never will this frame bag achieve such notoriety again, so its time to eulogize my years old Uraltour (a cracking piece of kit from Russia ) for its great worth as the garage and larder/fridge of my heavily laden machine

May 4th...WRT 2025 and BAM May BAM 5 of 5, 41 of 41 I love the annual pilgrimage to WRT so this years attendance was always going to happen for me, but nevertheless filled me with some dread. The reason, a knee injury and fairly long lay off. Soon after my arrival in the car park AndreR located me f...

April 28th...Gathering of the Clan sharing knee comebacks BAM 4 of 4, 40 of 40 My old mucker Dave from Penkridge travelled down to my place so we could bivvy together again, our first since Aug 24. After a mega meat feast and tinnies we cycled a few miles along an old drovers track and settled in a ...

March 31st BAM 3 of 3, 39 of 39 After blowing my knee up from the Winter Event (only manifested itself afterwards), I'd not cycled for 56 days, save for a 2 mile tester to assess progress. So last night was a careful short distance road ride. Pretty much a 'get in, get the job done' and hope for pro...

Thank you Phil, excellent news

A technical question regarding my March BAM? Have just been invited to join Pam this Saturday, who is biking from Malvern to camp in the garden of our friend Shakti, who lives in a cottage at Bringsty Common some 7 miles from me. In my world I have two friends local to me in 'the sticks', both miles...

BAM 4 Jan... 1 of 1, 37 of 37 Verging on insanity, so close to a disaster. But equally so many moments of the divine variety. Felt muchly euphoric once mission completed. This Saturday planned to test my Basha tarp in heavy wind and snow up the hills. Biked to the Malvern Hills to meet a pal at Wych...
