Re: BB200 2014 - congratulations and thank you
It's a bit late, but I finally got round to writing up a blog post on this year's BB200: it's at http://tricksterprince.wordpress.com/2014/10/16/bearbones-200-2014-edition/ . Enjoyed that, cheers. The feeling of relieve rather than satisfaction on complete was something I felt on the Lakes 200, so ...

Thanks Steve. I meant to write about the sun slowly coming up and the light lifting on the Sunday morning as well.slarge wrote:Great write up. I think we all shared those emotions throughout the ride. The sunset was fantastic on Saturday evening.

Re: BB200 2014 - congratulations and thank you
Nicely put, Mattie. Was it you I visited the Trawsfynnyd pub with? The terrifying place where the women were dancing on the tables to techno and the massed drunken hordes of the rugby club poured off the coach in a way that made it feel like the start of a particularly bad Channel Five horror film?...

@ thesloth — great photos! Strange to see myself still smiling in a couple of them. It must have been before Barmouth. Do you mind if I use a couple when I write this up for the blog? Thank you!

Great photos Paul — and good to bump into you on the way round. It's been a while since you handed over the Peregrine in a service station car park!

Hey Lars — it was great to ride with you on that section down to Penmachno. Thanks for the great write-up and the photos: they almost make it look like fun out there!

Re: BB200 2014 - congratulations and thank you
Another big vote of thanks to Stuart and Dee for organising this. It's safe to say I'm in no hurry to ride that particular route again, but once the aches and pains calm down enough for me to work out where exactly they're coming from I'll starting looking forward to next year. Getting up the stairs...

Bivvy spots near Brecon
Does anyone have any tips on good bivvy spots near Brecon? I'm planning to introduce my partner to the delights of wild camping so am hunting around for something suitable. We're staying at a campsite in Brecon itself for the week and will be walking rather than on the bikes. Any thoughts much appre...

Re: There 'n back ... DETAILS SENT.
I'm out I'm afraid: a combination of logistical and personal stuff at this end means I can't get away to play in the hills. Gutted — not least because I'm also going to be in the States in the spring and away for the Wildcat 200 and the Welsh Ride Thing. Hope you all have a great time out there!

Route planning with a couple of beers on a Monday evening here. Does anyone have any idea what those dunes north of Borth / around Ynyslas would be like for bivvying? Last time I was there (which is a while ago now) it was all a bit too much like dogging central... The dunes close to the visitor ce...

Re: The BB 200 Thread
I'll add my thanks to Stuart, Dee, Flatfishy and Chew for all their hard work organising yet another fantastic event: tough as hell but bloody good fun. When my head is less foggy I'll write something up on the blog and post a link here.
