Re: 3 questions please? Trail spd pedals/Brand X play & servicing/uphil trail optimal tyre width?
I hope it's OK to jump in on this.... A reliable dropper post, that will manage a bag at times... I have broken a few, then tried a second hand (!) reverb... and after a small period it has developed some squish. And reading about this now appears to generally be unreliable. Does the BrandX come rec...

Heard good things from people new to this... are on social media so lots of info there.
I think people can post their planned trips and you can join/work it out yourself
Pannier used to run trips iirc

Re: Dales Divide
It's a good route, but I think I would have bailed if it had been wet. A bit of bog (nothing compared to HT550/Scotland), but quite a bit of field which would have been too much in the rain/mud. It was mostly dry and hard under tyre - I did it on a hardtail with 2.1 tyres, with that aesthetic abomin...

Re: Dales Divide
I'm in for this... Probably the shorter route due to work on Monday night - compounded after now I've looked at the (long range) weather forecast on the met office site....

Re: Dartmoor 200. September 18th
You rode pretty well, past me walking up around hound tor .... I had to stop and 'admire the sign'.... IMO recovery after such a long hard ride like GBDURO is super patchy, and annoyingly unpredictable, sometimes climbers legs, sometimes jelly... But then comes a period of superhero strength and it'...

Re: Dartmoor 200. September 18th
Lovely photo - turned into a lovely morning. I got in around 6.30, and moved off to sleep in an industrial estate in Exeter.... Thanks for the updated route - will update and might be up for it as another group start after Winter.... ? I didn't make the usual BB200 this year, but have got a slot in ...

Re: Dartmoor 200. September 18th
Thank you Lone Ranger, Paul and Roobell - what a good idea, and you all spurred me on to ride through the night. I thought I was about to see one of you at Chagford this morning, but never came to be. A great route, and the timings/route work well for a ride through the night. With a 9am start and g...

Re: Dartmoor 200. September 18th
Hi looking forward to this, hope to be there nearer 8 than 9 too.
I'm planning a bit of an ITT, so will try and ride as much of the night as I can. Looking forward to it

Re: Dartmoor 200. September 18th
Great, 9am works well for me, and this looks like a superb route (and appreciate the fp variation, if required)
I'm assuming the advice in the above post for camping would also apply to leaving a vehicle?
Looking forward to it

Hi
I'm fairly new to this forum and have been lurking on this thread.
Now I know I can make the the weekend, I'd love to join you from the 18th - and meet some of you too.

Cheers
