+1 for Transatlantic Sessions. Used to love watching that when living here way back when. It was this kinda thing that turned me on to Brebach.

Re: MTB Wrist issue
Physio to work out the damage and the exercises you need to do to return the area to strength
Masseuse to unlock the rest of you for healthy blood flow to the afflicted area
Rest - I agree with Froggy on a splint to keep things in place when sleeping

The XTR down the Burway this morning were as good as when I got them 7 or 8 years ago. Never had a problem with the hoses when travelling. Knock on wood this contin...

Re: Old and New - UK Tour 2024
Starting out tonight with aim to go 6 nights finishing next weekend for a breather/scrub then out for a few more.
School nights out in Shrops/mid-Wales, anyone? ; )
I'd say Friday/Saturday at the Ragleth for interested parties...whichever day suits most.

Re: New Front Harness / Longer Bag?
+1 for additional velcro straps to hold things onto the bars/top of bar roll. I used to strap a drybag with Sawyer kit up there so it was easy to get to. Faffing in saddle bag for water filtration kit was a PITA.

Re: Recommend me a quilt
Was impressed with the Neve Gear Warratah quilt. It's a quilt...it can be configured to have a toe box...it has strap clips for attaching around mats...900 fill...rated for -2C...weighs in at ~480g IIRC. However, it's massive! You could turn it sideways and cover two people sleeping in down jackets....

No problems with TSA over half a dozen visits. First time freaked me out the box had been opened, but I got used to their calling card inside. One trip, from Manchester to Seattle, the box had gotten a bit mashed, but the bike was ok. Could have been either way, as I've had mashed boxes coming into ...
