My 2024 BaM is over. After bailing on the WinterJennride I've just couldn't find time or motivation for Feb. Good luck everyone for the rest of the year

When we did/attempted the French Divide we were each given a cycling cap with our name on the underside of the peak. Might be an idea. The BB jerseys (in whatever colour) are quite distinctive so even without names they are something of an ice breaker: "So who are you on the forums then?"...

Well done with seeing that out, our trio reached the checkpoint at the end of the coach road and then stayed on the road back to Staveley..went home after grub at Hawkshead Brewery and got in bed :-bd Sun was out today, and no rain. Good to bump into you again, and I remembered the other time we'd ...

Just back from the winter JennRide - 150km of winter wonderfulness :???: Come to the Lakes they said. It'll be picturesque they said... There'll be wonderful views they said... It'll be lovely they said... They lied! Got to the ODG at about 1830 and decided to have tea there. About 2030 we headed o...

Hi all, I just found out today that I'm going picking a vehicle up from Elgin in the Highlands. I'm considering taking the bike with me as once the deal is sorted, I'm kinda free to do as i please. Is there anything decent close to Elgin, or do I just head for Aviemore? Never rode anywhere in the Hi...

Not sure I'm welcoming this mid range forecast: Bitter weather conditions will spread from the north of Scotland to the south of England, with 10cm of snowfall per hour forecast for Saturday, February 10. The Met Office also suggests snowfall during this period in its long-range forecast, saying th...

I'm also in for another year. Glad I didn't leave it until tonight, lashing it down here at mo. It was my first ever school night bivvy last night...Most local one so far,setting off after 9pm armed with minimal kit for me. Found a decent spot up on my local golf course looking out on the bright lig...

Late entry...inspired by my FOMO of neighbour and local legend Mrs Polisherman. Day at work Saturday, then 10k ride to a local elevated quarry containing the "Snow" Stanza Stone by Simon Armitage (Pule Hill, Marsden, West Yorkshire). No rain but I shivered like a whippet. Need more than 6...

I've booked the campsite & really looking forward to it

Jones might not be the best BP bike with the space frame … limited frame bag options & fork mounts Get the Jones truss fork bags, and you won't need a massive frame bag. They are a great design and don't budge. I'd personally spend some money on the Jones,you've already admitted its the best bi...

:-bd Liking the...blanket? scarf? A good night to be out because it's about to get colder! Glad you like it. It's a massive thick fluffy scarf which I bought on holidays in Bagneres de Luchon in the Pyrenees last February, for an impromptu snowy mountain wild camp, which was wonderful, so it carrie...

Those red boots look like a better version of Kevin's green lightweight wellies

I had stomach issues last year and couldn't eat enough on the first day..as the temperature dropped at night I had zero power and couldn't generate any heat even will all my layers on riding...result=in a right state and a scratch. Food in = Miles out. It's a firm no from me

I now can't go anywhere without scoping potential bivvy spots and hopefully that will lead me into being more daring for 2024 :-bd Same here Martin :lol: , I always have a mental list way longer than there are months.... Challenge is to think carefully about who you're with at the time, before sayi...
