Dropped off a rather fetching Outdry in the bright white colourway. It might look pretty grubby very quickly but for £50ish quid delivered, one mustn't grumble. I suspect there will be plenty opportunity to test it in the coming weeks :smile: In the market for one, do you have the link to where you...

Piccie?

Maiden Voyage on this mornings commute, before I ruin the aesthetics by adding bags/mudguards etc.

Busy day for my postie yesterday. A box from SJS cycles with several boring, but essential bits to finish my Stooge. Rode it to work this morning (International Single Speed Day innit) and despite being mostly in the wrong gear, it was a nice start to the day. Also a package with some rather nice ba...

Good effort Greg. The official OMM footage certainly showed what appeared to be a tough conditions.

I did the long route this year and really enjoyed it. Lots of it would be fine on a gravel bike, but some bits wouldn't be much fun at all. It sounds like Adrian has taken the rougher bits out of the gravel ride so I'm sure it'll be great. Get it entered and have a ball

I had similar issues with a new grx mech. I adjusted the clutch to reduce the tension a bit and it's fine now.

This looks like a nice spot. Love an in-progress BaM update

Fortunately theres a well equipped machine shop at work.

I wasn't quite ready to start another week doing work for others, so first job Monday was a selfish one. Might make a habit of it

Recently swapped everything from my cracked Spa Cycles Elan frame onto a Genesis CdF frame. Almost everything was the correct 'standard' so it was a simple and cheap job. The CdF frame required a different mudguard mount on the rear though, and the bracket rattled, so I machined a new one and bolted...

Looks like some bargains here, but not sure if the RRPs are correct

That's got 'Scam' written all over it. Please dont put your bank details into that website

Not this time. My entry rolled over for 2 years but I just don't feel the love for fell running at the moment. Hopefully it'll return in time but for now, I accepted OMM vouchers as a refund. Just need to spend them

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

I've got a hip flask like that. I hope it had something good in it.. :wink: Indeed! Glenmorange 10, the dregs of last year's Christmas present. Fortunately it's almost that time if year again :-bd Whisky in titanium hip flasks seems to have an acceptable strength/weight ratio to satisfy TLS criteria

I had all the excuses in the world for not following through with last night's planned bivvy. Mostly though, the torrential rain all day which showed little sign of easing, despite the forecast. I eventually set off in the dark at about 6:30pm in full waterproofs and OMW boots, hoping to keep the wo...

A stern word for the driver and huge hugs for lady in the call centre

Result! Fortunately the lovely lady a few doors away has been looking after mine. It's a beautiful thing!

And apparently delivered a new Stooge Scrambler frameset. I'm not at home though so no idea who has signed for it, or even if its a the correct address

Good stuff Phil

I can't imagine riding all that on a single speed but it clearly works for you! Top job

Glad to see you're making plans for next year Adrian, it really was a great event so I'll be looking forward to next year's extended route.

Pleased to see I look as awkward as ever on the website I imagine you needed the rest more than I needed the pie

Thanks Stu/Dee. Mostly very enjoyable and the not-so-enjoyable bits were my own fault. Coming out of a very warm and dry summer I'd almost forgotten what it's like to be that cold during the night. Great route and a warm welcome back :-bd I'd dropped a couple of quid in the honesty box at the Glyndŵ...

Any indication of distance from the start where this pearl may be found? It'd be a real shame to pass by unaware To the SE at 143km. it's slightly off route but not by much. It took me far too long to realise that this was 143km into the 200 route and not the 300 :lol: found it though, cheers! Hope...

For some reason I appear to have been sent last year's route? At least that's what it looks like at first glance
