Don't take any type of stove that isn't immediately extinguishable by turning off. In fact if you get caught with any naked flame away from designated areas recreativa, you will be heavily fined. The countryside is like a tinder box, especially in the south but also here in Cataluña. If you must, s...

I'm planning on spending a couple of months in Spain (Altravesur, Spanish Divide, etc) and am undecided on which stove to take. I hate going miles off route hunting for gas canisters and wondered how widely available the screw on type are. What about meths? What's it called in Spanish? Is it purple?...

Extraordinarily unlikely to be asked for proof, but surely a credit card with a large enough limit to cover this person day is good enough anyway? I vaguely recall being asked for similar going into the USA years ago, and showing a bank statement and credit card was enough. The guidance adds that t...

I was about 5 minutes away from booking my flights. Now I'm looking for a Plan B

In 2019 hiking 3000 miles from Mexico to canada up the length of the great Divide I ate well over 900 Cliff Bars, most of them the chocolate mint or white chocolate macademia variety. I think the record was 10 in one day. The combination of that plus the 200g of oatmeal and chocate and vanilla flavo...

Gave the ECR a half decent wash, changed the oil in the Rohloff in preparation for it being laid up for the next 4 months while I'm in Londinium on a course. ( Takes up too much space in my brother's hallway.)

Clicked on this thinking it was about the Three Peaks Race in Yorkshire .. One of the better Ultra distance bike race videos.

That would be grand, thanks!

Hi Keith. I will see which couriers will take something of that length and get back back to you with a price.

Looks like DHL will be about £16

Shimano Zee 170mm
Shimano XT triple 175mm
Both are 104mm BCD

What kind of mileage atr people getting out of Mezcals? 2.6 variety specificly

I use an Abus combination cable lock. It will barely stop anyone with a decent pair of nail clippers let alone a battery angle grinder. Most insurance requirements for bike locks will rule out bikepacking anyway whatever lock you use as they require indoor storage storage behind a locked door etc.

I tend to use a mix of Komoot and (digital) OS Maps. Komoot to actually plan the route on, OS to check if the paths actually allow bikes (the underlying data Komoot uses doesn’t appear to differentiate very well between different types of PROWs). Then to plan food stops and shops Komoot has limited...

Size?

Big fan of Smoove. Easily get double the mileage compared to the oil based lube used previously. Just did 4500 km round Morocco and adjusted the chain once (Rohloff, KMC chain). All dry miles admittedly but lots of dust, sand, dirt roads etc. Lubed chain approx every other day ( 150 - 200km).

After a month of looking after me old mum following a fall and a broken collar bone, her sling came off today and I thought I'd take the opportunity to try to crack 200 km in a day on my local route (Lincoln Gravel Imp on bikepacking) . 16 km in a piece of the True Cross wrecked the only slightly wo...
