Re: #jennride 2022 28/29th of May

I've not been on the forum for a few weeks as my MS flared up so been off the bike for about 6 weeks.... It's going to be a last minute decision for me, health and cost of living increases are the reasons i wouldn't be able to get down. I've also not been able to get a lot of miles under my belt, bi...

Re: Viewranger being discontinued.

I've been using Locus Map for many many years and i hardly see anyone else say they use it and i've used it for hiking, bikepacking and geocaching with the kids, i think it's a great app some features are premium but well worth your coin.
