Re: Website problems?
All sorted now. It had indeed been hacked, so that's more money spent

Re: Website problems?
I'm told that it's looking like a hack job. I await further info.

I'm pretty sure we've more chance of getting sponsored by Wurthers Original or Tunnocks than we have any cycle brand

Have a good time Simon - I'll guarantee that you'll be quite shocked by the sheer spectacle at first.

Re: a forum without advertising revenue nor subscription fees!
Thank you for that Shaf'. You're right, keeping the doors open does cost money (not quite as much as LFGSS though) and over the course of a year, everything does add up.

Re: MTB Wrist issue
Sounds like an RSI type injury Dave. I get it from time to time in my right arm - usually caused by mixing cement. I find general rest but while still keeping it moving works and it's always sorted itself out with time*

Re: Brakes; mechanical or hydraulic?
I've fitted / used both and both work well enough. Like James I'm a fan of BB7 and they've never caused me any grief beyond a frozen cable on very cold occasions. Cheap Shimano hydro have caused me grief with micro-leaks but maybe that's a problem of the past? I've never had any issues with Hope and...

Re: Missing the point?
adventure playgrounds Perhaps caused more broken wrists and lost teeth than anything else :wink: Which begs the question, if you’re following a GPX, especially if a GPX someone else has made for you, is it an adventure in the pure sense of adventure? A good point Jack and certainly valid when you t...

Re: Missing the point?
But I'm really not sure why anyone would be bothered by this? If it encourages people to get onto bikes and out into the countryside then surely that's a good thing. There's already enough gatekeeping, elitism, tribalism and snobbery in cycling which discourages the average person from bothering. I...

WRT lost and found
Not much this year but I do have ...
1/ A pair of sunglasses with red / orange lenses and black frames.
2/ A lovely water bottle with what I think are rainbows on.
Get in touch if you'd like either back.

I don't think you're the first to think of that Bill, so I'm fairly sure it'd work.

Re: Missing the point?
They believed a good adventure should be “difficult without being agonising, dangerous without being suicidal, exotic without being obscure and awkward without being impossible.” Is riding a bike on a reasonably smooth gravel road for a couple of hours really any of those things for 95% of the popu...

Re: Missing the point?
I think there's a real demand for easy off road (i.e. traffic free) trails that you could ride on what continental Europeans would call a trekking bike and what we used to call a hybrid. Many people just don't want to mix with the ever-increasing traffic on the roads, but aren't adrenaline-pumped t...

Re: Missing the point?
I really don't think anyone including myself is saying it's a bad thing but that the marketing bollox really ought to stop. Personally, I tend to feel that if not, then before too long many people will have little idea about what's real and what's fantasy
