I recall James rode (raced) the TD without a gps and did very well.

Lovely, let me have your address and I'll pop it int' post tomorrow.

Discovered in a bag on my desk, the last remaining bamboo T shirt from the latest run. It's a L in charcoal grey and it's yours for £20 sent as a gift via paypal.

I'll take the Photon please Dave.

You're lucky, Ive being waiting nearly 12 months for a steel one to review - in fairness, I gave over asking after the first 6 months.

Happy Birthday to the man who taught me everything I know about endos at the winter bivy a few years back

Oh yeah, I wonder if the footage is still about somewhere?

Yes, Happy Birthday.

Some years ago one of the local farms became something of a 'science lab' and one of the local forests has a large amount of LSD buried within its trees that no one's yet found ....

I've been told recently that a dry sense of humour and oft-miserable looking/poker face (not intentional, just how I am) can come across wrong Story of my life. I had some very cross people of FB recently because I shared a news story about a motorcyclist who identifies as a cyclist and who then we...

The magnificent Castell y Gwynt (Castle of the Wind)

I'm liking that Greg

When are you thinking Stu? Really not sure yet Steve, I just know that I need to get the wheels in motion for next year. I'd thought about riding it N - S (no idea if this is a good thing) and finishing at my mums which is only a few miles off route. I've been looking at doing this and for me van h...

Better than I thought - cheers Colin.

Quite fancy the Great North Trail next year but logistics might prove interesting, hence ... how far north can you get by train?

There's little point in running big tyres without a decent width rim ... it's the rim that produces the volume thus, the benefit. Otherwise you're partially just dragging round extra weight for minimal gain. buy some 40mm or 45mm and embrace it properly.

I should be able to go in the back and increase it Bridget but I don't want to go too mad ... maybe time you had a cull Actually, I have a feeling you can export your messages and keep them somewhere else.

Nice, but I'd have to amputate some toes

You're not from the Fens are ya?

Dee's just returned home with these from Lidl. Waterproof, thermal fleecy lining, heat reflecting insoles and a sole well suited to flat pedal use. £16.99 https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/ski-gear/livergy-adults-winter-boots/p26810 https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VM8dirUaYqM/Xcw7_GjPmNI/AAAAAAAAHWk/HLw_TS3kEe...

Kinda - buy an 8g stove before Nov 20th and I'll throw in a tapered windshield and an additional 50ml fuel bottle - just add the obligatory Ti mug and prepare to enjoy Nescafe 3 in 1 like never before. https://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/shop/?product=ultra-ultralight-8g-meths-stove-2 https://1.bp.bl...

Good work Zip

You could also get something carbon or even Ti for around budget from PX.

These start at £1400.

Arkose or Sonder will likely offer the best vfm and decent resale value.

These will get you noticed.

Ooh 900SS, very nice. The only bike that lives her at present is Dee's Z650 but I plan to rescue my Venom and AJS model 20 from my mums over winter. There's a couple of other projects floating about but some will take years to happen so they don't really count as bikes. Must admit, I was very surpri...

what size is it?

Sizing is a bit odd as it's actually 'shaped' rather than a square or rectangle.

Yep, 6mm crossgrain for the lines.
