Re: Badger Divide - Parking Glasgow?
An update.
There were no replies on this thread when I set off, so with street view I picked somewhere "suitable" 3 miles out of town in Balornock near some shops, but not in front of someone's house.
I'll find out tomorrow if my car is still there.

Badger Divide - Parking Glasgow?
I'm driving up to Glasgow to ride the Badger Divide over 4 days.
Any ideas what the score is with parking near the start?

Apparently Tics are already rampant up there. Permethrin lotion keeps the feckers off.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
Can't say i really noticed the weight. Definitely a wide load though which took a bit of getting used to.fatbikerbill wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:36 pm Rich,
How does that ride with so much weight at the back?
For the TMB I'd balance it out with a Salsa cage on the bars.

I should add that I made sure I used a torque wrench to avoid crushing the stays. (4nM)

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
I have one which I've strapped 2 20 litre dry bags too.
Carbon fibre seatstays on my Salsa Pony Rustler. So far done the N loop of the 550 and part of the Jennride without any dramas.
Probably going to use it on the TMB in June, though just with one bag on top.

Re: Cranktank 3 vs cages on fork + smartwater bottles
I used a 3 litre Cranktank last summer on a month long trip in France where the temperature touched 40 C a few times.
It was great to know that I always had some water.
Remember to sterilise every few days with Milton tablets or similar.

Re: Who'd have thunk it, an interesting article on Road.cc?
I've done some flying this year to enable me to ride a bike abroad. I looked at alternatives, and whilst cycling there or getting trains and ferries would be possible. I didn't have the extra time required.

I've tried most one person tents and bivi shelters. I still have several.

Re: Strathpuffer on Drops - Will I Die?
By way on an update, I didn't die, but took an absolute battering: I spent way too long recovering rather than riding. Was ultimately really pleased with how it went given that, but would not recommend drops. Rich, hope you and Tom had a good one. Well done. Tom was saying it was particularly rough...
