Almost back to where I started the year

Has there been much discussion about whether Josh Ibbet should have been disqualified or did it all got lost in the JP / LW kerfuffle?

Is that breathable?

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that i’ve never found one on me

Going in the right direction. I’ve not been on the bike in a month but i’m finding the time for a half hour run 3 times a week - not ideal but it fits better time wise

I read that as Crap Catapult at first

I quite liked the adventure cycling festival of couple of years ago now - social riding, a few workshops and more social riding. A perfect event would squeeze in someone talking me through how to take my bike apart and put it back together again and the various ways put up a tarp

With the new 105 and ultegra rear mechs that officially support 11-34 people have gone up to 11-40 on the back with just b-screw adjustments (avoiding big-big). There was a road.cc article on it.

:cool: yes paul 82, re-reading my post sounds like I need to get a pair ,but I'm guessing municipal camping is safer than wild camping ??? It was a silly joke based on your user name: William II of England was shot in suspicious circumstances while hunting in the New Forest which led to his younger...

Just watch out for blokes lurking with bows, especially if they're called Henry.

A few too many snacks to undo the exercise this week but at least I didn't go up.

It’s a slippery slope - you’ll start wearing a checked shirt and growing a long beard next. If you start braiding the beard it’ll be too late and you’ll be lost

The SPOT was probably the cheapest way to get to hospital too from a rural area - if her medical insurance didn't cover the local ambulance firm she would be looking at a massive bill. So what kind of bill would the rider be facing now?? And woild prices vary if it was say an InReach Not really sur...

Salsa reckon that their carbon Firestarter forks works with the woodsmoke and that normally takes a 140mm fork so presumably you should be fine with a 483 ac fork.

I'll admit, I wasn't expecting it to be that high since it looks quite delicate but my eyesight isn't the best - my lemonwood bow looks chunkier and that has a wussy draw weight of 35)

That's pretty, that'd make a nice kids longbow.

I got one from REI in the US over a decade ago now so probably not much help - it's a bit weighty for hiking/biking camping but still gets used intermittently for car-based camping and it's still going strong. I think it's one of these: https://www.rei.com/product/895453/gsi-outdoors-bugaboo-frypan-...

Went back to food tracking and counting since trying to wing it just wasn’t working

New flat pedals for the mountain bike since I'm not enjoying technical terrain while clipped in.

Vitus Substance maybe? I think it tops out at 650bx47 though and only has sora and mechanical disk brakes.

A new maxle for my Reba forks. Most of a new drivetrain (cassette, rear mech and chain) for Cath's road bike. Unfortunately it had all worn too much so she also needs the chainrings replacing :roll: They should be here tomorrow. Quite often think it’s better to ride the drivetrain to deaths and the...

I use either a pair of endura singletrack 3/4s or craghopper hiking shorts over the a pair of endura liner bibs for most riding. Thankfully the industry seems to be moving away from the fluoro pyjama look.

From smallest tyres to biggest: 1. Giant Escape Cheap and reasonably cheerful hybrid for riding to town and leaving there. It's also the bike that gets used for towing the kids. 2. Pinnacle Arkose My current do it all bike - it replaced my old skinny tyred road bike, it's been credit card touring, i...
