Re: #jennride 2021 26th June

Late to the party and discussion.... I am finally about to toe the line, had numerous entries but never got this far, mostly due to ill health, so super excited. Given dodgy health I am planning on doing a shorter ride, slowish, but with cake and some local knowledge. Would love a bit of company. No...

Re: Bob Trailer dog bed

I made a bed, she has done well in it. Tied in tho, but I won't be riding any single track with her loaded.

Now if I can just find a longer fork or get mine adapted to fit my 29" Ogre. Gravel bike is fine for now. Loving the new opportunities.

Re: Bob Trailer dog bed

As long as the dog sits quietly, the BoB will be fine. If however they are 'active' you will find the loaded trailer acts negatively upon the bike. As well as maintaining balance for the trail conditions, you will also constantly be adjusting balance for the trailer inputs. A real life case of the ...

Hahaha. Slow down and enjoy the ride.

Luna is neither yappy nor out of control, well most of the time. We have done plenty of obedience work.

Re: Shoe sole repair - recommend me a glue please?

Don't use Gorilla glue. It doesn't flex enough. Been there, tried it, cleaned the residue off n took it to cobblers.

I used to have a 2 part mix up glue from America that was much better. Used it all up tho.

Welcome ! I would recommend a version of Wainrights coast to coast. Lakes, Yorkshire and North York moors. Some off road and pubs to camp at. Could tie in with going north. Also look at sustrans for quieter routes, some off road. September is usually nice weather here so you have timed it well. If y...

Looking for cheap prescription (only +1) cycling glasses, clear and or tinted.

I can't see any point in getting expensive ones as a, I will batter or loose them, b, I can't afford it anyway!

Looking for any recommendations please.

And yes people are going out to have a look n needing rescuing, and there are reports of more fires being lit. Nothing suprised me in stupidity these days.
