Re: Reg 's Crazy World of Lockdown - House of The Rising Sun
I was singing The House of the Rising Sun on karaoke years ago and they switched it off and told me to sit down.

Re: Dangerous dogs
As an aside, my ex was bitten by a farm dog when she was pregnant with our first child. Her mother attributed our eldest son's childhood fear of dogs to this incident. The look on my and my ex's faces when she said that could have been used for a WTF? gif.

Ulterior Motive for the BB200?
What other reason could be given for a bunch of unwashed ditch sleepers nosing around the more remote bits of Welsh countryside?

Re: Sonder Broken Road Owners - Whatcha Reckon?
Thanks very much, there's some great information and pics there. One of the things I was pondering was if it would take 29 x 2.6'' tyres, and that's been definitively answered.

Sonder Broken Road Owners - Whatcha Reckon?
What do Broken Road owners think of them? If my finances survive Covid 19, they're in my top two bikes, fitted with Jones bars and rigid forks. I have a few questions too: What are the biggest 29er tyres that can fit front and rear? How much vertical clearance is there? If you've got rigid forks, wh...

Re: (Reg's) The Quarry & Shaft Thread
I used to climb with a lad who had an unhealthy interest in dank and hard to find quarries. He was obsessed with finding somewhere to do a new route, ignoring the fact that the reason that there were no climbs in those quarries was because they were damp, loose and had been used a toilet by both hum...

Mid to high 20s on the coast, and it didn't feel much cooler on Teide, but up on the top it was incredibly windy. Once I got off the ...

Re: Plastic or Steel?
I like plastic for "on the go" bottles because I can squeeze it, and they definitely have to have a cap over the nozzle.

Re: Gravel Gearing....again
My lowest is a 30/40 combo front/back....yes you spin. But If you can get a fully loaded bike up the hills where I live (Asturias, northern Spain, think Cornwall x snowdonia) you deserve some kind of meddle and probably a knee operation. Yes you could walk, but spinning is more energy efficient and...

Re: Ordnance Survey Newsletter
I thought that something odd had happened when I (with hindsight) realised that I'd linked some bridleways with a recreational route on a bike ride that I plotted on the app. It never used to be allowed to plot a bike ride on what is ostensibly a footpath, but I'll check this later.

Re: Ribble Adventure: Any Real World Reviews or Action Pics?
I really think that Ribble are missing a trick here by not sending you a bike for review. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who's reticent about spending a wedge of cash based on a ride around the car park outside their showroom.

Ha ha, I thought not.
I should have been a little more specific. Which of the easily cuttable cable locks is the least bad?

Is There Such a Thing as a Decent, Lightweight Combination Lock?
As per the title really. Is there such a thing as a relatively secure coil type combination lock, or are the expensive ones not much better than the cheapos?

Re: Ribble Adventure: Any Real World Reviews or Action Pics?
Thanks for that. I still have a preference for 29ers, but write ups like that are the kind of thing that makes me think of alternatives.
