Re: Automated External Defibrillator bikepqcking version!
As someone who has a history of heart issues this is a good idea. Never realise they could be purchased. Also good to know where the nearest is. Less than half a mile from home which is good to know. Ton. A defib is literally so easy to use. Just remember the positioning and maybe a course or two w...

Automated External Defibrillator bikepqcking version!
Just did my annual life support course yesterday. Trainer showed us his personal defib which he carries to Rugby matches with him (his mate had a heart attack at the Rugby some years ago with him and another colleague getting on the mates chest/CPR quickly... meaning the mate walked outta hospital w...

Re: WTD: 31.8 Riser bars 31.6 Dropper
Hi Rich. I have a Brand X dropper. No lever. Works well. Too thick for my SC. You can have it for postage (or a forum donation... whatever you decide) if any good
PM me and I'll get you some stats. Works well (well, it was when I removed it off the Pinnacle).

Re: Lael Wilcox off round the world
Thanks James. Yes, fair point you make there too. Sadly I'd never be able to see the country without some serious risk to life and limb. But maybe one day and you're probably right I shouldn't be so tough/harsh on/about Lael. I've no evidence of her acrually supporting the occupation as such and the...

Re: Lael Wilcox off round the world
I'll be honest, and I appreciate that many might not share my viewpoint. But ever since Lael mentioned the Israel Tour many years ago I've always had alarm bells in the back of my head. Nelson Mandela said after Apartheid was abolished that the freedom of the blacks of South Africa will never be com...

Well done Mick. I have a fiver yo donate to your defib mate, so hopefully well worth the challenge (sorry, it's not much is it, but still 1% of your target :lol: ). I started training for the Yorkshireman and a couple weeks ago did 12 miles split over 2 runs, and over 1800ft of elevation. Knees swel...

Check out this route on Strava: https://strava.app.link/siT1mrULRIb — KBWra 2024 Dews-Brum
Route updated and is above. Thanks again everyone and I think it's all decent riding now. Now silly roads involved. Elevation has gotten a bit much and I'm slightly worried for my knees. But, thats life!

Training for this Yorkshire Man marathon in Sept and trying not to hurt my knees in the process. This last couple of weeks was a bit, 'on the edge'. Last week whilst riding with my final fasting ride I tried to chase a lycra cyclist on his gravel bike. Silly move as I was obviously never catching hi...

Been looking at the route as well as suggestions today. Thanks so much for all the input and especially those that helped by editing some gps files. After atk and someone earlier mentioned the Panorama Walkway and Andy put it in the file - meaning I could see there wasn't much extra mileage to the t...

Re: Anyone local to these areas able to review (sections of) my route pls?
Thanks very much Andy. Will go over it all again shortly and absorb all the info. Panorama walkway will probably take me too far off track as there is some climbs that need keeping in through Wales.
Really appreciate everyones help and will look at my choices around Manchester also.
