I posted above? Are you on iPhone or other as I read OS App is best with iPhone - not sure how try...

From OS maps, they say

“On your mobile device select the gpx file and select 'Open with', then select OS Maps”

I can’t see an option on their app to click that says import, which seems a little daft to me

Nice little photo there Phil, you building up a SS gravel?

^^ So they’re keeping the trails open but closing the cafes, which seems a little odd as guessing the cafe would make the money to keep the trails open? I’ve noticed llandegla in the last year or so get a little bit quieter, but still seems busy with a lot of expensive bikes knocking around there. S...

That looks stunning Stu

I haven’t tried it for actually navigating whilst riding but for road and possibly ‘broken roads’, the cycle.travel app could work (and it’s free, so worth trying) https://apps.apple.com/app/id1619632879 I use Komoot to plan a route, then send it to the garmin out to finally upload it to my Edge 530...

Tailfin now at it

Oh yeah, sorry :oops: Just put the link up with no context, but looks like it’s been worked out. I was thinking it was the lap before but wanted to show a bit of the shoulder to shoulder racing :-bd Anyone else thinking that mountain bikers need to step up now for XC? Seems that whenever Tom enters ...

vaguely exciting stuff, can’t wait to see it on catch up tonight Pauline FP rode a fantastic race yesterday, totally dominated her ride and the crowds were deafening (or at least my volume was turned up!) :-bd Was worried for Lecomte yesterday, thought her crash was quite nasty and no update from th...

People never see the irony of sitting in a traffic jam whilst complaining about traffic jams holding them up.... Once suggested to a member of staff who kept using “I was stuck in traffic…” for being late that perhaps “they were traffic!” Got rather blank look back :lol: Horses for courses... somet...

I do the tube swap for them … You're doing it wrong. We're all doing it wrong. I've just ̶s̶p̶e̶n̶t̶ wasted 12 minutes of my life watching this and don't know where to begin with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grnmMPnnhq4 That’s why I fixed the tube, I was the only one with acetone :lol:

Interesting video on driver/cyclist/pedestrian culture

Warning - It may be triggering though

Happy Friday :-bd Alright, it’s not Friday but I’ve got the next three days off* No plans yet, hopefully the weather stays nice. Might have to see the new minions film, thankfully I have a 10 year old voodoo that I can take along :lol: *quiet you retired people Edit - nice story from last week. Cycl...

Nice looking bike
