BWB
The Bristol Winter Bivvy had a low turn out - just me. I had hoped to join the SWWB - but an unscheduled event the previous weekend threw plans for the 3 days away with Verena's crew, so a quick overnight local trip cycling from my doorstep in Bristol took its place. On a clear and sunny Friday afte...

SORTED : 29er Frame - 18 ins or thereabouts and 135mm qr
As above - don't want to spend a lot for a winter project so all options considered !
Would hope to be able to use my existing wheels but something with a thru axle could go in the mix.

WTD : 29er Suspension forks for old style Scandal. 100mm qr
I have been riding this rigid for overnights for a while, but thinking of going suspension.
If anyone has anything suitable, please let me know.
Also any recommendations on set up/ travel would be appreciated.

Re: CO2 impact of bikepacking travel or an event
A coupe of links that may help... Whilst European train travel with a bike is tricky, mainly getting out of the UK with it, I always find that the Man in Seat 61 provides guidance and inspiration : https://www.seat61.com/ and after you have negotiated the Eurostar melee at St Pancras those German IC...

Re: Ideas for a SE England to Snowdonia route?
Stu's Offa's Byke route would get you from Chepstow (after the Cotswolds) to Prestatyn, I imagine generally head off west well before you hit the Welsh coast - maybe around Oswestry.
4 days from the S.E. seems tight, but happy to be proven wrong!

Re: Mike Burrows Rip
Sad news,
but his work wasn't all cutting edge and new designs,
a bit more mundane he shortened a pair of cranks for my mate, down to something like 155 mm, so he could still cycle with much reduced movement after a total knee joint replacement.

Re: Bivvy a month 2022
Great news on The Top House, Trefil. !
When it closed a few years back it seemed another remote pub would be gone forever. Must get back there and find the Chartist Cave soon.
