Crossmarks are very fast rolling. But I usually choose ikons instead. Just a little more bite ifthere is a little bit of wet. No probs on a wtb rim. This winter I am using specilized butcher and purgatory control. While very sure footed in snow, frozen, muddy and loose they are really slow on the fl...

Thanks for the comments. I suffer terribly from cold feet when they get wet, to the point where I use flat pedals in the winter with insulated hikeing shoes. The shoes weigh a ton dry and when wet seem to double. So neoprene socks may be the answer. I will definitely be trying some, I just wonder ho...

Or if anyone else had 'foot suscess' recently feel free to share. As I have tried plenty of things with little suscess. And I hate overshoes.

Zdb I would love to know how you got on with your neoprene socks. Also are they bike specific or just booties from a wetsuit?

Cheers

Cairngorm loop
West highland way (double?)
Snow roads audex sub 24 this time.
Maybe boarders itt. Coz its somewhere new!
exploring new routes to me.
Just making time to ride.

As races go, it's really friendly. Bikepacking seems to be as much about eating as it is about riding, so it's generally very sociable. I'm off all the way through Christmas and New Year so will be out in the Pentlands a few times for sure. In the end, we didn't make it to Glentress yesterday as th...

Alisdair how about a spin out over the pentlands over the xmas period and we can compare slowness! Are you the same Chris I've been speaking to on bikepacking.net? If you are, I'm sure you'll be fine on the loop. I'm riding down to Glentress today (Sunday) if you fancy it? I'm probably leaving mine...

There is a bit of pedigree in the list.

Thanks
