I'm in Cardiff Saturday morning but should be about mid afternoon.

I used to use a mat when I got my first hammock which was fine but when I got my first underquilt I vowed never to use a pad again. It's just so much more comfy and theres no fear of the mat popping out from you in the middle of the night.

The Welsh are a simple breed for sure.

Posh KFC where they serve beer

Very good Pete :D

There's a lot of folk on STW that think a lap of W2 is epic. They are generally overbiked for the route and can't ride for toffee but talk a good game.

Short ride, around an hour. Medium ride, upto 4 hours. Long ride upwards of 4 hours I suppose. Depends on the terrain aswell I suppose as lots of big hills make it harder so some folk will put that down as a long ride even though the distance may only be small. Did 46 miles, loaded, on saturday in j...

He's back sometime the 'morrow.

Might be interested depending on dates.
