Does that have a minimum temp on it, so you can see how chilly it got overnight?

And a fresh one at that.

...MaM drags me down the pub, pours some beer down me...

This is the key bit, isn't it?

Good news, hope your recovery continues well!

Putting in 4G masts in such remote areas may well be a lot more achievable than trying to get landlines set up out there.

Somewhat surprisingly, yes! They make a range of suits using Gore Tex.

Jay Petervary has self-appointed himself as a keeper of the ethics, spirit and rules of the Tour Divide. He doesn't have the best history of sticking within those ideals himself, so that is a bit weird... I wondered about this too. Maybe he's taken on board all the criticism, and had a rethink/Dama...

Nice tales folks, Cheery Friday has started early!

I can then put my waterproof in that, and a spare heavy duty waterproof, a backup spare waterproof and maybe a just in case extra waterproof

Seems like a lot of kit. Why not just one outfit?

Mountain goat
(Pfitscherjoch pass, Zillertal Alps)

Get 298mm.

I'll always round down unless rounding up would mean an extra 0.4mm or less.

Looks like the BH will be the 8th.

Ah, all a bit specialised kit then. I like the effect.

It's all going a bit Vic and Bob...

Q: Name a hairy dog.
A: St Bernard?'
Q: Oh I'm sorry - it was Golden Retriever.

Event idea: as previously suggested, ride to a checkpoint, get told where the next one is. The twist being that instead of a grid ref, you're just given a visual landmark to aim for.

Having experienced Belhaven's "best", I dread to think what might be their worst...
Looks cracking apart from that!

Ah, I'll not be able to make it this year, but will keep an eye on it for the future. Cheers!

There is a local charity event on the Island which crosses the Island twice, so about 54 miles.

Ooh, please tell me more? I'm a pretty frequent visitor to the IoW.

Canal 360

How do you create these images?

Really liked that, especially the thought of being visited by a hummingbird.

1/ At least one night out - Check.. 2/ A single trip taking in both... - N/A 3/ No paid for accommodation... - check (unless your mate is particularly stingy?) 4/ A bike must be involved...- Check 5/ Your own garden doesn't count... - Check 6/ Post each trip here in as much detail as you like, pictu...

Hmm... As you say, the website doesn't seem especially definitive...
Drop them an email?

Neat.

Should be ok. The geometry should be designed so the bike doesn't do anything silly at full travel, which would be a shorter a-c than your rigid fork.

I'm jealous. And desire fish n chips.
