I'm not going to rise to your punning challenges just to prove myself. It'd be quite painful.

Suggestion, based on my previous post: https://www.komoot.com/tour/196684272?ref=wtd Caveat 1: I've not ridden the BW sections across the top of Upper Windleden Reservoir, just to the north of the A628, and along Swindens Lane. Caveat 2: I've not ridden the section from Langsett to where the route r...

My immediate thoughts are that I wouldn't want to spend that long on the A635. Rather than head to Glossop, there's some nice riding between Wessenden Head and Dunford Bridge. From there, a loop up towards Cut Gate (but not over it), down North America, then wiggle about a bit through the Penistone ...

Reg!!! Plug that bar end!!!!!!!

I've got an old threaded steel fork. I think it was originally built for 27x1 1/4" wheels. Canti mounts added for CX duties. A-C is 370-375mm ish. Steerer is 175mm long, with the top 35mm threaded. About 45mm between the legs where the tyre would run, so probably good for 35mm ish tyres? Painted blu...

Got a route in mind?

Packraft seems like the obvious next step.

Wot she said ^^^, apart from the mouse. Highlights were the deer wandering past, owls squawking, the De Molen Rasputin (Bowmore cask finish), and the absolute mental joy of being out in the greenery.

...the logos aren't aligned from side to side so both sides can't be aligned with the valves.

My understanding was that your feet tend to swell as they warm up when you go riding. I always start with my shoes a bit loose to allow for this, and may further reduce the tension once riding.

Love that osprey pic, ScotRoutes.

Red Eagle?

Already been done, I suspect Sean is well-acquainted.

Off the top of my head, TRP Hylix are the only non-shifter ones I can think of.

I've not kept track really. They've had a nice sunny window sill indoors to get them started, and been outside about a week. As soon as I moved them out to the garden, they got a stray football, courtesy of child 1. No idea what variety they are.

Joining the BB sunflowers gang. Of the 6 seeds planted, 5 germinated, and have so far survived a couple of repotting upgrades. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Eb9L4H-zd_OIDyZjv8SX7TKe7z1PvZ0O5Sn4tkgMCJSqJY9jBkK5GX2I4OkrahunhDBibOfdelmwF0NNsxZm_mJ61et7-J0-Zll7n3eWO8wnPaP3q-65uyg36MdVdk2d0XVM_6EaFhs...

I'm quite tempted by the chew + vodka method. Is the sugar really necessary, do you think?

I solemnly swear to refrain from fondling any cheesecakes.

I found that quite encouraging reading until I got to the last line. Inevitable, given the publisher I guess...

Nice one JC, my home town...
Not from the last month, but you might appreciate this:

Got really lucky with the timing, the guy just rolled through the frame as I was setting myself.
Bonus: the bike is a Fuji Feather

Yikes!

Good that you're still typing, and staying away from bikes for a couple of months sounds like it could have been worse...?

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

Best bit? "we'd really earnt a beer/glass of wine by 10 o'clock" obviously.

I assume this is working on the 24hr clock, not the 12hr version.

I'll get the kids to draw a llama or two. Drop me a PM with your address...

Mrs Landslide has ordered a sewing machine. Naturally, this has launched many flights of fancy in my mind, and I'm going to give some MYOG a go. Without going too spendy, what should we have to go with the machine? So far, I'm thinking: *A cutting mat (any particular brands/features/recommendations?...

Yes please, I'll drop you a PM.
