Given most riders wear much the same kit regardless of gender, I'm not sure this will produce much in the way of startling results.

... there’s a fantastic pub in clun ...

The White Horse? I have fond memories of the black pudding Scotch eggs.

Bikehike hit the Google Maps buffers a while ago, but had then transitioned to OSM I thought. Sad that it's not working anymore,
I find flicking between the route creator in Strava and the OS layer in Bing Maps good when plotting routes, and then fiddling about with the resultant gpx in Viewranger.

Strikes me this would work best with techniques that don't require stopping, thus ruling out coin toss/dice/spin the front wheel.

Also, what on earth do you mean by "pubs if hungry/thirsty"??? You'll be telling me you pass up opportunities for cake next!

Always round down, go with the 274s.

I've recently started riding without a chammy. So far I've done an overnighter with 50km either side of sleeping, and a couple of other 50-60km rides. Seamless pants and some Bum Butter seems to be doing the trick.

Learn a language?

Duolingo app is good.

I've got a 600+ day streak going for Swedish.

I got all excited when I saw "Whiskey", then realised it was a bike component.

Plastic bodies are good in the winter, as they're less of a heat sink compared to metal. I'm happy with DMR V6 on my gradventourer (moulded pins), and Superstar El Plastique with metal pins on my HT MTB. The Superstar are currently very cheap at Planet X: https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/PESSELP/supers...

I found this article very helpful when setting up Midges.

Interesting. I've not had much joy with Dynaplugs to date, maybe this will prove more successful.

Happy to help!

As we all know, having equipment you can rely on is very important when heading out for not the wilds. That's why I headed out for a first ride on a new wheelset (self-built, and set up tubeless that very afternoon (and which had deflated itself about 5 minutes before I left the house)), and my summ...

Coming to you live, from somewhere in the Peak.

Given you've been using a drop-bar frame with flat bars, it would seem the Escapade is an option too?

I think you should sell me that paddle for a tenner ... otherwise I'll be forced to try and make a lighter one

One that can double as a shelter pole I hope.

You could decant the wine into summat lighter too.

Mind sharing the location over a PM? I'm always keen to find new spots in the Peak.

September achieved, in the company ( :o ) of another rider from Sheffield! After months of nagging various riding associates to come out and enjoy sleeping al fresco , it's finally happened! A nice bimble through Sheffield's parks, and up onto the edges. At one point it looked like we might get a ni...
