Just to get into the proper spirit of the enterprise I'm not wearing any knickers.

Oh and of course the weather's been perfect since my last BaM-with-deluge-with-Bob so guess what this week's is forecast.....

Time to lower the tone of the place again we think. Far too civilised recently. Another visit to the Brecon area has been on my list for a long time, but it never seemed to make its way UP the list. With Reg having a mental age of about nine, the 2264’ high protuberance of “Lord Hereford’s Knob” has...

Just popped out to the shops on me bike. Seem to be some long queues at petrol stations, with lots of people shouting at each other for some reason. I gave them a cheery wave as I toddled past, to cheer them up, but it didn't seem to go down particularly well. Ah well, I tried. (Yes obv I sympathise...

Late to the party but I've just this minute returned from the Alpkit BSO (but I did go on Friday) where I've spent two days putting people right off ever going bikepacking :wink: I wonder if anyone might happen to have a photo of Stu's Look; administered when someone asks a question that has, shall...

Bit r0ady those . Where did you ride to in the end? Nice time at the festie? Catch Stu's stageshow?

Interesting helmet. Lazy me, got a linkypoo please?

^ ARF! Boom tish.

loitering Ohh don't set me off. Loitering. A fabulous pastime. Closely related to idling. "Loitering is the act of remaining in a particular public place for a protracted time, without any apparent purpose. While the laws regarding loitering have been challenged and changed over time, loiterin...

Bivvying in the toilet being lulled to sleep by Stephen's fruity tones would have been quite high on my list I think.

I see on their Tariffs page they offer an "electric optional gravel touring pitch". Graveltouring? Pah, it'll never catch on .

PS> Shortening "electricity" to "electric" seems quite common these days. Maybe it's cheaper.

I'm sure if you asked them they'd send yours via rat and wrapped in newspaper Reg :grin: :grin: As Bo says, they really ought to be gold-plated at the price :wink: . Maybe I just need to think of a way of upcycling them - I know, padded sliced-bread holder for Tim's toast! Get three or four slices ...

Have to say that I'd prefer Exposure weren't so OTT with their packaging. My Joysticks have come in those same fancy zipped boxes. Cardboard's perfectly OK.

Lots to absorb there Phil. Another corking adventure and write-up as usual . Specs inside .

Commiserations Ben

Blimey, someone even scarier than Mrs Perrin!

On the way, it struck me that one of my favouritist bits about bivvying is that morning ride. I'm not normally a morning person but it feels different after having been out all night. Yah, similar here. Really not a morning person at all. Given the choice I'd wake up at 7 and lie in bed for an hour...

(Was one up the road. Probably haven't had a toilet since it fell apart in my hands five years ago. Still, the insane price they charged me for the 'facilities' (none) would've bought a complete replacement)

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10010943/amp/Exercise-contribute-narrowing-arteries-research-suggests.html Glad to see my tramp/layabout/pub/cafe style of bikepacking totally vindicated. By the, er, Daily HateMail. You x00/fitness/training/routes lot need to get with the programme :-bd .

Eh? I thought you had your own home?

I can feel a BBB competition or badge looming

Everything's fine mate. BBB Standard Thread Deviation in action.

So sorry for the highjack

Well there's an interesting one to conjure with. Is it possible to hijack one's own thread?

TBH it would make your life a LOT easier if, instead of packing your house's contents into your bikepacking bags and went riding outdoors, you did the opposite - took your bike indoors and rode it round all the rooms. If you needed to use a specific piece of kit you'd ride to the room that contained...
