Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
March BAM, well where do I start. Was meant to be the Dales Divide which turned out to be a mare on most fronts tbh. Had a decent first day on the Friday riding mostly with Dave Riley and meeting up later with Allen before an almighty soaking and then getting cold and not being able to warm up prope...

Did a couple of the midweek Audax 100k rides in the Peaks last year good routes, most with 2000m of climbing and the last one was just over 3000m

Re: Which chain lube?
Currently using Squirt lube seems ok, a real test for it was last years BB200 and it worked pretty well considering what it had to deal with. Wiped down and re-applied at Rhayader after all the rivers just as a precaution really to ensure it was smooth to the end unlike myself

Old chains & cassettes
What do people do with their old ones ? I have about 15 or so chains & numerous cassettes all over the garage at the moment, I don't currently own a welder but may buy a second hand one to maybe make some bike kinda art/tat.
Anyone have any ideas. Cheers

Late starter here after a really crappy start to the year with the back end of December rolling into January with a chest infection and then with all my luck in the world I managed to land myself in bed for a few days with a positive Covid test and felt pretty rough. Made the decision I'd give it an...
