I failed on my first trip to Gwyn Fawr bothy too. Rode like 95% of the distance from home. Was unable to pick up food in Hay on Wye as it was the literature festival and totally packed with articulate pissheads. Ended up bonking, my light running out, giving up on finding the bothy. Slept on the pat...

Eid Mubarak Shaf :-bd At college there is about 20 kids in, out of 2000. 20 out of 2000 :shock: That's a massive ratio. I'm gonna guess your in London somewhere today Ben. Birmingham, we don't quite have 99% students celebrating Eid. It is a lot and we have a critical mass of Muslims so even studen...

Eid Mubarak Shaf :-bd I don't know the answer, and will leave it til this evening to research. Predict that it will be words to the effect of "I am the messenger of God, you are the profit Mohammed to bring the word of Allah to the world." Then Mohammed would eventually respond "Thank...

Got this classic touring shoe available £15 posted.

Excellent condition as it simply doesn't fit me so I've tried it on a couple of times then stored it.

Managed my April despite rail strikes. Rode an impressive distance from Birmingham on traffic free trails (mainly lots of canals). Did you know we have more canals than Venice?! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczM3li88qFzf8epXLmJRqYIKcHIYsiWXRoolBP-NRRA444GCreXelhQpG1LuXcLlpb4HBDpL4w6mJuXC1...

Jacket received

Ok, I'm going to do a two sentence summary of the ride, then muse about this style of riding for however long feels appropriate. I also made some logistical notes for myself, but realise that these could be a useful resource? I am no expert in this at all, but feel a shared mistake can still be lear...

Hi,

Could I get this please?

I'm interested in the Polaris top. Will message

I like this idea, and agree with that simplicity of getting "into the flow" To complicate things, I have started tacking bikepacking trips onto the ends of other, less bikey trips. An example is Easter. 3 nights in a bivi/bothy, then 4 days in a mountaineering hut. These days will not be s...

Wicked. Yeah that sounds fab. I'll message you tomorrow

I am getting mildly into sewing projects and restoration. Rat nibbled away at it? Damp and mildew? Zip bust but the body fabric is ok? I'm thinking of making a zombie luggage collection. I occasionally browse charity shops, but rare to get decent fabric or buckles as charity shops wouldn't sell brok...

I have some x fusion slants. Tapered steerer, from memory it is cut reasonably short.

I took them off for rigid, but also may well need a service? Stantions are in good nick, one of the adjustment knobs sheared off.

If you are interested drop us a message and I can photograph

£20? Plus postage?

Cheers all. It's definitely jazzing me up to do more odd shaped bike bags. Will keep you updated

Made a top tube bag. Indeed it was an enjoyable process. Satisfyingly tricky at points and well considered. Had this fabric for 6 months now. I've doodled and daydreamed many ideas for how to best utilise the xpac and cordura fabric I had. Keeping on procrastinating from actually doing anything. Bro...

Being a land lubber from Birmingham, ferries feel proper adventurous to me. The smaller the better. This route was created to hunt one out, then smash some classic climbs. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ABLVV85O4FBVvgxSrR8_YXWY95ZoeJ83jAAsuCml77feaH6Ey4rdr5gfu7OQEEBPEus0PMeJP4xXwCw97DFh3k0t633...

Cheers Pete! Yeah just about. It was tough getting through the work day, but no change there really.

Quite enjoyed the commuter BaM but would like to get a train somewhere more rural for another. 11 to go.

Seeing things in a different light. This trip feels the absolute everything of squeezing it in to make it work. Life continuously got in the way of me getting out on my bike. I'd packed it up several times, scribbled enough of a route out, then been drawn elsewhere. Last night of January, it had to ...

Used this websi...

I managed to get out on 31st Jan, just. Written most of the report, but want to add the nice pictures I took so will upload this evening.

I'd add that the tent weather protection is more significant on a level playing field. As in a field with no exterior protection. Tarps can utilise these half walls/ big trees / parts of the natural landscape much better in my experience. In typical internet fashion, I do not have any experience of ...

First up, good on ya for reaching out. I've been there and it is hard. Does slightly depend if you live in the city or hills? What worked for me was two things; one vague and fluffy with the other concrete. Fluffy was rebuilding the attitude of moving the body. The important part of this is doing so...

Hi,

Could I get the knee warmers and 12L dry bag please?

Drop me a message for logistics ect

Hi could I get this please. DM with details incoming

I believe the key for the trike was being able to pedal at super duper low speeds, rather than aero. Although I could be mistaken for another similar record attempt.
