I have the majority of my bivvy kit on the bars (or at least that's my current configuration), comes to about 1.8Kg inc dry bag and harness. That's for the cool season and consists of: bivy bag; sleeping mat; sleeping bag; quilt. As things warm up either the sleeping bag or quilt will get left behi...

Thank you!

As the post title suggests: is the bridge open to cyclists? Last time I looked it was to be closed to everyone due to cost cutting?

We will be coming along,

OK... will confirm tomorrow but put me down for 2 Adults + 2 kids please!

Brooks Cambium saddles do not need to be broken in - they are not leather!! The best part about them is - no hard plastic frame to sit on. All other types of saddle have some foam/gel/whatever over a plastic/carbon shell. Dependent of how much you spend will depend on the type and quality of materia...

We all move on in life, sometimes for the "greener grass" and sometimes because life just is plain difficult and "needs must"....and on that happy point and with a heavy heart, I am selling my Fortitude Adventure, in 19" frame flavor. I am 5' 10" and that my saddle heig...

And the colour please?

Cool, you have a private message.....

Strange, I was just thinking of listing my pair... I have a 710mm wide one in black, aluminum , like new (only done 170km or 2 days use on Norwegian gravel roads so not abused....) that I could be tempted to part with. Will come with the ESI long chunky grips on too and taped.... I am back in the UK...

Thanks folks for the feedback.

Hello, Rain... we all love it.... except the damp climate which is getting to my down bags on 3 day trips, so was thinking of investing in a synthetic bag. As the title of the thread suggests: recommend me a synthetic bag, comfort rating will be a compromise on pack size I know, but I want a small p...

Here is my effort from 2014:

Fat bikes are additive.... so much so that I have now sold (nearly) all my other mountain bikes. Now I tend to worry between fat bike or fortitude adventure for bike packing duties. All depends on how much road will be evolved obviously but I tend to just reach for the fat bike all the time now. Why...

i have flown over from Bergen for the weekend for this... excited too

@norwaycalling, that was the plan but the car has developed an electrical fault and no one knows the problem, so 'fraid not. First thing I do when I get into Torp is get a polse and coffee. Actually, my camp mug is a hydrotex cafe avtala mug from around 2002!! Apologies for spelling, been back abou...

All the nice Lutefisk will not go to waste.... i am sure of it!

I have landed in the UK from Norway, with 1.5kg of edible Norwegian produce and some aquavit to share

Snap!

Will you have the little bag that attaches onto the mountain lion to view (or sale)... very interested in one of those?
