Oxymoron.

Adventure requires an element of the unknown, there are no guarantees.

"No guarantee of return".

That's adventure for you .

A new website to help you explore the countryside using public transport. o:-) May be useful for cycling, too. https://www.railwalks.co.uk/homepage Guardian article here -> https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2024/apr/30/you-can-walk-virtually-everywhere-in-england-by-using-the-train-the-man-connecti...

Nice one, DSL. There are some lovely beaches along there to seek out .

Nice one, Phil .

Always interesting to stumble into an alternative reality .

Great stuff, Lu. The breakfast aroma wafting through the woods must have been lovely .

https://www.instagram.com/p/C6N3QLUIrZv/?igsh=cWJmMGt0cmx3aWl0 I love crisps, but one gets to a certain time of life and realises they're not the healthiest of sports nutrition :cry: Then one evening pickled eggs entered my world: low in saturated fat, high in protein, it seems the perfect accompan...

Free bikes, free tents, free food!

Who's going to claim this as their BaM?

D'ya think they'll provide breakfast as well?

It's a bit blimmin' nippy, though. 3°C at the end of April! .
I was hoping to leave the Buffalo Bag at home

I considered it could be a swing bridge, that no longer swings. Or they could have left it on my side if the brook

This month's adventures

"I never go for a walk without my bike". Saturday https://www.instagram.com/p/C51GBcgoTi_/?igsh=YjZ3bXU2ZHpuaHM0 Train to Gobowen arrived 10:46, then ride past the national border stone and up to Wayfarer's memorial stone. Blimey it's windy; blowing me off course as I pinballed uphill on t...

We're not destroying, maaan... we're creating...uncool and unmonetisable names for "having a kip outdoors between bike rides" (that will instantly become cool because of their nebulousity :geek: ). But I like JamesO's "camping sportives": it's rooted in chummy reality, rather tha...

Prefer smallish cars... The ferry from Italy is another good one - it would make yhe journey far more interesting. Caterham 7 Nothing smaller or greener (if you buy a green one :wink: ). Makes every drive an adventure, particularly via mountain passes. The essence of TLS motoring: put the hood up a...

Happy Birthday Stu

In real world, how many kilometres or miles per hours would this be? Without this information I can't warrant a reliable answer for realworld experience

I suspect Reg is already sewing anemometers onto his BB jersey, right next to the pandas .

I had a minor revelation last November when cycling in The Lakes: my techno-baselayer top became damp and clammy, so I removed it and spent the rest of the weekend wearing the fleece direct to skin and was warm & comfortable all weekend :-bd. Back home (after a bit of rummaging in the cupboards)...

Is there a prize for "longest bivi ride of the year"?

Very lucky, as they only come out on April 1st .
