I've got an idea that involves riding a distance equivalent to that around the edge of the Grand Canyon. Thought of a catchy name too Rimm.....(oh wait a minute)

Matte is certainly more classy but it is well known that a shiney finish has significant aero benefits, it could save you up to 10 seconds over 24 hrs! YVMV

Trenching?? I thought it was a new "adult" activity!!

Thanks for the replies, in my job (carpentry / roof timber repairs etc) air flow is very important in preventing rot / problems, so had an idea that keeping the holes open was good but I tend to spray ACF 50 in the holes whenever I get the bike wet and when I remove the seat post I squirt a load dow...

You know those holes, the ones at the rear drop outs and a few other places on Steel frames, I assume they were there to allow gas to escape when the frame tubes were being welded? I was planning to give my Singular Swift frame a dose of frame saver type stuff and the block those holes up, I then th...

I am sorry but this is of no help to you selling your vouchers, but I have just googled £100 note and to my surprise they are still legal tender in both Scotland and Ireland.
£190 notes were not mentioned though!

A particularly fine Chenin Blanc that Helen spent a fortune on and I’m quaffing like a pint of cider

@Jurassic pusher - where did you find 'Unbranded' on YouTube? Every link I've tried says it's not permitted in this country. Sorry for the late reply, I found it on youtube, a 3min trailer was free but watch the whole film it cost £3.49, I didnt know that youtube did chargeable stuff but it all wor...

Unbranded - think Bikepacking but on horses, also discussed the situation they have in America with wild horses. Found it a great thoyght provoking watch Couldn't find a link of the film but here's the trailer https://vimeo.com/ondemand/unbranded/140360030?autoplay=1 Thanks for the suggestion, I ha...

Watch French films, tv if you can. Enjoy the event though whatever

I remember watching "those films" as a teenager, happy days!!

I think that the expression " Youth is wasted on the young" makes more sense as the years pass by!

Morrisons "own brand" version of Baileys, going down a little too easily!

When sitting on a bench outside a shop, looking like a tramp and striking up a chat with someone who is impressed with how far you have ridden / are planning to ride!

I think everyone is strong enough to ride single speed! Just that the less fit you are the more walking you do. I am 53 not very fit and a little over weight but SS suits me perfectly, I ride what I can and walk what I can't. There is no pressure to ride every hill. I have far more success on group ...

Thanks for that, but as I have missed issues. 1, 2 and 3, I probably won't bother.

TomTom rider 50 motorcycle sat nav...… not looking like needing for a while though!

Smells and tastes of bananas. Tallisker Dark Storm. One of those malts I love. Complex, every naunce of it well balanced, cheap, but today... Over the years I must have drank 4 bottles by myself and I've never sensed banana flavour in it, but tonight I'm having this little adventure coming from a d...

WRT Tee shirts for work and BB200 Tee shirts for "Best"

I am committed now to starting from the Fforest Inn at first light on Saturday. Hopefully, I will be meeting up with Alex for dinner at the pub on the Friday evening. My target is to get round in less that 24 hours if I can stay awake and not get too bogged down! Really looking forward to it ! - De...

5 years tubeless, 5 years since my last puncture!
Not sure if carrying a spare tube (just in case)is ever worth it, because when I look inside a tyre that I have been running tubelessly it is usually full of thorns sticking through the casing

its a deal too good to pass up, I thought I was being extravagant buying 2!

There's 2 Jones in the house, one with a 29er front and one with a plus front. I have plans for all 3 hubs.

I am planning to build up a 26" full fat front , the other hub is going on a shelf!
