Re: Yorkshire Winter Bivi

Not gonna make the 5pm rendezvous at the pub.
8 weeks since broken shoulder & dislocation, handling a loaded bike is hard enough, so the possibility of slippery snow added into the mix, is a step too far I think.
Catch you all next time.

Re: Bar ends on loops? How wrong is it?

Wouldn't you turn your arms inside out?

I've got Alpkit Confucious Bars with bar ends, and an extra light bar too.

Looks a horror show when there's no bags. Got some strange looks when I rode with Singletrack last week at Hebbers!
