Re: BB 200 - Lost and Found
If there was any wrappers at the top of the rocky climb after the hostal I may be guilty (Accidentally I must stress). I had a saddle bag eruption up there in the dark looking for warm clothes. Otherwise, not guilty. Thanks if you tidied up after me. It any of mine were found there, there may be a b...

I'm hooked - Whats on the horizon?
OK, so following the BB200 I'm already lookin for the next event / ITT.
I know winter is a pain but theres probably some other events worth a crack at right?
What are peoples plans? or was one enough?

Also, kudos & respect to all the people that bivvied out last night. When the skies cleared at about 5pm the temperature plummeted and by 1am there was ice in places and thick frost on everything. I remember my jacket being slightly crispy when I took it off and my helmet covered in frozen drop...

Re: BB 200 ... and so it begins
aye, very well done to all finishers. 15 hours is frankly superb!
I got myself a blue badge this year, although I did sleep for a fair while.
My lights proved hugely inadequate, as did my legs... :D
I'll be back next year chasing a black badge.

Re: How is everyones BB200 prep going?
Bike *should* be good to go, I ride it regularly and providing its still working when I put it away after a ride tonight, its staying that way.
Food is my biggest bug bear, I could carry a stove and pasta, or could try to survive on energy bars and malt loaf! :D

Re: How is everyones BB200 prep going?
OS are great maps but they never seem to be in the middle of any areas I want. Does anyone know the map numbers that cover the route? I expect landranger would do.
I have a GPS but I'm not familiar with the area and maps are a nice back up.

I'm in for the first time this year too.
Prep has involved, errr, not a lot but am planning to ride steady and eat a lot (same as always then)
Looking forward to it, say hi if you see me as I'm billy no mates for the weekend and see you there.

Re: Hi, and erm... anyone know about Rohloffs
Interesting, cheers. I will certainly take a look at the alfine 11 then.
The only alfine I have seen is action was an alfine 8, the cable looked horrible to set up. I will certainly look though.
Is the shifter still the cheapo looking thing for the 11?

I have both. They are both good mats, I found the Numo is more comforatable, and easier to pack down to a small size. They both do however, go down overnight.
