Re: Pain and suffering
That show, or at least the contestants, totally crazy
Of course, if the trail was overgrown with nettles and brambles at the beginning you wouldn't go there that's why you're only committed to pushing on at the end of the trail![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Want to buy a pub ? (or a part of a pub)
I find it ironic that pubs that close down because they are not used by the local community end up being reopened as community pubs :???: (plus I'm a bit negative about Brockweir because the residents there were one of the biggest objectors to the Wye Valley Greenway going through the village! Their...

Re: Could a beard puncture a inflatable pillow.
On the basis that 'body hair' can somehow manage to thread its way through my lycra shorts I would say yes, it is possible!

Re: HT550 - 2024
I can't help thinking, as someone who has not done it, that the run in from Fort William to Bridge of Orchy is a real sting in the tail after the distance already ridden, especially if you fall into that mental black hole of thinking 'almost there' ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Re: HT550 - 2024
If my calculations (and memory!!) is correct, looks like Alex has lost about 20miles to seconds place. Think yesterday the lead was about 40miles for a long time but it’s shrunk to 20 or so *obviously miles in this terrain isn’t the best indicator Another way to look at it is that the guy in 2nd pl...

Re: MTB Wrist issue
Well, your post made me chuckle Dave, so it's not all bad
Possibly worth visiting a good Physio if you know of any locally? I've always found them more useful than GPs for that sort of injury.

Re: HT550 - 2024
Alex (the leader) has now covered 250 miles in under 24 hours :o He's now over a day ahead of where I was after 1 day! Looking at the pictures on Alan G's Instagram at how much luggage he's got (I have more on my bike on the Monday commute with my office clothes) I'm going to predict he's not going...

That's a shame, often stopped by there whilst riding (the photo in that link makes the road look almost level

Always seemed busy too.
