How about fudge packing for those of us that like confectionary on the trail?

IGMC

What is clear to me is that bikepacking is similar to wave theory. Its state depends on the observer. Theres an article in there somewhere

The sea was almost flat rowing tonight

Bonnie Tyler is having one soon apparently.

That's right, today is the day to celebrate and give a special thought to those soggy furry bundles of fun :-bd Please, no smut. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQnCOcX_gCZVhUQ49qipXsvdOPr9mjs0QQtofcMhGT36qMWBMTxR4EuRRnZle9lSWiGruc&usqp=CAU Absolutely. They are lovely creat...

I did the Bushy Heath Parkrun today. This is the home of parkrun and it was my first ever. I’m now addicted to what was the most welcoming and fun running event ever. Came fourth in the old men category

Two what?

Toilet visits. It’s why he looks so grumpy.

Happy Birthday Stu

Trains did their best to try and ruin it but I seem to be approaching London. I’ve got tickets to the launch party thanks to Hollys choice of boyfriend.

On my way to the smoke to see my daughter then The Meffs then Bob Vylan

Many years ago I got a ferry to Cork with my bike a saddle pack. A plastic emergency bivy and a credit card. I had no pre booked accommodation. I found it on the way. I rode to the north with no flight home booked and no fixed route plan. So was this bikepacking, touring, credit card touring or stup...

ootball and tennis have rules written down and governing bodies. Indeed but who wrote them down and decided what they'd be? All that running about looks like hard work, I think it'd be better if running about was limited to 5 minutes because that'd suit me better :wink: Walking football for you the...

Football and tennis have rules written down and governing bodies. Bikepacking just has pitchforks

I suppose it is because backpacking doesn’t mean carrying a tent. It means carrying your stuff.

Cheery Friday here as I’m about to ride my bike on Mull

You are exactly right in my view Hyppy. I'm a massive cycnic about auto-route creation and we are building a product designed to make it easier for people to share routes and directions https://geovey.co.uk . Our work is targeted at walking trails at the moment and we don't plan to go near cycling a...

Looks like a one-man-band (polish guy) entering a very crowded market.

I came across a roadie yesterday looking very forlorn with a semi inflated rear tyre. He could not get enough air into it using his pump and asked to borrow mine. A quick inspection showed he was using a presta adaptor in the schrader end of his pump. I gently inverted it and inflated his tyre using...

I’m gutted that I’m in Spain then Appledore for those dates Scott. Will have to get over your way instead

Where to start, 12 Tours de France as a rider, yellow jersey wearer and stage winner as well as multiple stage wins in the Vuelta, 8 TdF as Directeur Sportive including 2012 where he headed up team Sky, engineering Bradley Wiggins as first UK winner. Multiple British Champion on the road, track and...

The Thompson Twins haven’t aged well

£100 an hour for skilled labour We live in very different worlds if you think £100 an hour is a reasonable hourly wage for any human beimg to earn. ( shaf is a nurse and is nowhere near that for example nor is a teacher etc or indeed almost anyone working. That is not a wage. It's an hourly rate fo...

Unpopular opinion but it’s probably 1.5 hours in total sunk time for the welder to get to you, set up, weld and pack away. £100 an hour for skilled labour ready immediately doesn’t seem too harsh to me. And he’s factored risk in as well.

I have a SPOT Gen 3 which I'd sell for £21.50 posted. The BUT is that one of the strap mounts has broken.

A shiny new Garmin 540 Solar has landed. And on cue so has some decently overcast weather
