Halfway Home A Bicycle Podcast

Right chaps. Here's the idea, during the admittedly very soft lockdown we've had I've started up a new podcast. It's very simple and an idea I'd encourage others to try. Pick a cycling buddy and find a nice spot halfway between your house and theirs. Navigate to that spot at an agreed date and time ...

Re: Ridgeway from both ends...

Ok, so potential goer for some folks: personally as time is always tight for me I'd be looking to it in 1 night. 2 days riding. Which means actually riding day one to Avebury. Sleeping riding home. Would be happy to collect people on route. I appreciate this is already not the original plan. I am no...

Ridgeway from both ends...

Thinking of a trip along the Ridgeway this year (before it turns to sub standard and misery this winter). I live at the Princes Risborough end: a Mate living at the Swindon end are planning on riding from each end and meeting somewhere in the middle, then continuing along to the opposite end. Then a...

Re: Three Lions Tour: June Chilterns beerpacking

Tah muchly for the offer of a lift to the start Tim, however I like the idea of getting there on the bike. (This in no way means I won't accept the lift) I just like the idea of getting there on the bike. I will confirm one way or t'other as and when I've made my mind up. I think my current bicycle ...

Just seen this, not looked at diary but put me in for a firm possible...I generally tell the missus a week before and then just disappear. Will obviously confirm nearer the time. Will need a bit more practice prior to WRT anyhoo.

Re: Way betterer this year ... Chilterns Winter Bivvy

Thanks All for a great introduction to your world of bikepacking (even though my effort didn't really count as I slept in a 1.5 tonne set up) However it has really fired up some long lost enthusiasm for off road adventuring. I know I'll be bivi-ing under hedges before long. Without wishing to blow s...

Re: Way betterer this year ... Chilterns Winter Bivvy

The round house with stove will sleep approx. 3 or 4. (One space already taken by Tim). 3. If the weathe...
