Snuck January's BAM in last night. :-bd Rode to my local nature reserve. Was drizzling lightly when I left so risked just the hooooooped (speeeling just for Reg) bivvy. Light rain continued. Dozed off felling almost too warm but work up at 4am feeling chilly despite the thermal top and longs, down j...

With all the bearbones fatfighing going on I'm expecting to turn up and see a 'thin spring thing'

And I'll drop this in just coz I like its cartoon like proportions. (An Overbury's in case snyone cares!)

Nitto (original) moustache bars. According to Rivbike they're now discontinued and they do the albeatross orcthw albastache...

Down a further .8 of a kg.

Keep at it all!

A 900g (+) hopped bivvy? It was my first bivvy puchase

Interesting initial question and replies. I’ve always used either a one man tent or a hooped bivvy-bag. I enjoy the enclosed womb-like?? sense of being in an small enclosed space. :shock: I really enjoy lying in the hopped bivvy looking at the stars and then zipping it closed and dozing off. Pitchin...

Sorry to hear this news.

LHC team 'B' got a real shock when he met us on the track as we returned to Bear Bones Towers on last year's WRT (turns out he'd snuck out) Not what we expected to see at all, at the side of a Welsh track

1/1/17 78.8kg 12/1/17 76.8kg! So minus 2kg... :o Through not snacking, no chocolate (except once), still no booze (just over a year now since my dry jan overran), smaller portions, and trying to eat more healthily... Sure it'll fluctuate, as that serms a lot to lose in a short space of time... But i...

You've seen my (lack of) pace up hills. It wouldn't be much of a chase!

Fair enough. All my own fault!

Just went to enter and entries are closed. Bah humbug!

Is there a reserve list?

Can the facebook pics be made visible to those of us who don't do FB please?

(I've no idea how FB settings work....)

just got an email from PHD saying their bargain box is full ready for Christmas...

I'm also in. My middle aged spread has spread so time to do something about it... I lost weight at the start of this year by eating less, eating healthly-er, and exercising more, but then odd work hours and working away from home and general laziness(!) meant good habits slipped... but at least I've...

I'd love to know when a 'mini-trend' tips over into being a 'trend'

might we be a mini trend in 207 then a full on trend in 2018 or will we just be old (bobble) hat by then...?

completed.

Fab!

Can any one of the 'laggards' tell me how many miles we covered on saturday please? As well as saying thanks to those who organised this (which I rudely forgot to do in my last post) I'd also like to thank Javi for the festive rendition of jingle bells using his disc brakes! And the bear bones disc ...

Indeed, a great weekend. Fab to meet everyone.
See you at the summer version!

I try and avoid thinking about that!

Please can you add your name to the list (and copy/paste and include yourself) so that we know whether we need to hold on for anyone Dr Nick now can't make the ride unfortunately but will join us in the pub for dinner Berkhamsted station @ 10am Benp1 Jameso Tring station @ 12am MuddyPete Blackhound...

A pair of stubby barends cut down to 2-3cm and mounted in board of the grips would do much the same. I'd had the same thought, but then through laziness bought a pair of TOGS. I'd not realised quite how 'thin' they are - so they don't get in the way when placed between the inner end of the grip ad ...
