Yes, I'm sure if you'd had it up sooner loads would come along, I've kind of made plans already, but we'll see..:)

Red

Yeah, I saw the Lidl offers...if you can get your hands on them...stuff flies out of the stores!

Think I've seen a chunky Trent one recently, looks rugged but don't like the idea of weird chargers!

Red

Interesting link....any particular makes or models that folk have used or might reccommend, I seem to recall the Astro name cropping up somewhere?

Red

Great thread, lots of tips, experiences and some sweat in there too!

Well done to all who competed, and respect to all who finished!

Red

Thanks guys, I'll have a look over these when I'm home tonight!

Hi Guys,

I'm just looking at some navigation apps etc for the iphone/iOS system and was wondering which, if any, gpx app you might recommend?

Cheers in advance,

Guys, Not wanting to scare monger, but these little blighters are certainly a cause for concern....this is worth a read on the Lymes disease front... http://www.cdc.gov/lyme/ As for the rest of the insect world, Snowdon was midge central this weekend, not much fun...made me wish I'd not stopped smok...

Hi,

I might be up for that, it just depends how the elements break down, the last 4 sound good..:)

Is it going to be a mini epic ride?

Red

Yes, I must say I'm a convert, I'm going to try and give it a damn good load of riding before I consider any upgrades etc...I really wanted some steel and pushed the boat out for the stainless, the £250 trade in at Evans for my old rusty tourer certainly sweetened the pill...I know the 2015 will be ...

Cheers fired, It was a lovely pint, as for the ride, I've only been out a couple of times with it, some rubbish peak district roads and woodland/river trails, but I can honestly say its blinkin good fun, it seems to eat up the crap roads, is very forgiving, stable and feels like it wants to be ridde...

Hmm, not exactly the postman calling, but I couldn't resist showing this little beauty that I picked up the other day....a pint of cool Cumberland ale...
Hope you can see it past my bike..

Just jumping in guys, I've recently got a Croix de Fer, I do rather like it, top fun and a great road/trail transition of my hard tail...bloody good fun, did I say that..:) Anyway, I'm still on stock bars and stem, and as its the smallest size, 52cm, it is nice n short up top, and I know it's more a...

Alasdair,

Sounds a great intro event, I'll certainly bear it in mind, though it's a while off, over the wall too...but that shouldn't be a problem.

Red

Rich,

No single speed bikes for me, I do know my limitations..

Red

There's a bit about the kit I used for last years event (and why) here: http://www.wildcatgear.co.uk/highland-trail-race-gear-review/ I'm writing up something about this years event at the moment. Cheers for that, great little write up...minimal in kit choice indeed, this use of single speed does a...

Stuart,

Yes, I did think a succinct, yet ambitious question, but thanks for the links, I'll get through them and in conjunction wi a forum search won't be afraid to ask!

Keep up the good work, It's a great forum and resource,

Red

Scotroutes,

Cheers for that, I'm on it..

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your response, as for the guy on the train....was he a bit of a tool? If so, then no, it wasn't me!

Joking aside though, nope, wasn't me.

Hi, I've recently joined the forum, just spent a while exploring the threads and working through the HT550 report...blinkin eck, hats off to all who even entered this event, not to mention those who went on to complete it, amazing strength of will, physical fitness and cycling ability of the highest...
