Re: Not Another Winter Event (approx Feb, 2024)
168Km and gravel bike for me I reckon. Involves fords though, so water levels will need to drop to avoid some extreme pack raft type shenanigans.

Re: Not Another Winter Event (approx Feb, 2024)
Start Cockermouth. Not too much above 400m. Off road, road, whatever. Don't go too large - I'd forgotten I'm doing winter Jennride, but will try to shoehorn this in.

Re: Not Another Winter Event (approx Feb, 2024)
Messaged you Shaf.
All (nearly) rideable on 25mm slicks. Shorter than you suggested (depending on route choice). 8 points sound OK? Looking back over previous threads, one suggests 10 and another 6.lets see how kind he is

Timmy Taylor's? Nice. It's a 'happy memory' beer from my youth, along with Theakston's XB and Coniston Bluebird.

Re: Exposure Joystuck
I've had a similar issue with a Shimano Di2 junction box. Water ingress due to me not replacing a blanking plug in a spare port. I'd say, annoying as it is, the half price deal is a pretty good one. I guess the warranty has to take into account those who will buy one and use it twice a day all year,...

Re: A wee whisky appreciation thread.
One that I've had recommended to me is Dalwhinnie. Yep, enjoyed in the past. I remember it as being somewhere between a Speyside and Talisker style Highland, which I guess makes sense geographically. Sainsbury's own TTD brand Highland single malt isn't far off a standard Talisker to be fair. The Sa...

Re: Torino-Nice Rally logistics - tips?
Sorting the bike for a flight from Nice is easy. Ride to the airport along the seafront cycleways. Head for the furthest terminal building and you can buy a flat pack box for £30ish. A rip off for cardboard, I know, but they give you tape with it, so you can ride in, and have your bike packed in an ...

Re: New Map Time
PM me a location near you and I’ll make you a sample. I’m debating not putting all the ITT routes on as in some places they look really crap due to overlap. I may even leave them off altogether I found them distracting previously, and routes get altered. I'd leave them off, as folk generally import...

Re: A wee whisky appreciation thread.
I was looking at Ledaig tonight - 60% though .
Bowmore - good call. Never had a bottle, but have enjoyed samples.
The variety and subtleties of different ages/finishes is intriguing. It's a bit like cheese 《wanders off to the fridge》

Re: Dales Divide whilst fasting!!
The only way I could see it working would be to wake at 4am and eat, start day 1 and ride 'til you fall, sleep 'til dark and then eat and go until you flop. This would cause a few problems: You'd be trying to sleep during daylight You'd be at your post feed freshest while it's dark and harder to rid...

A wee whisky appreciation thread.
Christmas was good to me on the whisky front and it's awakened my appreciation of the wicked spirit. I'm not aware of a whisky thread, so thought I'd cast about for fellow dram drinkers opinions. Santa brought me three bottles, bless him: Old Pulteney 12yr, Bunnahabhain 12 yr and a Hearach (first bo...

Postie just delivered a £7.50 helmet from CRC. Bought for work, but it's surprisingly well made and comfy.

Re: How much grief can I expect?
I've had two Transporters: 2009-2017 was a 2.5 130BHP 6 speed which was lovely to drive, but had (now) known faults with engine and oil/water pumps. It cost me probably £2.5K in fixes, but I covered over 100K miles in it and loved it. 2017-now is a T6, but very early with EU5 engine, 5 speed 102BHP....

Re: Find yourself a Fogou.
The word isn't too dissimilar to the Welsh for cave (ogofâu) is it? Both Celtic/Brythonic whatever languages. I was just reading about the rapid decline in the Cornish language, after the Prayer Book Rebellion in 16th century. Bloomin religious zealots..... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_Boo...

Re: Veneto Trail 2023 anyone else!
How did you travel there Rich - flight to Venice? And how many days riding?
Valerio - have you started looking at logistics? Looks like flight or train to Venice Treviso is then rideable to start/finish would work?
