I keep hoping I can join back in with this but to add to my collection of medical woes my thyroid has now died a death and I have the metabolism of a dumpling. I am 72.4kg despite trying to watch what I eat and exercise. But the endocrinologist says they may up my thyroxine soon - in my mind I shall...

I was very lucky to get one for my birthday - an absolutely gorgeous bike that could be a perfect alrounder.

For me I will be keeping my stooge for the rockier stuff - and for mucky days atm as the fargo is way to pretty to get dirty yet!

Ummm

70.9 kg /156lb / 11st 2lb

I'm hoping it's muscle increasing :)

Sorry I'm late!

70.6kg /11st 1.5lb/ 155.5lb

I'd be happy to get somewhere near 64kg by my daughter's wedding in April.

Ride more (on my shiny new bike ), go back to a low carb diet and complete a bivi a month

I'm in Working from home has had a detrimental effect on my fitness. As I've been very lucky and got a new bike for my birthday I have no excuses not to get out as much as possible!

How about a shackle? I have a few left over from my days of sailing and they are quite useful.

I'd have thought a longer narrower one would work - like this

the car park at the end of Wharf view road is free and has no restrictions. The one opposite booths near the allotments

We are possibly child free (or will br dragging the boys with us!) this weekend so will be making an appearance :)

Thought this one would have been done already . . .
But not.sure the link will work!

I'm sure there are some more ladies out there that would love one for christmas :)

Id also definitely be up for a ladies one in orange - as would Viv, Anthea and Mrs Scattamah . . .just need a few others to show some interest :)

I think there are a few on here struggling with the orange and their red colouring, that and the orange being as steathly for wild camping as a workman's vest - but personally I like orange :)

So far the ladies jerseys are wanted by
Mrs Scattamah, Helen B, Viv B, Anthea G, Me

Hopefully we can find some more. . . I hear they make great Christmas presents for wives and girlfriends :)

Only a challenge to the colourblind amongst us
. . .

Loving the orange!

How many ladies orders do you need to make it doable?

Dare I ask for female cut one (not least because the last ones were such great quality so it was worth the extra expense!) Would there be other ladies want...

+1 is a reading prescription (to correct your inability to focus on near objects), as you'd probably only use these for reading maps etc just pick up a cheap pair from poundland etc, I think you can also get cheap tinted ones designed for reading whilst on holiday I wouldn't have thought riding in t...

Yes of course Barney - and probably lots of smidge

The campsite is already booked. We try to get basic places that just take our group, trying to keep it as close to the BB vibe as possible :)

This event is always slightly problematic to organise, as we struggle to find venues to fit the group near to reasonable trails for children. The late notice has come from people dropping out - we couldn't have squeezed anymore on previously. I wonder if regional versions are the way forward? Please...

This has been a somewhat covert planning operation this year. Not because we are antisocial but because it's a real struggle to find sites suitable for the kind of camping and riding we want to do with small children present. We've had a few pull out so we now have some spaces If anyone's interested...

His dot definitely looks like he's heading back in

TBB has had to go a bit underground this year as we are restricted on numbers where we've booked. It has also moved dates and location to coincide with Scottish school holidays to allow participation from those north of the border. It is a bit of a logistical nightmare but worth it for the cheese, w...
