Sorry Mate I Didn't See You. Typically uttered by the driver who's just knocked you off your bike...

I recently bought a Galibier Vu Winter Jacket and it become my favourite ever. If you want more/different protection, then they do other jackets that are waterproof, or windproof etc. It fits really well, I could easily get a short sleeve jersey under it, although it's not particularly packable or a...

Most preppers probably haven't read Earth Abides though...

I'd love to pump all that data through our system at work and visualise it properly. Shame the dataset is most likely a few magnitudes too small.

I'd love to try a pair of the Grit SL, but I just think of what else £760 could get me...

Has he actually slept for longer than 5 mins yet...?

Good luck!

SKS Speedrocker...? Not sure they'd cover that size of tyre though, so maybe Bluemels...?

Panda time...? A panda will make an appearance from time to time as a reminder for everyone to play nice. Noted. My two pence worth, for what that's worth... As has already been stated, it's one of those situations where you want people to experience these places, but in a sustainable way . If 10,0...

Panda time...? Is this a similar thing to the invocation of Hitler killing a Usenet thread...?

Spent the arse end of last week and the weekend on the sofa with a clod. Off home to Scotland tomorrow, so there wasn't much opportunity to get out for a long ride before then. Decided to cycle home from work yesterday , then back in again this morning . Went home, relatively direct, which wasn't th...

Congratulations on finishing! Looking forward to seeing the video...

Looks like Christian Meier has scratched, due to saddle sores.

The Instagr$m feed for the race certainly makes it look like it's pretty much all off road. Can't imagine doing some of that on my gravel bike to be honest. Looks like it's been a pretty epic days riding. P.S. Either some of the trackers are off, not reporting, or are out of battery, as some of the ...

Properly "vaguely exciting"! The Atacama is one place I'd really like to go...

He's riding some custom bicycle that was all over the news feeds earlier in the week...

How do the dots work, are all the trackers reporting with the same frequency? Sofiane appears to be all over the place for example, half the time there's no label on the map or anything, it's a bit confusing.

Hopefully fuel, as after a bit of a Google, it would appear I was talking out of my arse... Pas de changement là-bas.

They changed the law a few years ago, as far as I know. As long as you've got a free Rectifiers license , and are not distilling for retail, i.e. personal consumption or fuel, you're good to go (IANAL though). For a few hundred quid, you can get a proper still shipped from the East... https://ae01.a...

Holy crap! I'm off work ill and have been making a spreadsheet of a " money no object " bike. That's after watching YouTube for most of the day - The Length Of Time. Inside The Tour Divide , Ride The Sweary Dave-ide (Tour Divide 2019) , I Just Want To Ride - Lael Wilcox and the 2019 Tour D...

And there was me thinking it was all about the spreadsheet containing details of all the bike bits you plan to buy...

Good luck! Looking forward to reading all the after the events reports.

You could also try Ride with GPS, which produces a cue sheet to go along with your GPX. I've got an ELEMNT, so Strava produced routes don't cause the cue thingie to work. If I import from Ride with GPS though, it works as expected.
