Re: Neoair users

Used the pump sack on a few occasions, but after seeing John Climber and his handy little pump I purchased one and there really good inflates and deflates and doesn't weigh much either. The older version has no light but the new one does :-bd https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275173636652?_trkparms=amclksr...

Re: RAPAH500 - anyone doing it!

Stopped doing these when they stopped the woven patches :lol: Although did think of it this year but after crashing and knackering my AC joint for the 3rd time and working in-between Xmas made it pretty impossible, totally agree the proper 500's should only count if outdoors

Re: What bike for bugger all fitness???

Dales 300 had me in bits from riding a rigid mtb on 2.2's, sore right wrist for 2 weeks and still suffering from what I think is hotfoot (not pleasant at all) so I'd be thinking pure comfort and use the fitness you have to ride and not getting rattled about
