A fitting tribute. Good luck for Friday

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 .

Follow it with a "working from home" day with no meetings and when most staff are exercising their "flexible working" arrangements .

Evening All, I'm a bit more prepared for April BaM than I was for March. My general plan is to arrive at Chirk or Gobowen Station about 10:45 Saturday morning then pedal westwards, past the Wayfarer memorial, to Corwen or Cynwyd for dinner & bivi (both villages have a pub and a shop). Sunday: so...

Not a bargain as such …. How much for a water bottle :shock: https://www.camelbak.co.uk/pages/podium-steel-and-titanium?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=paid_social&utm_campaign=New+Traffic+ad+set+1&utm_content=New+Traffic+V1&fbclid=IwAR1AxOLHsF0eqPzn6fLWqOuEeV4aj51hLrA5Rx_epEgw23QBgIKGhbU6...

https://www.instagram.com/p/C5KwAueoScM/?igsh=MTg1MDNiY3Yybndycw== Meteorological optimism ( "weather will be better at the end of March") and general procrastination resulted in a last-minute Utility BaM in the local woods under my favourite Christmas tree :roll: . Despite that, it was a...

We all have those less-than-perfect bivis sometimes. Well done for getting out .
