(Think I’ve forgotten a report for July, ho hum…) August’s BAM ticked off on Monday night, eking out the long weekend. I’d even proposed an earlier than ususal start, in order to get a hot meal at a pub before settling down. Despite this, early offers of companionship resulted in a comprehensive rou...

Ha!

I wouldn't say long term experience yet, but... Bought these in 700x42c with the intention of using them for the Badger Divide route.

There's now an email address for contributions:
water@tapandtrough.co.uk

Thanks for the feedback so far. I've dropped the folk who run the site a line about non-Twitter ways to contribute.

There's a Twitter feed and website that's trying to crowdsource points where you can access drinking water when cycling in the UK. https://mobile.twitter.com/TapAndTrough http://tapandtrough.blogspot.com/2016/12/blog-post.html?m=1 Might be of use to folk on here? Some of you may be able to contribute?

Nice write up, enjoyed that.

Any updates on the Velogical bottle dynamo?

Enjoyed that a lot, ta!

I'd be interested too, I've got family in that neck of the woods.
