The A30 is a nightmare. http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/20-895/ The A30 - can't see this route in detail but it (edit, seems to?) use some of the A30 nr Truro and Oakhampton. A31 east of Winchester. Prob a few other bits. I know audaxes seem to use more A-roads than I ride on my own trips but I...

Arrived today. Goes nicely with my other Restrap purchase (belt that holds 50lb or something of belly in).

Thanks kind sir. Took it out on the bike and its just what the doctor ordered

I was at 600m on Saturday evening and it was about zero. In the valley it was down to -3...... Can we add wind chill?? Yes... why not good sir (cos I forgot your name... cos am dyslexic but thats just a good excuse... Duncan??). Dont forget to make a nice write up with pretty pictures and some outl...

150 tired riders pushing themselves through the night on the main road network. Oh joy. Thats another way of looking at it. Could be argued that many of us do that on our regular rides also as there's always a road connecting the offroads. Am hoping to have good recuperation between days :smile:

Need talking out of it Have a full-boner itch to sign up Sounds a challenge :shock: Nah... you my friend need talking into it. You've done LeJOG (I believe) so many times on own or with a few people I imagine... Its gonna be ace with another 150 people on the field with that extra challenge of : "f...

It's in orange. Includes a lanyard but comes without the box. I'm reliably informed that the user manual can be found online. It looks bling and as one very articulate BBer described it, "it's powerful kit". Looks really fantastical when turned on. Unfortunately after much research on here, I've fin...

Thanks. Yup. Totally get the idea

Logging is useful if you want people watching the explore website to get a “detailed” trace of your track. When logging internally the inReach will use cellular data (when available) to “in fill” the iridium tracking points For the most point there is little need to internal logging. So... If I'm g...

I’m going

Have unfinished business

And taking a mountain bike; gravel bike was too much hard work, need suspension

This comment convinced me that I'll hopefully be pretty happy with my 650b tirrs on front sus Sonder Transmitter

Ben... I only just saw this and what an enjoyable read... I jusy have one Q please. Was the sleeping bag a legendary PHD lightweight one (as it would make me feel part of the story and this epicly (or 'epically' but durely thats wrong spelling) successful ride.

Eveeything arrived promptly Stu and although not tried anything out just yet (might take the micro tarp for a go tomorrows Bivy) it all looks wonderfully lovely... West Yorkshire salutes you

Shaf, youay we'll be aware of it already, but if not: yacf has a wealth of audax info including a big thread about this ride. It's a similarly friendly place to hear too. https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=ed15226bc6fec27aa1c6718e361da3dc&board=17.0 Thanks Andrew... Yes, one of the Bristo...

:smile: thanks JamesO and Asposium... To be fair I probably didn't think it through properly and did raise my eyebrow at the 116 hours :o before I entered. Maybe the peer pressure of the other lads doing it, (I dont think many have properly quantified the time limits just yet) and the fact that I've...

Just registered for this event. Not sure its my smartest move but... Here's the link if anyone fancies it. States theres milited spaces but it seemed to still be taking entries https://lejog1400audax.com/ Am sure I'll be asking on here about advise on how ensure I'm not too slow and manage to keep t...

Thanks for all the input everyone. Looks like the general feel (for my needs at least) is that its an expensive option. I'd probably only use for 1 or 2 events in the years and battery draining down, in tracking 10 min intevals, I reckon its gonna be an expensive option in terms of weight of extra p...

In her defence, when you use the "email us" link you get presented with this: Screenshot_20200116_180121.jpg Sounds like they're really passionate about not letting anyone into a situation where 'one' might need rescuing but 'one' had already mistakenly cancelled membership (not wanting to be gouge...

Thats without footprint and (ti) pegs which both add another 360 grams (1860g as it is picutred above)

PM'd you Thanks Keir... Pics as requested below. Sorry I didn't make the effort of going to pitch it up :o but I can confirm it all appears to still be as waterproof as ever (seemed it may have had a couple of flies decomposed on the material - washed off the little black sludge which I assume was ...

I will take the saddle pack please

During the past few weeks of overspending :sad: I suddenly became the proud (and maybe useless as I'm not sure I've got a use for it yet as I've never even achieved a full set of BAMs and I probably wouldn't carry it on a BB200 event... Anyway, i do know (from other threads) that its hopefully cheap...

Price drop to £125 if that'll tickle anyones fancy...

Luckily a consultation isnt law, but it is a step towards it. Looks like we really did get the government we deserve this time round. Hopefully a firing squad for the top layer, followed by a humanisation traing for the remainder. Might solve a lot of our problems ( sorry, always said I'd never get...

I suppose I'm gonna be overburdened with tents and tarps soon so good idea to let this go. Its the blue version of this https://www.alpkit.com/products/jaran-2 Comes with the poles but I'll probably hold on to my ti pegs. No footprint included but I might be open to offers on that aswell. Used on ma...
